THE PETER TAIT TROPHY
This trophy was inaugurated in 1950. Peter Tait was a grazier who joined the club in 1920, later when the club purchased the land surrounding the present dam he made a donation of 400 pounds, a considerable sum inthose days, to meet the balance of the purchase price. The club wished to make Mr & Mrs Tait Honorary Members but they declined wishing to remain ordinary members. The trophy is a silver rose bowl. The competition played over two days is a 36 hole nett Stroke Event.
This years winner is Ashley Southon (14) with rounds of 73 and 67 for a total of 140 to edge out Piero Dal Bianco (17) rounds of 70 and 71 total 141.
Congratulations to Ashley who on his day is capable of anything.
