This year Ralph’s Trophy was based on a medal competition with full handicap. With over 50 entries for this competiton the first group teed off at 8.10am Sunday Morning.

The outright winner with an amazing -14 was J Davies (a new member to Wernddu) playing off a handicap of 18, or should I say was playing of a handicap of 18. Please check what the Handicap Secretary has put you off now.
