2024 at St Andrews Beach: The Final Standings

St Andrews Beach put on another beautiful day for us this year, and we all got to experience the new clubhouse facilities. The 5 new Masters in James Gooley (47), Kenny Bingham (48), Andrew Parker (49), Dave Moylan (50) and Jimmy Shields (51) added to the numbers with enthusiasm and talent - with James Gooley having a field day in the awards! It was great to have SOB and Cam back again, along with Brett with his cigars and Fireballs.

Here are some of the highlights/lowlights from the weekend:​

• Tom Brownell and Pete Gaidzkar break through for a maiden win

• Tommy becoming a longest drive beast, and a golfing beast in general

• Portsea Dinner and The Spy who Loved Me movies on Chairmans's evening

• Peter Boucher meats were a step up from Cannings

• St Andrews Beach a great course once again - new clubhouse a hit.

• Hole 9 had more Birdies (4) than any other hole in PM history

• Poor old Stevie with two wooden spoons in a row

• George is on the rise!

• Alex back with the photos looking great

• A lot of outs, but some great ins.
