Well done to Andrew Hutchinson who won the special Cheltenham day "Gold Cup" competition.
Congratulation to the Hackenbushes who retained the Winter League trophy today. Robert Binnie,
Duncan Ireland, David Graham and Chris Reid were made to work hard in the final against the Latecomers, who also went through the competition unbeaten.
An extra hole was needed to decide the outcome and David Graham held his nerve to sink the winning putt.
Tam Reid, the Hackenbush who has sadly been too ill to participate this year proudly collected the trophy for his team.
