On the second day of the "Double Header" weekend with North Foreland, the final result for the main trophy, The Northcliffe Cup, had to be settled on countback over the last few holes. Both Nick and David Crump had [...]
There were celebrations late into the night for the Society team that played in this year's annual match against North Foreland Golf Club.
