Freemen\\'s Events

THE CUTLERS' COMPANY GOLF DAY

The Cutlers’ Company Golf day was held at Hallamshire Golf club on Thursday 20 August 2009.

The event was well attended by 51 Freemen and Friends, who played 18 holes of golf, with two competitions running concurrently; the first for the Master Cutler's Silver Putter, an individual contest for Freemen and the second, a pairs' competition for the Ryder Cup Salver.

The field experienced a variety of  weathers during the round, and the course provided a strong test with its lightning fast greens and long fairways. The Shotgun Start format proved very successful allowing the entire field to sit down for a three course lunch together followed by an address by the Master Cutler and prize giving.

Freeman and past Captain of Hallamshire, Martin Greenshields won the individual Stableford Competition with a score of 33, while Jim Harrison and Andrew Martindale dovetailed to win the Ryder Cup salver with a better ball Stableford Score of 39.

Mr Richard Larking of Ashton Morton Slack won the "Longest drive" and Mr Paul Dawson of Hart Shaw took home the prize for "Nearest the pin".

Of the 51 people attending, there were three individuals entering without playing partners and three non golfers who joined us for lunch only, which is typical of the fellowship enjoyed by all Freemen and Friends of the Company.
