The trophy was presented to the club by Dunkley\u2019s Diamond House.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend of the 6<sup>th<\/sup> and 7<sup>th<\/sup> of September saw a field of 57 players try and emulate the performance of the past winners in the field<strong> \u2013 Andrew Frazer (2010), Jeff Lane (2021) and Gavin Furness (2011 and 2023)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once again <strong>Andrew Frazer (RM Corporate Finance) <\/strong>came to the fore with the sponsorship of the weekend\u2019s \u201cmajor\u201d and we acknowledge his support.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>ROUND ONE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A wet, blustery winter\u2019s morning greeted the players and the conditions reflected the scores \u2013 poor!!<\/p>\n<p>The leader was the 2021 Champion<strong> Jeff Lane (17 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> with a score of 1 down which was very good, all things considered. <strong>Brendan Jones (3 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> fresh back from an overseas experience, and <strong>Campbell Sullivan (14 H\u2019Cap<\/strong>) were next on 2 down,<\/p>\n<p>With improving weather, the afternoon scores were expected to improve.<\/p>\n<p>It was still cold (15 degrees, feels like 10) and several players moved into the Red during the early part of the afternoon- among those were <strong>Ian MacDonald (12 H\u2019Cap), Paul Jenkins (28 H\u2019Cap), Jimmy Smith (20 H\u2019Cap) and Roger Dartnell (23 H\u2019Cap) <\/strong>and<strong> Adam Thomson (20 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael du Pont (16 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> made a move with 5 holes to play \u2013&nbsp; 4 down, and then 4 consecutive pluses and a half saw him the clubhouse leader at square.<\/p>\n<p>Lurking in the shadows was the popular 2 time Champion <strong>Gavin \u201cSandy\u201d Furness<\/strong> on his newly acquired Soft Cap Handicap of 12 \u2013 how did that happen?<\/p>\n<p>Square after 9 holes and 2 up after 13. He surrendered the lead with a loss on 17. A half on the last \u2013 1 up.<\/p>\n<p>Another slow starter <strong>Matt Danckert (24 H\u2019Cap<\/strong>) where he was 3 down after 7 holes flew home on the back 9 with 4 pluses to reach the outright lead with the 18<sup>th<\/sup> to negotiate \u2013 an unfortunate loss and he was now 1 up<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ian MacDonald<\/strong> held on until late in his round.

Could he do something special \u2013 not really. Whilst there were 5 pluses 4 of them were followed by losses. However, a 3 down score and 4 down overall was meritorious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Campbell Sullivan<\/strong> had a day off and was out of contention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brendan Jones<\/strong> had moved to the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>A move was made by the Runner up in the CG Dudley and Club Championship<strong> John McKay<\/strong> <strong>(6 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> who was 4 down after round one. A fine 2 up score with only 2 blemishes on his card moved him to 2 down overall and the morning leader and in with a chance if countbacks come into play.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the afternoon field and there were some movers from the pack and there were some leaders going backwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Thomson<\/strong> with 3 pluses, 3 halves and 3 losses was square for the day and 2 up overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Danckert<\/strong> started slowly &#8211; 4 losses during his first 6 holes and 3 down and 2 down overall<\/p>\n<p>So did<strong> Roger Dartnell<\/strong> \u2013 3 losses over his first 5 holes and after 9 he was 1 down overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael du Pont<\/strong> had three pluses three halves and three losses to turn for home Square.<\/p>\n<p>After nine holes the leaderboard took a different look-;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Thomson (20 H\u2019Cap)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 up \u2013 Square&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 up overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Jenkins (28 H\u2019Cap)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 down \u2013 1 up &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Square overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael du Pont (16 H\u2019Cap)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Square \u2013 Square&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Square overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gavin Furness (112 H\u2019Ca9)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 up &#8211; 2 down&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 down overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roger Dartnell (23 H\u2019Cap) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 up \u2013 2 down&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 down overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Danckert (24 H\u2019Cap)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 up \u2013 3 down&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 down overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>John McKay&nbsp; (6 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>4 down \u2013 2 up <\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>2 down overall &#8211; Finished<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff Lane (16 H\u2019Cap)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 down &#8211; 2 down&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 down overall &#8211; Finished<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brendan Jones<\/strong> and <strong>Keedan Nelles<\/strong> were neck and neck for the Best Gross.<\/p>\n<p>So, it looked like a race in seven unless a back nine blitz came from someone in the pack.
