History: The Stroke Play Trophy first awarded in 1984. In late 1983 there was some discussion at Council about changing the format of the Championship Cup (the original trophy of the Club) but it is clear from the minutes that this idea was not welcome and the result of the discussion at that time was the purchase of a new trophy by the Club to be called the Stroke Play Trophy. It was decided this would be a four round medal play trophy. For many years the trophy was played utilising medals on four consecutive months, two on the Kings and Two on the Queens. The best net aggregate was declared the winner. In recent years with the construction of the PGA Centenary Golf course the format of this has now been changed to three medal rounds one Kings, one Queens and one PGA. Again the winner is the member with the best net aggregate for the three rounds
The Scratch Stroke Play Trophy came into existence in 2020 when then Club Captain Andrew Lothian was delighted to have won the scratch section of the Stroke Play event only to discover there wasn’t a trophy for that….. he solved this by donating a lovely Claret Jug which has been awarded from 2021 onwards. Andy hasn’t won it…. yet!
