Tricorn Golf Day

The inaugural Tricorn Systems Golf Day was held on 24 April at Puttenham Golf Club near Guildford and was heralded a great success. On a wonderful afternoon of clear skies and warm temperatures, the Tricorn customers found the course in excellent but unforgiving condition as only a few managed to better their handicap.

The new “Tricorn Trophy” was designed and manufactured by Nick Ellis of Pope and Meads in Ware, Herts. and was won by Neil Stanyard of Arunfabs in Worthing with an impressive 40 Stableford points off a 21 handicap.

In second place was Gil Locke of Stanmar, Cheltenham with 34 points and third was Daimon Wellington of Wellington Tubes with 33 points.

The prize for “Nearest the Pin” went to Nick Ellis and for the “Longest Drive” to Gary Mayes of Paragon Precision, Ely, Cambs

The venue was widely praised by all attendees and has been tentatively booked for 23 April 2010 for next year’s event.
