The annual match against the redoubtable Sugar Association was held this year at Denham GC on 3rd October, one of the most picturesque clubs on the circuit with a clubhouse dating back to the 16th Century. The course was designed by Harry Holt and opened in 1911, just ten years after the LMEGA’s records begin. Even the local railway station is called Denham Golf Club!
The morning pairs saw victories by Edward Sawbridge & Martin Pratt and Nigel Stern & Paul Shuter, while Ashok Singhania and the in-form Barry Watson managed a half. The lunchtime score stood at 2 ½ - 1 ½ to the LMEGA with eight singles going out in the afternoon. Whatever the LMEGA team imbibed at lunch did them a power of good as Martin Pratt, Paul Shuter, Ashok Singhania, Barry Watson, Edward Sawbridge and Brian Woodbridge all won making the afternoon score 6-2 to the LMEGA and the overall score 8 ½ - 3 ½, completing a thumping and the LMEGA wrestling back the Commodity Cup, which we have not held for so long that there is no photograph to include in this report.
