The Don Cup

There was no roll-up on Friday as The Club was hosting the annual, very prestigious, Don Cup.

Conditions and course were perfect and many compliments were received by our guests. These were also extended to our band of ambassadors on the day.



Teams started coming in and assembling in Tom’s around 1ish for a few post round beers before moving through to the marquee for lunch. After a very splendid ham hock tureen, lamb rump & garlic risotto and whatever that fantastic chocolate dessert was’ we had a short welcoming speech from The Captain, then the results.
