On Saturday club president Bill Purser held his final President’s Day as his five-year reign came to an end.

Bill thanked everyone for their support over the years as well as all 97 players who took part in the competition, making it a memorable one. He then announced that ­current club captain Mike Tremain will take up the presidency and will hand over the captaincy to his vice-captain.

The conditions for the competition were superb and the course was looking fantastic. There was a strong breeze around throughout the day, but that did not hold back the competitors. The scoring was good and many handicaps were reduced.

Wrangaton’s veterans took on Boringdon Park Golf Club at Wrangaton Golf Club. It promised to be a tricky game for Wrangaton as the Boringdon vets team has

a great record away from home.

Wrangaton team captain John Fox and his team did not let it them worry them, though, as they ran out 5-1 winners on the day.
