***********************

July started at Purley Downs GC, for the match versus Trinity GS. There were twelve Purley Downs members within the two teams, seven for Trinity and five for Whitgift; this provided a solid base for the two teams, which is very welcome as we have sometime struggled for numbers for this fixture. The course itself was in great condition, with the greens running at their normal speed (fast), and there were fantastic views over London on a bright and quite hot day.

Five pairs set out, playing four ball better ball, and only one Whitgift pair (Alan Blok/Peter Gale) registered a win, the other four matches all going in Trinity’s favour. So the Harrods’ Putter, first contested in 1971, stays in Trinity’s hands.
