Spitfire Trophy

Posted: August 11, 2016 in Whats happening in Yeovil

Yesterday I had the good fortune to play golf at Stoneham Golf Club in the Spitfire Trophy, it was a Captains and Past Captains competition, Allan was a great team mate, getting me out of trouble many times.

There were 36 pairs playing 36 holes in the morning and 33 holes in the afternoon, the buggy I ordered wasn’t available so we had to walk around in the morning, thankfully a pair from Worthing took pity on us and let us use their buggy in the afternoon allowing us to play all the holes, but the morning walk did for me and I was totally shot coming up the 18th for the second time.

The Worthing pair went on to be in the prizes, a very well done to them.

We finished half way up the leaderboard, we didn’t win but again we didn’t do to bad either, especially as I had not played there before and we walked in the morning.

Stoneham’s hospitality was first class and the friendliness of the other golfers made the day throughly enjoyable. 

I would defiantly recommend visiting Stoneham if your a golfer, it’s a lovely golf course, but be warned its hilly and the rough defiantly needs to be avoided, it’s deep.

Thank you Stoneham Golf Club for a great day
