Shropshire golfers celebrate President’s Cup success

The President’s Cup was given to Bridgnorth Golf Club by then-president Brigadier Goulburn to celebrate his 80th birthday in 1986 and is a four-ball better-ball competition.

James Lee & Andy Thompson took home the prize with a score of 65 – on countback over the last six holes from Matt Lunn & John Gidney.

The next three places all went round in 66, so again were decided on countback – with George Wall & Harry Broad third, Gavin Caw & Tom Alford fourth and Jonathon Guest & Phillip Murphy fifth.

Current president Vivien Catterall held her president’s supper in the evening – the first since Covid.
