It may have been President’s Day, but it was Khalid Javed who all but set fire to the Old Course at Walton Heath. Khalid matched the scorching temperatures with a scorching 42 points to claim the Reg Hinder Memorial Trophy.
The rest of the field were just specks in Khalid’s rearview mirror – Ollie McCormack scoring 36 points to take second place and Steve Lewis in third with 35. These players were all from Division 1, with handicaps of 12 or less.
The tightness of the fairways, penal heather and very steep greenside bunkers made it a course best suited to lower handicap players and the scores in Division 2 were noticeably inferior. Neil White’s 33 points was enough to win the division, with Jeff Randall’s 32 points taking second spot, on countback from Nev Appleton.
There was some outstanding scoring in the Foursomes, with Phil Edgar-Jones and guest Anil Gupta, playing off a joint 17 handicap, recording an amazing 40 points. Two points behind were Ollie McCormack and Toby Allodi, who beat Phil Harris and Nathan Rose on countback.
The guests seemed to enjoy the course, sunshine and camaraderie, with some posting impressive scores. Nathan Rose scored 40 points, Toby Allodi recorded 37 and James Bakelmun an excellent 36 off a handicap of three.
All the prizes for the day were generously donated by our president, Peter Dazeley.
