On Sunday the 30th of October, 40 well respected Lake Karrinyup Members made the trip down the coast to play a friendly Four-ball match against rivals from Cottesloe Golf Club in the annual visit between the two clubs. There is a long standing tradition between Lake Karrinyup and Cottesloe, with the annual visit between the two clubs dating back to 1938.
The day started off with a magnificent meal in the club house and a friendly welcome from the home club. The format of the day was Four- ball Par, the pair who finished with the highest score was to be declared the winner of each individual match.
The conditions throughout the day made for some interesting golf. Gusty winds and patches of rain made the Cottesloe layout a challenging and daunting task with many players struggling with their game throughout the afternoon.
Post golf presentations were held in the clubhouse and were well attended. The club toastmasters did a fantastic job in illustrating the friendly rivalry and friendships which are held between the two clubs. Many thanks must go to Steve Seward who did a fantastic job at entertaining those in attendance and voicing Lake Karrinyup’s appreciation of the hospitality shown by Cottesloe Golf Club.
The end result of the day was a 11 ½ to 9 ½ victory to see Lake Karrinyup successfully defend the title away from home. Cottesloe Captain Steve Nottage had the privilege of presenting a very proud David Anderson the ‘Good Fellowship Mug’ which will rest with Lake Karrinyup for another year.
