Glasson Golf Club hosted the President’s Prize competition on Sunday, September 7, under the stewardship of Club President Joe Spollen. Over 120 members competed in one of the most prestigious competitions on the club’s calendar in a shotgun start on the morning.

This year’s competition held special significance as it marks President Joe’s final year as President. To commemorate the occasion, he also formally presented his gift to the club members – a beautiful new starter clock, now proudly standing beside the first tee.
