Endurance Trophy Results

Having finally managed to get my body moving, I must apologise for the delay in producing the results notice for the weekend. My limbs refused to work after what was a glorious, if somewhat strenous, day at the Club. Rumours abound that tiredness was beginning to creep into some members long before the 36th hole! Apparantly the Vice-Captain played two full holes before realising he had not changed back to his golf shoes, and the Junior Captain, having had almost an hours break, realised on the third tee he hadn't replenished his water supply! And we'll make no mention of the member who retired after 9 holes having ran out of balls, according to his playing partners anyway! All in all, a good, if somewhat tiring, time was had by all. Full results from both rounds, including 2's winners on the noticeboard, final placings as below:

CSS: 71

1st J McCowan (Jnr) Nett 70 + 68 = 138
2nd R Tinker (Jnr) Nett 72 + 68 = 140
3rd C Davidson Nett 71 + 71 = 142

Well done to everyone who hobbled up the 36th fairway and collapsed in the Clubhouse. The next event is the Captain's Charity sweep, with all entry fees being donated the charity of the Captain's choice. Entry sheet in the Clubhouse as always.
