Last year, the Golf Sub-Committee made a key change to the format, transitioning from the original stroke play to a more suitable Stableford format.
Of the 186 participants, 46 registered and were eligible to compete for the title on a blustery day.
Despite the challenging conditions, one player stood out, securing victory by an impressive 5 points.
Congratulations to Enzo Cirone for winning this year's Grandfather’s Trophy with an outstanding score of 43 points!
