Alan Bond retains the GBH Trophy this year supported by Micky Mann (previously 2015 by Andy Bishop)

A thank you to Honourable Sec Howroyd for getting this day organised on his home course.  The society welcomed Peter Suggs and Tony Batchelder back in to the fold who had not attended a meeting for a little while.  The society found the course a tough challenge with the average score being just 28.79 our lowest average of the 2016 season. The course was in very good condition and the weather was cold but pleasant for a November meeting. Sixteen players battled it out for the GBH pairs trophy which is a pairs Stableford better ball competition with the pairs being drawn out of the hat the day before the event.  The results were as follows:-

The longest Drive competition was replaced by a nearest the line competition – what helped many players was the fact the line could not be seen from the tee!!
