Hide AdEwan Redpath is something of a club legend, having played in 19 finals.
Greg now joins his grandfather and his dad in winning the club championship.
All the finalists had to compete in qualifying rounds to make it to the knockout stages. The quarter-finals and semi-finals were played in some tough conditions, so a dry day for last weekend’s finals was most welcome.
Much credit went to Bob Hewie and his greenkeeping team for how well they presented the course.
