THE GILBEY CUP is the only trophy that has been with the club continuously since the trophy’s introduction in 1921. London wine merchant W.A. Gilbey & Co. had become A.C. Johnston’s best customer and prior to season 1921, he was able to obtain from Gilbeys the prornise of a trophy. It has always been decided by stroke play. Initially, players were awarded points according to their position on a particular day, i.e. 3 for the winner of the day, then 2 and 1. Should there be a tie in points at the end of the season, a play-off would occur with players playing off their handicap at that time. Now it is best three rounds of four net.  The one every member strives for!
