Ziggy Trophy Winner 2013

Dear Royal Automobile Club member, this week saw the prize ceremony of the 2013 Ziggy Trophy which was received by the winner from Biarritz, Dom Brown. Congratulations to Dom who in his speech thanked the other competitors for a very enjoyable week of good golf and great company. Past competitors get the chance to enter again with the reigning champion automatically invited back to defend their title. Next venue will be at 'The Home of Golf' St Andrews in April 2014.

Biarritz Golf Holiday 2013

Another fantastic trip to Biarritz. We were blessed with good weather all week, almost too hot on the first 3 days. The golf courses were in great condition as ever and the scores were superb, even on the magnificent but challenging Seignosse. There were 2 members who slowly pulled away from the pack with consistently high scores and despite Geoff Spriegel scoring an impressive 34 on the last day leaving a final total of 122, which is usually enough to win, the Champion for the week was Dom Brown who scored a record 136 points. A well deserved winner of The Ziggy Trophy, formal presentation of the trophy will take place later this month at The Royal Automobile Club, Epsom. The Ziggy Trophy will again be contested for at St Andrews in April 2014 where the winner has the chance to defend their title.
   Many thanks to all who travelled and took part this year. Will.
