PORTER DICKSON CUP – 20TH JULY 2025

The Porter Dickson Cup took place on Sunday 20^th July 2025.

It was a Three/ Four Ball Stableford competition with two scores counting on each hole, contested by 71 players.

Despite the forecast showing a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and possible lightning, this did not materialise and although there was some rain it did not dissuade our ardent golfing entrants.  Luckily all entrants had completed their round before the heavens opened and the deluge started.

The changing weather over the last week from hot arid to wetter conditions made for more challenging play.  The course was in great condition allowing for some high scores.  Our thanks go to the ground staff for their efforts in maintaining the course to such a high standard.

The eventual winners were the team of Kieron Doherty, Simon Oakes, Alister Rutherford and Mark Somerville with a score of 95 points.  Second place went to Chris Alton, Steven Fellowes, David Lippitt and Tony Pallante who scored 94 points.  Third place was decided on countback with Carolyn Fox, Emma Hastler, Jude McManus and Anne Wakelam with a score of 89.

A full list of placings is available on How Did I Do, and reproduced in the file below.

Our thanks are once again extended to Gary McCartney for running the competition and for this report.
