SCCC wins Littlehampton Centenary Tournament - by Daphne_Gaitley 18/05/2009 10:36

Littlehampton held their Centenary GC Tournament on Sunday 10th May 2009. It was brilliantly organised by Lilian Holdsworth, supported by her husband, Michael, and many other club members too numerous to mention individually by name.

We were greeted on arrival and our every need was catered for. The courts were beautifully set out and looked great. The games, which we thoroughly enjoyed, were quite a challenge. After the morning session we all had a picnic lunch, beverages were offered throughout the day, and in the afternoon there was a magnificent celebratory tea.

The event was won by SCCC - the team:

Capt. Daphne Gaitley partnered by David Gaitley

and Alan Cottle partnered by Avril Rangoni-Machiavelli

The Littlehampton team was a close second.

The Centenary Trophy was presented by the Mayor of Littlehampton.

The weather was kind to us and and we all had a really wonderful time. Congratulations to Lilian and the club for an excellent tournament.

Home team wins Inter Club Golf Competition at Southwick - by John_Low 08/03/2009 21:56

Sussex was victorious at the Inter Club Golf Day held at Southwick today. This is the first time the club has run such a competition in the winter season. Six teams from local clubs competed on a day of contrasting weather conditions - sunny in the morning and rain in the afternoon - both conditions 'helped' by a fairly icy wind!

The format was an american block with each team playing a doubles and two singles games.

The results were:

Sussex County	1st place with 5 wins
Purley Bury / Royal Tunbridge Wells	Joint 2nd place with 3 wins
Littlehampton (two teams)	Joint 3rd place with 2 wins
Rother Valley	Enjoyed the day!

SCCC hopes to repeat the occasion next year so if there are any comments on the event, please contact the club.
