TA turnout of 41 players contested this year’s Jack Chettle Trophy, with 41 players taking to the course in pursuit of one of our most cherished Honours Board titles. The scoring was tight, the banter was lively, and the competition sheet looked as though it had survived a small storm of arithmetic by the time the last card was signed. The event produced a tight finish, with several players separated only by countback.

A small mystery surrounded the presentation this year— the trophy had mysteriously vanished, somewhere between the clubhouse and the committee cupboard. Whether it had wandered off, gone into hiding, or simply decided it deserved a sabbatical is unclear. But thanks to the magic of AI, the photo below now shows the moment exactly as it should have happened — winner Keith Evans being presented with the trophy by Seniors Captain Phil Harrison, silverware restored and dignity preserved.
A hearty congratulations (and perhaps a raised eyebrow) to Peter Milburn, who scooped the five‑pound card draw. Proof, once again, that you don’t need to trouble the leaderboard to walk away with the day’s most satisfying return.
All winnings will be credited to your bar card in due course.
