Hi all,

What a phenomenal event this year's ANNIVERSARY CUP was at Oliva Nova. The Hotel was great, the Food was great, the Golf Course was great, the Entertainment was great and even the weather was great. The accolades this year go to WILLIE CUSTANCE who is the 2026 Anniversary Cup Champion with her magnificent score of 40 points, but there  were 1st, 2nd 7 3rd prizes for 3 individual categories and 3 team prizes up for grabs; so how did everyone do?

 
Individual Category 1
Honourable mentions go to Iain Stewart (34pts), James Clasby (35pts) and Simon Thorpe (36pts - losing out on higher handicap), but our trophy winners were: 
Winner : Graham Booth : 38 points
Runner-Up : Brian Platt : 36 points (lower handicap)
3rd Place : Sam McReynolds : 36 points
 

Individual Category 2
Honourable mentions go to Tiina Hurst & Nigel Horsfield (33pts) and Paul Best on 32 and Eileen Greaney (35pts) but our trophy winners in Cat 2 were: 
Winner : Willie Custance : 40 points
Runner-Up : Gordon Hutchinson : 39 points (lower handicap)
3rd Place : Mike McGread : 39 points

 

Individual Category 3

Honourable mentions go to Ken Sewell, Gerry Burton & Eva Karlsdottir, all with 35pts, but our trophy winners in Cat 3 were: 

Winner : Diane Nicholls : 38 points

Runner-Up : Ian Roffe : 37 points

3rd Place : John Fox : 36 points
 

Team Competition 
The Anniversary Cup Team Game format is always a 'stinker' with nowhere to hide and all 4 scores to count. 144 is theoretically par but achieving that is a tremendous feat, however, one of our teams actually managed it 😲🤯.
Winners : Team 5 : 144 points
Jeremy Pike, Michael McGread, Ken Sewell & Gerry Burton 
Runner-up : Team 12 : 135 points

Alan Kilminster, Graham Booth, Nigel Horsfield & Paul Best

Third Place : Team 10 : 133 points

Sam Broadhurst, Michael Hoyne, Willie Custance & Eva Karlsdottir

​

Other team scores were: Team 1 = 127pts, Team 11 = 126pts, Team 4 = 125pts, Team 2 = 124pts, Team 8 = 117pts, Team 9 = 114pts, Team 7 = 106pts, Team 6 = 105pts, Team 3 = 104pts.

 

​Our next game is at El Valle on 28th May so hope to see many of you there then.

Cheers

Brian
