Wembley management has announced that they are moving to a three tee set-up on both Old and Tuart Courses from 18 January.  See announcement

After years of playing at Wembley without seeing a snake, Graham’s photo of a dugite on the Tuart 13th fairway on Monday is a warning to us to be vigilant when thrashing around in the rough

Putting trophy:  Graham Guy, previous holder of the least desirable club trophy, presents it to today’s proud winner of the putting competition, Tom Guthrie (40 putts) who will be holding the Fergus MacDuff Trophy for the next three months.  At right, Tom is comforted by today’s stroke winner, Gerry Gillett, aged 95, whose score of 94 beat his age for the third time in 2021.
