Paul Conibear receives the Rex Cleaver Championship Trophy from Tony Lloyd
It was the middle of a heatwave and we were playing a medal from the John O'Gaunt white tees.
Not only that, but the start times were delayed by an hour because early morning thunderstorms over Sutton had left the greens flooded.
Our man at the sharp end, Competition Secretary Nigel Underwood, was unphased. He was there at 6.50am negotiating with the pro shop, dealing with last-minute withdrawals and trying to put the start sheet into some kind of order.
Step up the pro shop and Richard Childerley to make some sense out of it all and ensure it ran as smoothly as possible.
Result? Most of the original field made it round the course and staggered into the bar to compare notes on a pretty challenging day. At least 32 Deg C and little if no breeze.
Early starters probably had the cooler conditions and one man in particular coped better than most.
Congratulations to Paul Conibear who won both the Rex Cleaver Championship Trophy for the best nett score (69) and the Bessant-East Scratch Trophy for the best gross score (79).
Runner up in the Rex Cleaver was Peter Harvey on nett 69 and in third place was Andrew Brookman on nett 70.
The three divisional prizes were won by:
Paul Hammond (Up to 14 shots) 71 nett
Keith Howlett ((15 - 19) 74 nett
Terry Domagala (20 Plus) 72 nett
Raffle prizes (£10 pro shop credit) were won by Ken Wareham, Keith Garden, David Barlow and Richard Westergreen-Thorne.
Paul Conibear also won the Bessant-East Scratch Trophy for best gross score
