2023 Steward's Cup Results

Thank you to all who played in this year’s Steward’s Cup - this was an ongoing Thursday evening competition spread across the Summer months with everyone battling it out every week over 9 holes to achieve the best average score. This year’s winner was Mark Proud with a great average score of 18.25 stableford points which put him a whole point away from second place, the Steward himself; Adam Lamb (would’ve been rude to win his own competition…)

“The Steward’s Cup was such a great way to get members up to the club on a Thursday evening and proved very beneficial for new members to mix with and get to know everyone. I look forward to many more years of this competition!”

Throughout the competition, a portion of the entry money was put towards the End of Season party so keep your eyes peeled for news to come on this!

The Steward’s Cup may be over for this season but don’t let that put you off an evening round as there is still plenty of sunlight hours left this year - the clubhouse and bar will be open until 9pm so it sounds like the ideal way to spend your weekday evening.
