Today we celebrated 100 years since Sir Henry Cotton won the club Championship at Aquarius Golf Club. It was on the 2nd June 1923. 38 members played in a mixed Texas scramble followed by the favourite Ham, Egg & Chips. Kim Brusadelli from Kent Golf presented some old photographs of the club alongside the Championship Cup and the Pilling Cup that Sir Henry Cotton won all those years ago.
