The Cecil McPhee Trophy competition was held on 12 August 2022 under warm and sunny winter conditions. Twenty-four club members competed for the trophy under stableford off scratch rules.  The winner was Captain Mike Spencer who achieved 36 points with a gross score of 83.  The runner-up was Tony Fisk with an excellent round of 72 off the stick but collecting three penalties for playing the wrong ball to bring his gross up to 75 and his points to 35. Third place went to a recently-joined member, Rolfe Heldt, with a gross 85, net 73, 33 points.  The photo shows Barry Boyd (right), recently retired as vice president, congratulating the winner, Mike Spencer (left).

Five golfers set off in the rain which lasted for two holes before stopping to show some sunshine for a short while.  We got to the 5th green on the Old Course before the rain started again and it got progressively heavier as we tried to get to the green on the 6th. John Campbell abandoned at that point whilst David Lynn, Garth Irvine and Tony Fisk lasted another hole before floating off to leave Mike Kimbar to finish the nine with 16 points – a truly creditable performance in awful conditions.

Operations Manager and the man responsible for our bookings on the course, Jason Roach, collected a top honour at the 2022 WA Golf Industry Awards – he was awarded the prestigious Hilary Lawler WA PGA Club Professional of the Year award.  Two other staff members, Andrew Thomas and Will Brennan, were also nominated for honours and the course was finalist in the Facility of the Year award.  We should remember that the public clubs at Wembley have a privileged position in terms of scheduled booking times without the need to join a weekly telephone circus to get a tee-of time.  It is part of Jason’s job to juggle the desires of clubs like ours for particular start times with the need for adequate public access to a Town of Cambridge facility and that cannot be an easy task. Congratulations Jason!
