Betterball competition raises charity cash

The Men’s Presentation Day four-ball betterball competition at Tydd St Giles Golf Course was a belated competition which had to be reorganised because of bad weather.

Ciuffini reminded all that competition entry fees for 2025 would cover £1,000 awarded to the green keepers to spend on any improvements to the course during 2025.
Winners of the betterball competition (after count back) with 107 points were Jonathan Hubbard, Mark Whittaker, Michael Ewing, and J Morais, in second (ocb) with 107 points were John Martin, Ciuffini, Ken Doughty and Luke Stanford, and in third with 105 points were Wayne Alder, Clive Barber, Tim Page, and Oliver Ewing.
