The Bontor Trophy is the annual Men vs. Ladies singles match play
event.
The two Captains go head-to-head. The remaining matches are drawn in
strict handicap order.
As in regular match play, 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). Any shots are taken against the Men's stroke
indices.
The Bontor Trophy is awarded on the day of the event to the winning
Captain (Honours
Board). 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.
The course and tee time are to be advised.

Match Report
Report by
Cheryl Woodhouse
The annual Bontor match between the ladies and the men took place on
Saturday 5th August on the Duke's Course on a sunny afternoon.
The format was singles match play and 14 ladies and 14 men signed up to
play. The ladies and men were matched as near as possible to matching
handicaps. The men were in confident mood that they would retain the
trophy for the third year running. However the ladies were determined to
regain the trophy.
A knife edge situation arose as the score was 6½ games to the ladies -
5½ games to the men, as the final game approached the 18th green.
Jini Beacham came up trumps beating her opponent on the 18th green and
thereby the trophy was returned to the ladies after 2 years.
Jolly fine refreshments were provided by Jan Oliver and the jubilation
of the ladies could be heard far and wide and probably for some time to
come!
Well done ladies. |
