  What a wonderful day’s golfing today at Troon Portland Golf Course for the Annual Match against the East Alliance. Started in 1947 the score before today’s play were 36 wins West Alliance 26 wins East Alliance 2 drawn matches and 1 not played match.

The games consist of 8 Professionals for East and West and 8 amateurs from East and West.

The format today was 2 ball Foursomes in the morning which ended 6 wins for the West versus 2 wins to the East so it was all to play for in the afternoon singles round. 

As the games were finishing the East were pulling it back and at one point it was all square 7-7 then it went 8-7 west then 9-7, 11-7, 12-7, 13-7 which meant the overall winner of the Uniroyal Trophy on the day was the West. The final score was West Alliance 15.5 East Alliance 8.5.

A big thank you to all players taking time out to play today. Royal Troon Committee of Management for allowing us to use the course as well as the excellent catering and refreshments served on the day. A final thank you to Royal Troon Vice Captain Dr Martin Cheyne for presenting the trophy.

Last event for this season.
