This is not because it was sent off for engraving but because we failed to retain it last year and yesterday was a repeat performance, once again at the glorious setting of Moor Park GC.
Despite leading at lunch after the morning fourballs 3-1 over the West Course, with victories by Ian Taylor/Ashok Singhania, Grant Gilmour/ David Farrar and Bill Smit/Martin Pratt, the afternoon singles showed a complete reversal of fortunes. Only Bill Smit and Neal Avent managed victories over the High Course, with Ian Taylor securing a half, which left the Scrap winners by 6 1/2 – 5 1/2.
The only consolation we have is that Gary Holloway will be paying for the engraving!
