Quarter Century Trophy

Captain Mike Houghton is introducing a new trophy to mark the Society's Silver Jubilee.

Any member who plays for all seasonal trophies (Spring, Summer, Autumn) is eligible to win the Quarter Century Trophy. The best Stableford score for each member in each season will be added together. The the member with the highest total of Stableford points based on this calculation will be awarded the trophy.

Only those events in the main society calendar that qualify for seasonal trophies will be counted. One exclusion: the winner of the Champion’s Cup will not be allowed to win this trophy.

Good luck to everyone!
