This week the Channels ladies competed in their Edwina Smith Trophy on Thursday September 27th. Beryl Perry was the winner with 37 points playing off her 25 handicap but only on count back from 15 handicapper, Sue Scott. Diane Reeve came in third place with 35 points.

The ladies are making a habit of "Holes in One". This time it was Elaine Jewitt, Lady Vice Captain, that found the hole with her tee shot at the 12th. Congratulations,

On to Sunday and the men's 36 hole Handicap Cup. This stableford competition was won by Geoff McKeown (9 h/c) with 78 points. Toby Scott (16 h/c) in second place with 77 points followed by Scott Wagstaff (3 h/c) on 75 and last in the frame, Dave Perry ( 16 h/c) with 74 points to take fourth place.
