The 2018 Club Championship will be played on Saturday 26 May. For anyone who has not previously played in the event, this is one of the best days of the year at the club. It's played as a 36 hole medal event, with players going out in handicap order. The title of Club Champion is awarded to the player with the best aggregate gross score, and there are also trophies for the best aggregate net score (the Silver Jubilee) and the best gross score by a 10+ handicapper (the Gordon Coombs Trophy), as well as a host of other prizes. Food and drink will also be plentiful on the day.
The Club Championship is open to all members. If you'd like to play just sign up on the sheets that will be up at the club soon. If you can't make it to the club to sign up you can email us and we will add your name.
