Bob McDougall (L) present Pat Dawkins with the Thursday winners award
After a 2 year wait due to Covid, St Stephen’s GS managed to fulfill the Dale Hill society day in Sussex. Many members also took advantage of the overnight stay playing the old course on the Thursday. Bob McDougall took the reins and put together an entertaining day of competitions with member winning team and spot prizes
The main society day (Friday) on the Woosnam Course was always going to be a challenge with championship tee positions, long par 5s and a brisk breeze, low scores were expected. But eventual winner Gareth Venables (23HC) defied the odds romping home with an amazing 39 points, 2 shots ahead of second place skipper Paul Sequenza (24HC) on 37points. 3rd place however was contended by 3 members on 34 points with Alan Mountain (27HC) taking the honours on count back with a 19 point back 9.
