Penbruce Trophy
The second day of the AGS weekend sees the society play for the Penbruce Trophy at Ham Manor Golf Club.
What the club says: The course dates back to 1936 when Henry Cotton, Jimmy Adams, R.A.Whitcombe and Alfred Padgham played a superb exhibition match to mark the official opening. When the golf course designers moved on to the site in 1936 they found a wealth of natural features despite the basic flatness of the area. There are two or three small but significant changes in level and some marvelous sweeping contours in the terrain as it moves from open countryside through trees, bushes and shrubs. Although the setting and the entire nature of the course is parkland, there is something of a links quality about the turf, no doubt stemming from close contact with the sea that this stretch of country enjoyed for centuries.
Defending Champion: Kevin Hardy
