Rita and Will as winners of last season's Par 3 competition, have nominated 'The Upper Room' as the beneficiary of any wayward shots on the 1st hole at Dukes Meadow.

Known as the 'Presidential Hollow', its attraction has found many Titans donating over the past years - sometimes more that the usual £1 if they enter its maw on the second or even third shot!

• The Upper Room is a front line charity, based in Shepherd’s Bush, West London.  It began as a simple soup kitchen in 1990 and it still attends to the immediate survival needs of its beneficiaries but it uses the provision of food as the first point of contact with the excluded and then gives them access to two internal employability projects (UR4Jobs & UR4Driving) and a broad range of onward referrals to other specialist organisations.
• The charity’s mission statement is ‘improving lives’.  All of its services are delivered for free and its two step strategy attends to the immediate, interim and long term life chances of the beneficiaries.

Spare a thought for recent Hall of Fame entrant James McIntyre whose struggles on the back nine are well illustrated here.

And finally the minor prizes winners were:

Long Drive (professionals) - Paul Tennent

Long drive (hackers) - Greg McErlean

NP - James McIntyre

NP2 - Alan Lee

Money - Andre McLaughlin

It was a great day at Pine Ridge today with two worthy champions crowned. Annabelle won the ladies competition and James McIntyre won the men's with 37points and picking up one million dollars. VP Alan Lee picked up second place to enhance his lead at the top of the money table.

And in other news Father Peter Doherty was having such a good day with his "tree wood" that after finding himself behind yet another tree on the 15th that he dropped to his knees and said a few prayers that he could chop this one out of trouble. His prayers were answered. well done Father D.
