The official closing of the 1941 golf season took place during the weekend there being a good attendance of members despite the unpleasant weather. The championship cups were not competed for this season owing to very bad weather when the matches should have been played, and to petrol restrictions compelling a few of the players who have to travel many miles to curtail their golf. The only cups played for were the Kummerstein Cup which was won by Mrs J. Bannister, and the Nimmo Cup won by. R. Weston. The president (Mr S. Gray) in presenting the prizes won during the season, congratulated the winners and regretted that the prize list was not as large as in former years.
