Gavin Hammond secured his first win on the TBIS tour with a playoff putt off in front of the Pyecombe Clubhouse to snatch glory away from Dave Blunsdon.

The 2 players stringed together a 40 point round each to take the deciding winner of event 9 into a playoff with Blunny on this occasion coming up short. 

Pyecombe golf club entertained 29 competitors for the final event of the 24/25 season. Points averages were all to play for with the Race to The Stone finals approaching in April. The course was in fantastic condition for February which played very well with the recent wet weather the south coast has had to endure recently. With the wind picking up on the back 9 the course seemed to play hard but average points totals across the field reflected differently. 

The day seemed to get better for Gav Hammond with his team also taking the winnings for the team game on the day. Dave Wilds, Barry Boyling and Luke Stewart all walked away with extra money in their pockets to what they started the day with. 

With only 3 nearest pins in play at Pyecombe the pots were upped before play and to the delight to everyone involved with the TBIS the committee took 2 of them. Hunty & Winkle secured a little extra cash to go towards the TBIS Boat they have in mind for 2026. The consistent Craig Prior took the 8th over the ravine with a nice shot from the pin only 5ft away.

Gary Heffernan came home with the pony hat on the day after receiving an extra shot for the days play, The committee will now review his handicap again where they will evaluate a potential rise again. Gary though as always was in good spirits and emphasises the society in general that we play this game to socialise and enjoy a day out together. 

The all-important Race to the Stone event with a vast number of prizes on offer as our signature event of the season happens now in April at the Dorset Golf Resort. Places are available still for this 2-day event with a very good deal for all on the table. Final details for Dorset will be released in March for what is always a brilliant way to end a season. 

All finalised leaderboard/points totals will be confirmed this weekend on the website for the 9 events played this 224/25 season. Leaderboard standings will of course be used for totals in the RTTS based on 6 events played format.

Committee members are also working hard currently with setting up next seasons schedule with dates and courses again carefully thought through for the group to experience good courses in the best conditions. The TBIS will also undergo a re-branding for next season as this highly thought of brand develops into its 5th Season.
