Cecil McPhee Perpetual Trophy

The Cecil McPhee Perpetual Trophy annual competition is held in July-August.  For those new members Cecil was a founder member of the West Coast Golf Club in 1973 and played well into his nineties and passed away at the grand old age of 101.  He was awarded the French Legion of Honor shortly before his death and to commemorate his life and achievements we play a medal stableford competition each year.

The rules for the competition are as follows:

  1. All competitors play off scratch.
  2. A par will be awarded 2 points  eg. on a par 4 four strokes will get 2 points
  3. A birdie will be awarded 3 points
  4. An eagle will be awarded 4 points.
  5. A bogey will be awarded 1 point
  6. A double bogey will be awarded  0 points
  7. Any strokes higher than a double bogey the ball will be picked up and a score of minus (-1) will be recorded against that hole.
  8. At the conclusion of the game the points will be added up and the result added or deducted from your handicap eg if your handicap is 20  and your points add up a net plus 9 then your result is 29.

The winners name will be inscribed on the Perpetual Trophy which we have named The Cesspot and an individual trophy will be presented at our annual Christmas Lunch and presentation of awards in December.

To be eligible to win Club Championships players would need to be:

  • Fully paid up members of the club.
  • Must have played ten games with the club in the 12 months before the date of the competition; OR
