S&A Captain, Dave Blake welcomed 22 Cobra captains to S&A on Monday 29th September 2025 for the latest Cobra Tour Event.
It was only right and fitting that the 2 replica Ryder Cups were made available for some special photographs on the day, following the European victory the night before.
Dave presented everyone with a S&A goody bag, which contained a ball marker, pitch repairer, tees, pencil, pen and golf ball. Following some breakfast – the groups were raring to go for an individual stableford competition.
The Groups were as follows:
Group 1 – Keith Reilly, Tony Davies (Captain of Captains) & Martyn Croft
Group 2 - Paul Robley, Dave Blake & Tristram Lesser
Group 3 - Andy Killeen, Dave Pennington & Alan Acheson
Group 4 - Paul Evans, Paul McManus & Ronan McGrath
Group 5 - Dave Gregson, Vic Guney & Martyn Green
Group 6 - David Hest, Mike Robertson & Ron Samuel
Group 7 - Paul Whyte, Ronnie Turner, Joe Cain & John Jones
Everyone seemed to enjoy the golf and thankfully the weather was very kind to us.
The winners on the day were as follows:
1st place – 45 points John Jones (definitely needs a handicap chop!)
2nd place – 43 points Vic Guney
3rd place – 43 points Paul Robley
Nearest the pin on hole 8 - Paul Robley (very good shot on the 1st too)
Nearest the pin on hole 10 - Paul McManus
Longest drive on the 17th – Paul Robley
20 of us sat down for the meal in the S&A Ryder Room (the 2 avid Evertonians had to dash off for the match - bet they wish they hadn’t bothered!!)
