SJA Autumn Golf Day is teed up for Sep 24

By Paul Trow

Bookings are now being taken for the SJA Autumn Golf Day on Monday September 24 at leafy Muswell Hill GC, one of south-east England’s finest and best tended courses.

The highlight will be the contest for the Phil Sheldon Trophy. The late golf photographer was a popular member of the north London club which is hosting the day for a sixth successive year, and it is hoped that Phil’s widow Gill will again be in attendance to present the trophy.

Last year’s winner, with 35 Stableford points, was Pat Mooney, a former sports editor at the nearby Hampstead and Highgate Express.

As usual, apart from the individual competitions for members and guests, there will also be team, nearest-the-pin and longest-drive prizes.

Golfers of all standards are welcome, and non-SJA members are also encouraged to sign up for the day.

The cost per day per head has been pegged at a bargain £55 and will include an 18-hole round of golf (playing in three-balls), a two-course late lunch, trophies and prizes.

The playing list is now open and all entries should be made to Paul Trow (ptrow76780@aol.com and 07973-862747) by September 19 at the latest.

Please flag up special dietary requirements at the time of booking.
