Here are pictures of two of our trophies.
The Lindley Mitchell Bowl, donated by former Blackford members, Harry Lindley and Leslie Mitchell, is played for annually against our old friends, Bruntsfield Allied Golf Club.
The most recent contest was in July 2019, a ‘home’ match for Bruntsfield Allied, held at Baberton Golf club where a Blackford team, led by Captain Matheson, was the worthy winner.
The Stevenson Attic Trophy was donated by our Past Captain and current Match Convenor, Colin Stevenson. As the name suggests, this trophy previously spent some considerable time in the loft at Colin’s home.
It is awarded to the winners of our newest annual match against The New Club but sadly not this year. The match was washed away by torrential rain in June 2019 and it has not been possible to find a suitable alternative date.
Both trophies currently reside in a trophy cabinet in the Sandy Watson Room at Bruntsfield Golfing Society. You may wish to take a look when you are there next.
