TO start the new year well, Five Lakes held both the Hangover Cup, played traditionally on January 1, followed by the President’s New Year Cup, played on the first Sunday of the new year.
Many of the golfers playing in Hangover Cup 18-hole stableford were obviously affected by the previous day’s celebrations.
However, three golfers scrambled 33 points, Ian Cottee, Alan Garnett and Barry Boniface.
Third place was taken by three handicapper Jack Garnett with 35 points and second slot went to Ben Grant (26) with 38.
However, winner of the Hangover Cup 2016 was Frank Taylor (18) with 39.
The President’s Cup kicks off the new year with the first medal play competition of the year and traditionally attracts the keener golfers at the club.
Two players returned nett 72s, Malcolm Pook (6), who also won the scratch prize with the lowest gross score, and Dave Chignell (12).
Third place went to Frank Taylor (18) with a nett 71 and second prize went to Ben Grant (26) with a nett 69.
The winner, and holder of the President’s Cup for 2016, was Charlie Powell (15) with an outstanding nett 65.
