Sheerness Golf Club continued their 100th anniversary celebrations with their Centenary President’s Day on Saturday.

The competition was sponsored by HSBC Bank, who offered a new Volkswagen Golf car for anyone scoring a hole-in-one at the 17th hole.

Secretary David Nehra said: "None of the competitors were able to win the car, but there was still some very good golf played.

"We are grateful to HSBC for their sponsorship, which included a cheque for £200 towards the cost of producing our course guides."

The winners of the four-man stableford team event, with the best three scores counting, were Dan Pullen, Ben Pullen, Jake Jackson and Bradley Honour with 125 points.

Runners-up were Nathan Hutchinson, Terry Barnard, Guy Lockyer and Bradley Parker on 118, and third Warren Cavilla, Mark Brown, Matt Dale and Ben Chubb with 116.
