While heavy rain across the district all week saw very little golf due to course closures, Pannal members were able to enjoy a Dubai Stableford over 13 holes on Saturday November 4th. Played in teams of four, the scoring system was two players to score on the first four holes, three on the next four and all four on the final five holes.

56 players entered the competition in 14 teams where a team par score at each hole would generate a score of 80 points. 7 teams bettered this potential with just two points separating the teams in second, third and fourth place.

Third place went to Nigel Wright, Roger Emmett, David Wilby and Gareth Whiles with 83 points: one point better on 84 were Derek Hufton, Brian Hamilton, Alan Morris and Roy Woodburn. But the clear winners with an outstanding 93 points, 9 ahead of the field, were Nigel Brown, Tim Considine, Craig Eastwood and Chris Booth.

On Sunday November 5th the inaugural winners of the Euan London Trophy for the Men’s Summer Foursomes, Steve Duffy and Chris Matthewman, received their trophy from Moray London whose mother Ann had donated the trophy in memory of the late Euan. He had won the Summer Foursomes on no less than three occasions: his previous winning partners, Jonathan Honeysett and Frank Flaherty, were also present and both took the opportunity to pay tribute to a highly respected and valued past member.
