Winner Ross Bishop and President Rob King-Scott
Monthly Event - 31 October 2025

The day started with storms looming. This reduced the field from 17 to 12. Those that ventured out under threatening weather were rewarded with a fairly cool dry day with minimal wind. Good golfing weather. We welcomed some new players, Jenna Lyons and Iain Ward. John Greenhalgh made a welcome return after many years absence.

Grantland Rice and Bobby Jones were close friends who shared a deep admiration for each other.
Rice, a prolific sports writer considered Jones to be the greatest golfer and a hero, while Jones thought highly of Rice who he viewed to be close confidant,
Keep coming back,
and though the world may romp across your spine,
Let every games end find you still upon the the battling line.
For when the one great scorer comes to mark against your name,
He writes - not that you won or lost -
But how you played the game.
