Mark Terry presenting the winners, Frank Horner (86) and Barry Chapman with their trophies.
We rocked up to Crowborough Beacon for Patron's Day. The course is in stunning condition; it looks beautiful. The heather, as you would expect, is a test. This is one of Sussex's most demanding courses but our winners showed that if you kept the ball straight and applied a suitable amount of linament, you could score well.

With the wind blowing, the sun shining and Cooden Beach in great condition what more could our merry band of golfers want? Well, a victory against Kent is well overdue. Last year, they took us to Northern France before thrashing us 7 1/2 to 2/12. How would we fare this time? Read all about it here.

Our President and host presenting the Presidents Salver to Trevor Pigram from Cottesmore. Trevor notched up a convincing win with 43 points, five points clear of Peter Snook and Des Malcolm, who were only separated by countback. We'd also like to thank everyone at Cowdray Park for everything they did to make this such a memorable day. The course is in fantastic condition, with stunning views and rather tasty food, what's not to like?

Congratulations to the winners, Guy Kent and Trevor Haegar, who scored 43 points and won on countback from second-placed Nigel Powell and Trevor Pigram, with Mitch Clark and Sean Nolan coming in third. Countback was all that separated the first three places.
Next up is the Spring Mixed at Highwoods Golf Club.
The Sussex Golf Captains, founded in 1964, are a non-profit making organisation for Past and Present Club Captains of Sussex Golf Clubs.
We organise an extensive program of fixtures and matches for our members to enjoy and promote friendship to all. By doing so, we look to support Sussex Golf Clubs and help to grow the greatest game ever invented.
Last year we returned over £60,000 directly to Sussex Golf Clubs for hosting our events. This doesn't include the incidentals: drinks, buggy hire, ball sweeps and pro's shop spending.
We are proud to maintain the respect and etiquette the great game of golf richly deserves.
Membership is open to any past or present Captain of a Sussex County Golf Union affiliated golf club, where the said club offer course courtesy to Sussex Golf Captains. An application form can be downloaded here.
If you are unsure, please contact the Secretary.
Why not join in the fun at Eastbourne Downs? Highwoods, always a pleasure to play.
