The final Loughburian Golf event of the season was the Old Pupils Golf Event at Luffenham, where teams of 6 play for the Old Pupils Golf Trophy. The format is pairs betterball where the net (of handicap) stableford scores, from the best two pairs out of three for each school, are added together to find the winners.
Following the cancellation of the Grafton Morrish competition, earlier in the year, this was the only team event against other schools played this year, and so the team were keen to acquit themselves well. Unfortunately things didn’t work out too well, despite the best efforts of our team.
The event was played on a very windy Thursday 22 October on a Luffenham course that was playing every yard of its length, from the medal tees following almost 24 hours of rain the previous day.
In the end the team came a disappointing fourth out of five teams, trailing the winners, Old Stamfordians by 10 stableford points.
