Once again the Aero GS enjoyed a fabulous two days at Burnham and Berrow for our West Country Meeting. Having been an Open Qualifying course earlier in the month it was very well prepared and in impeccable condition. Even the weather was kind to us, remaining dry throughout with a fresh breeze on the first day and just a light north-westerly on the second. As usual we were looked after very well indeed by the clubhouse and catering teams which made for an all-round thoroughly enjoyable Meeting.
Although we were a little light on numbers this year (mainly caused by a clash with the RAF Golf Championships at Moor Park) we still had some fierce competition and excellent scores. Unfortunately we did not have sufficient ladies to compete for the Challenge Trophy, so this will be held in abeyance until 2026.
For the other trophies, on day 1 the Jack Bryan Trophy for the over 70’s was won by Alastair Beedie with 33 points, and the Perth Quaich by Anthony King with 38 points. Following overnight adjustments to handicaps (in both directions) the battle for the Ronnie Pew Trophy on day two was won by Keith Dennison with 37 points.
