Fred Sorenson Trophy 24 Nov 2023

The club’s first trophy event in the 2023-4 financial year was the Fred Sorenson Trophy ambrose competition.  The day was forecast to be a continuation of 4o-degree heat wave, but dawned humid and a splendid sea breeze arrived about 9 am.  However, playing numbers were down as a result of the forecast and only 15 members competed in teams of three.  The winners were Tom McClain, David Hayes and John Campbell – Tom and John claiming the trophy for the second year running albeit with different partners.  They scored two bogeys in the first nine but recovered with help from Captain Tom to score 3 birdies in the second to finish one under the card at 69.  With a combined handicap of 8.5, their net score was 60.5.  Strangely, the teams finished in the same order as their scores with second place going to Rolfe Heldt, Tom Guthrie and Chris Wynne with 70/61.1 and third to David Lynn, Alf Pezzali and Barry Boyd with 71/61.7.

Winners are grinners – John Campbell, Tom McClain & David Hayes
