With the wind chill keeping the mercury hovering at -3°C, 46 members set out for this nal trophy match of the season. A hard frost made the usual links-style chip and run a risky venture with the ball seemingly willing to dart o in any direction (except straight) once it made contact with the various hoof prints or repaired divots that are a cherished part of this famous course. e other option for nding the frost covered greens was to throw the ball high with the hope that it would settle quickly and not bounce o at some unpredictable tangent. As the scores show, it was a tightly fought contest with only one point separating 1st from 4th in Division 1. In his post-match interview, the winner Charlie Von Landau, who has recently recovered from a dislocated shoulder, said the di erence was that he had one of those days where all his putts dropped, the kind of day that every golfer dreams about!
