Congratulations to Steve Randall who becomes the first member of the European team who will defend the Swingers Trophy in Miami this November.

Steve, pictured receiving his prize from Flying Club's Jenny Collyer, triumphed in our Flying Club Gold Members Golf day at Brocket Hall in gale force winds and torrential rain. Despite the weather, the condition of the Melbourne Course was exceptional and it certainly led to some good scoring.

This year we had two handicap divisions of 0-19 and 20-36 meaning more opportunities to win a prize, with prizes going down to 5th in each division. The runners-up in each division were Noyan Nihat (20-36) and Paul Swatkins (0-19) both with 36pts whilst the winners in each division were Robert Wilson with 37pts (20-36) and Steve Randall with 38pts (0-19). It was therefore left for Steve to win the overall competition and a place in our Swingers Final.

The team competition on the day was won by Nigel Rusby, Robert Wilson and Noyan Nihat with 87pts.

May we thank everyone who made it to Brocket Hall on the day including those who attended the tuition clinic, despite horrendous driving conditions. May we also thank all our sponsors for the fabulous gifts and prizes.

All focus now turns to Mannings Heath in July where the second of our finalists will be chosen.
