Gerry Gillett 4-Club Stableford 9 Dec 22

Course             Tuart Course                Competition   Gerry Gillett Trophy – 4-club stableford
Conditions      Sunny                           Players            24 members

We competed for the Gerry Gillett Perpetual Trophy on 9 Dece 2022,  playing stableford with a maximum of 4 clubs, one of which had to be a putter, and a full field of 24 members were present for the event.  It was overcast and somewhat humid at the start but the clouds moved away and we finished in plentiful sunshine with a sea breeze.   David Lynn was exceptional in the first few groups in coming in with an 87 gross and 35 points, but later groups produced the other placegetters with Tom McClain in the last group shooting a stunning 78 gross 39 points wielding a driver, a 6-iron, a wedge and a putter.  His back nine produced 22 points to win him a ball. Barry Boyd in the penultimate group shot a 96 gross for 35 points to win second place from David Lynn, and Barry also took second place in the best nine with 19 points.  Steve Parkinson’s card didn’t add and lengthy attempts by his partner to reconcile the differences didn’t clearly resolve the position, so he ended up with a gross 102 which should have yielded 35 points but nobody could get it past 34!  The photo shows Gerry Gillett, aged 96 and recovering  from a hospital stay after getting covid, congratulating the winner, Tom McClain.
