Hannam & Mann “ham and egg” their way to victory winning the GBH Trophies by 1 shot from Messrs Lunn & Lunn on a lovely afternoon at the Ashdown West Course
A lovely day, possibly the last really good one of this summer, saw 24 players compete for this pairs competition with the added interest of a joker being played on one hole by each player which doubles their stableford points for this pairs competition. An interesting day with a few events to note. Team Competition …

Read MoreGBH Trophy Order of Play – September 2024 – Royal Ashdown GC
The West Course measures only 5,606 yards from the back tees, but despite its humble length, it’s not an easy course on which to post a low score. Small greens with devilish runoffs provide a serious workout for the short game, and you’ll need to keep the ball on the straight and narrow. The home hole…

A fabulous day in terms of the turnout and the weather for our trip to the seaside. Light winds stripped the course of its main defence allowing some very good scoring to take place on this popular course with the membership.

A very pleasing turnout of 28 (plus a reserve list) including a welcome to our guest Mark Saville for this popular outing down by the sea.

Micky Mann wins the MGS tour which saw great weather, great courses, great food (and drink) and great comradery. Day one – Hardelot Pines A bright and early start on Tuesday morning started well with James remembering his passport unlike in the previous year when a swift about turn to home was required. That said Tom…
