The two teams will represent the Committee (past and present) and the Members. The winning team will be presented with the magnificent Leon Friedman Memorial Trophy (aka the Committee Cup). The Committee are the current holders of the Cup. Overall the Committee also lead with 4 yearly wins against a tally of 3 for the Members.

If you sign up for the match then you will be guaranteed a game as we will juggle the numbers so that there are an equal number of players on each side. We are indebted to Sean Friedman for his generous sponsorship of the event. All matches will be played over the full 18 holes: the winning scores in individual matches would only be brought into the reckoning should the overall team match result in a tie.
