Fred Sorenson Shield – 29 November 2024
The Fred Sorenson Shield is an ambrose competition – 17 players competed for the trophy on the Old Course on 29 November 2024, in advance of the annual general meeting. Four teams, one four-ball and 3 three-ball, had gross scores less than par, but an outstanding performance of a team comprising Garth Irvine, Bruce Morrison and Barry Boyd proved the winner – they chaulked up 6 birdies against just one bogey to give them a net 67. Second place went to a four-ball team of John Campbell, Richard Russell, Steve Huckle and John Allen who scored 5 birdies against 2 bogies for a net 69.
The winning ambrose team – (l-r) Bruce Morrison, Garth Irvine & Barry Boyd
Gerry Gillett Perptual Trophy – 20 December 2024
Gerry Gillett recently announced his retirement from active golf just 83 days before his 99th birthday. The 20 December 2025 marked the ninth occasion on which the club has competed for his trophy – the Gerry Gillett 4-Club Stableford Perpetual Trophy. Gerry presented his trophy to the trophy competition winner, club president David Hayes. In the photo below are (left to right) runners up Ray Parry and Stephen Edmondston who both scored 35 points, with Gerry Gillett presenting the trophy to David Hayes the winner with 37 stableford points. Gerry told us the origin of the trophy – he started playing golf in 1937 with just two clubs but soon acquired a couple more which served him well for several years. He believed then that 4 clubs was quite enough and he often wondered why golfers needed as many as 14 clubs in their bag.
