My thanks also to Simon for the now traditional Last Post, a memorable experience as the sun rises over the 10th tee, to Steve for supplying the trumpet, to Rob for the Inner Circle (is that a tradition too?) and for notifying the results on the web page almost before they were announced at the halfway house.
Congratulations again to each of the winners. Remember the overall winner is responsible for engraving the trophy!
