Fred Sorenson Shield
The first day of the 2025 summer, 1 December 2025, delivered a scorcher – 37C forecast but it felt hotter than that and the ambrose competition was played on the Tuart course making it hard work for all. We filled our total number of allowed starters with 24 members. Victors on the day by a margin of one point were Alan Sherman, Alan Smith, Ron Bensky and Bob Cousins with the best gross of 65, net 56.125. Second came Rolfe Heldt, David Lynn, Bruce Morrison and Jim Sargent with gross 67, net 57.125 and third was Tom McClain, Tom Guthrie, Stephen Huckle and Barry Boyd with gross 68 and net 58.375.
Gerry Gillett Trophy – 4-club stableford
The Gerry Gillett 4-club Trophy was played in very pleasant conditions on the Tuart Course. It was great to see Gerry again who came to present his trophy to the winner – Gerry started golf with few clubs and some years ago initiated the competition to play for his trophy with just three clubs and a putter allowed. With his centenary birthday approaching in February, it was very good to see him in good form. The winner was Alan Smith, who played to his age of 88, handicap 20, net 68, with 38 points. This is the second time in recent months that Alan has achieved that feat so many congratulations. In second place, Steve Edmondston scored 86, net 69 and 37 points with Steve Huckle third 92/70, 36 points.
