Spring Meeting –
Studley Wood GC
With the wind gusting and greens still
recovering from a long cold winter, scoring
was tough at Studley for the Spring Meeting.
Despite the conditions
Robin Ewbank
(B,
1956-1961) played some great golf to win
the Talent Cup with 33 points and had a few
more putts dropped could have reached 40
points. Last year’s champion
Alex Hawkins
(H, 1995-2000) put in another good
performance to score 30 points.
Summer Meeting –
Frilford Heath GC
We were delighted to welcome 22 players
to Frilford GC for the Martyrs Golf
Society’s flag ship event. Playing stableford
over the Green Course in the morning
for the Gaudy Cup,
Kerr Drummond
(G,
1998-2003) played very well to win with a
gross 73 – including 3 dropped shots in the
last four holes! A carvery lunch was enjoyed
by all following which we played 18 holes
of foursomes over the Blue Course for
the Walliker Salvers. The afternoon’s game
was very close with
Charles Cooper
(G,
1961-1966) and
Richard Redfern
(K, 1990-
1995), winning by one stroke over
Richard
Powell
(K, 1993-1998) and
Peter Neal
(K,
1993-1998). The courses were in excellent
condition and we will return for this year’s
Summer Meeting on Wednesday 1st June.
Excellent value at just £80.
London Meeting –
Royal Wimbledon GC
The Martyrs enjoyed another glorious
afternoon at Royal Wimbledon GC,
with
Tim Smart
(C, 2001-2006) playing
beautifully to win the London Cup with
34 points playing off 5. Pleasingly, we
welcomed five Society debutants:
Robin
Catlin
(A, 1973-1978),
Nick Obolensky
(K, 1990-1995),
Fergus Pack
(C, 2001-
2006),
Alex Davidson

(C, 2004-2009) and hope
to welcome even more this year, when we
return on to Royal Wimbledon on Thursday
14th July.
