The Society's Late Summer meeting at Huntercombe was as good as ever.  Despite the hot spell and drought conditions the course played well with the tee boxes in great condition and the greens, while slower than normal for Huntercombe, were running true. 

The difficulties of the hard ground were evident in the results with only Andrew Garbutt achieving a par round in the singles.  The foursomes were slightly better with our two ladies, Lizzie and Pauline, playing to par over 11 holes and Andrew and his guest, David Signorelli going on better. 

As always, we were made extremely welcome at Huntercombe – a great course, fantastic lunch, and some good golf!

The full results are attached.

Unfortunately the West Country Meeting was very poorly supported this year, with only 6 members signing up for Day 1 and 6 players on Day 2 - with one player only able to play on Day 1 and one player only able to play on Day 2.

Those members who did play enjoyed a fantastic course in great condition, having hosted The Open Final Qualifying the week before. The weather was kind to us as well, with a moderate breeze to take the edge off the heat over two warm and sunny days. We were joined by Barbara King, Jo Backhouse and Jo Bolton for the dinner and prizegiving in the evening after the. first day's golf. Nigel Dowdall took the Perth Quaich on 32 points, with Andy Hickmott one point behind on 31. David Backhouse won the Jack Bryan's (Over 70) trophy with 27 points.

David Backhouse had to return home after Day 1, but we were joined by Tom Lyons. After a disappointing round on Day 1, Anthony King came storming back on Day 2, scoring 39 points and winning the Ronnie Pew Trophy by 7 points. Nigel Dowdall was second on 32 points, on countback from Andy Hickmott.

The annual match between the Aero Golfing Society and the Royal Navy Golfing Society was held once again at the challenging links course at Hayling Island. Despite the prolonged spell of dry weather, the course was in outstanding condition and with a very modest breeze, playing conditions were near-perfect. 

The Aero GS fielded a strong side and supported throughout by our currently non-playing Captain, we were hopeful of regaining the Perfect Green Trophy which had been retained by the RNGS the previous year. It was, however, not to be. The RNGS had a number of Hayling members in their side and coupled with others “playing their best golf of the season”, the Aeros were soundly beaten. 

Nevertheless, it was a great day out and we look forward to wrestling the Trophy back in 2027.
