The club Pairs Championship was played on Friday 13 September (Tuart Course) and Monday 16 September 2019 (Old Course). The above photo shows Richard Russell presenting the pairs trophy to the winners, John Stone and president Doug McCauley. John Stone had a splendid round on Friday collecting a birdie and 10 pars, scoring a gross 78, net 61, giving him 45 points with a best nine of 24 pts. Doug contributed another 6 points with a birdie on the Tuart 18th to give the team 51 points. Doug was the contributor on Monday scoring 37 points on the Old Course and coming second in the individual placings, whilst John, with a quieter day, contributed another 4 points to give the team 41 points and an aggregate of 92 over the two days, 6 points ahead of the second-placed team of Ron Bensky and Rick Lazar. Rick on 24 handicap birdied the first and second holes to get Ron quite excited at the prospect of overhauling John’s Friday score, but it was not to be.
