2008 titleholder: Rob Lowndes
The Event: Yes, it’s the three club event
Tournament
Organiser: Nick Hillyard
The
Day:
See results
Just three players turned up in time for the drizzle to disappear completely. Lowndes, Hillyard and Becker showed that to use more than three clubs is just an extravagant joke as the average was 20 points! Rob won by a point.
(or The Golden Putter)
Sunday 16 December 2007
2007 titleholder: Rick Butler with 14 putts, followed by four players with 16.
The
Event: Played over 10 holes with no Gimmees. In the event that a player picks up they will score 3 putts for that hole.
A putt is any shot played on the cut surface of the green but shots played with a putter from off the green do not count.
This will be a 2 ball event, one for the putting competition (the aggregate score of which will also decide the coffee) and one for the weekly Stableford comp. Each of these events carry a one-shot-off-the-handicap "prize".

2007 Results:
A wonderful day with fair weather, fair handicaps and a very fair winner in Peter Macdougall!
Team results were decided using the Butler modified multiplier method - the best two stableford scores were multiplied together for each hole and then totalled - very fair!!
