The Autumn Classic 2024

The Cypriot Golf Society final event of the 2024 year, The Autumn Classic was played on 10th October 24 at Northwood Golf Golf Club. The generous sponsor of the day was Russell Kilikita.

Captain Steve Chrysostomou, thanked the sponsor and the 54 golfers (including 6 guests) for attending his last event of the year.

 

The conditions on the day were excellent for golf. Autumnal weather, partly cloudy, warm with  blue skies, and not too windy. Northwood Golf club is an old favourite with the society having played here several times over the past few years. The course was in immaculate condition, stunning fairways but the greens were slightly slow. Overall fantastic value for money and a course the society will definitely revisit.

 

Winner of the day, with a great score of 37 points, was Chris Penn. Chris has been struggling with form lately and was thrilled with the victory. Second place with 34 points, was the ever consistent, Tony Koureas, and Pako Karantonis was third. 

 

In addition to the regular prizes of the day, the final event also decides the Player Of The Year 2024, which is the best 6 out of 8 scores for the season. This was won by Sam Aristidou, with 201 points, beating Louis Leonida by 1 point.  

Starting the day, Sam was 3 points ahead of Louis. It was an extremely close match, with nerves and mistakes understandably being made by the 2 contenders, going right down to the last hole, and the last putt! Louis needed to make the last 4 foot putt to win on a countback, but alas for him lipped out!

Congratulations Sam!

 

Jacket and society tie was the dress code for the final event. After dinner, Captain Steve made his farewell speech, thanking the members for their support, thanking his sponsors for the year, congratulating all the winners, and summarising his experience as CGS 2024 Captain. He then proceeded with the customary fines for indiscretions, all the money raised going towards Steve’s chosen charity, Christoforos Charity Foundation, which helps save lives! . Steve was able to raise more than £6,000.00!  Steve was congratulated by the members for this fantastic achievement and for his excellent captaincy

 

The final mention by Steve went to the incoming Captain for 2025 Andy Michanicou, wishing him every success and an enjoyable year ahead.
