2002 Bontor Trophy

2003
 
The Bontor match is the annual men vs. ladies event. The format is singles matchplay.

The two Captains go head-to-head. The remaining matches are drawn in strict handicap order.

As in regular matchplay, the higher handicapper receives an allowance of the full difference between the handicaps of the two players. The handicaps shall be adjusted if necessary for any stroke allowances that may be relevant for mixed competitions (click here for details).

The Bontor Trophy is awarded on the day of the event to the winning Captain. No further prizes are awarded, although it has been known for a Wooden Spoon to find its way to the man who loses by the largest margin.

This year the Bontor Trophy takes place on Saturday 10 August. The first tee time is 12:50 on the Dukes course. The Captain has asked that all competitors arrive by 12:15.

The day is rounded-off by the Summer Event, which is an evening BBQ and disco held at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club.

The pairings are listed below. Results will appear here after the event.

The Ladies released their grasp on the Bontor Trophy Saturday with a clear 4½ - 13½ loss to the Men. The first game produced a half for the Ladies and the second a win, but then the Ladies had to wait an hour for their next point, during which time the Men built a commanding lead.

A cloudburst hit the players part way through the afternoon. But the day ended in the dry with the Men celebrating their first hold on the trophy for several years.
