George was a member for over 50 years. This trophy was donated in his memory by his wife and family. It is in the form of a silver beagle — George’s favourite dog. George lived all those years only a nine iron from the course, in Morgan Avenue. The trophy was first played in 1981. The event is open to 20+ year members and special invitations to former Presidents, Captains and veterans.
This year’s Golden Oldies was held on Saturday 26 October. Weather was perfect for the event, with 78 competitors taking part.
