Players with handicaps of 12 or below are eligible to compete in the Club Championship, the highlight of the golf season at Gerrards Cross Golf Club. There was a good turnout for the 36 hole medal event this year, all were competing for two trophies, the Coronation Cup (Scratch) and the Chalfont Park Cup (Handicap).
Dry but very windy weather prevailed for the whole day, the combination of high winds and lush rough produced a high "lost ball" count for many players. Predictably these factors had a considerable impact on the scores returned by the field.
Even when playing in difficult conditions someone always manages to keep their cool and complete the task. This year Craig Buttivant (+1) was the man, he became the Club Champion for 2008 with scores of 71 & 75 = 146 - Well done Craig!
The Chalfont Park Handicap Cup was won by Ian Stuart(10) who returned very commendable scores of net 70 for both rounds.
During the presentation of the prizes the Captain mentioned that Jack Haines had put in a great performance considering that he has recovered very recently from a broken arm. Jack was in the frame for both Scratch and Handicap competitions, second place in the Chalfont Park Cup however offered a better prize.
Thanks were expressed to the officials and helpers most of whom were also on duty the previous weekend for the Misbourne Cup.(listed below). The Ladies Captain and Ladies Secretary by tradition had a very early start to greet all competitors, they also organised the cards and Ball Sweep.

Ladies Championship Day is the most prestigious event in the Gerrards Cross Ladies section calendar. The event is played over 36 holes for the Margaret Robinson Scratch Trophy and the Margaret Walker Handicap Cup. This year it took place on Tuesday 17th June in sunny playing conditions with a brisk wind blowing for the afternoon round. These windy conditions had an impact as the scores were generally higher for the pm round.

In recent years this 36 hole Stableford Championship competition for members with handicaps of 12 or over has been played over two days. This move has not restored the level of entries experienced in years gone by but those who did participate were blessed with good weather for both rounds. The course was in superb condition but the rough punishing for players who strayed too far from the "straight and narrow". A presentation lunch was held after the Sunday round, a few players with family committments on Father's Day were not available for the meal . A lunch of Beef & Ale Pie & Veg.with Strawberries and Ice Cream followed by prize giving rounded off the event in fine style.
Ivan Li's score of 36pts for the Sunday round added to his exceptional Saturday score of 42pts produced an aggregate 78pts, a clear winner by 3pts from Graham Hamilton.
The Captain gave a vote of thanks to both men and lady members who gave up their time to help run the event. Brian Bedingfeld himself had a busy weekend as Starter and general manager of the event including the refreshments at the 10th green.
RESULTS
Misbourne Cup results take precedence over the Saturday /Sunday rounds, only one prize may be won per player.
