Archie who could not make the prize giving picked up the most hotly contested trophy of 2022 today. The Leitfie Summer League has been won in the past by Alex Simpson and Hannah Robb both now PGA professionals. After a chat it looks like he will be upgrading to Rannaleroch in 2023 so will be aiming to get a WHS handicap and join in with the others on a Saturday. Looks like it’s going to get busy with another couple of possible upgrades and new members.
