With 22 competitors, the tournament proved to be invigorating to say the least with torrential rain in the morning and gusty winds that nearly blew the refreshment gazebo away! The sun did appear after lunch leading to all golfers returning to the clubhouse dry!

The winner of the trophy was Paul Hine, second was Mike Lancaster and third Pat Furlong. Longest Drive was won by Gary Thomson and Nearest the Pin by Terry Jennings, Howards Dad.

The event was again sponsored by Becker (UK) ltd who covered the cost of all refreshments. Generous donations were given by players and others who continue to support this established event year on year

The 2012 tournament takes place on Saturday 8th September at Bulbury Woods Golf Complex in Poole Dorset. Anyone interested in playing can contact Keeley Ashley at keeley@silentwhistle.co.uk."
