STOKE Park Golf Club's men's team are national champions.
The five-man team captured the prestigious National Golf Club Challenge over the renowned Ailsa course at Trump TurnberryResort, to secure the coveted Lee Westwood Trophy. .
The Stoke Park team of Craig Kreeger, Phil Fretwell, Hany Abbas, Paul Trendell and captain Trevor Danks saw off the challenge of Bristol & Clifton, Puckrup Hall, Royal Club du Hainault, The Rayleigh, and Chesfield. 
Team captain Danks admitted that conditions weren't easy in Scotland.
“We squared up to the challenges of battling through blustery weather conditions and against a highly competitive field of the UK’s finest club golfers," he said. 
Stoke Park’s consistent and steady scoring from all five players was capped off with an exceptional individual round of level par by Paul Trendell, carrying the team to an eight-shot victory.
Success for the men follows the women at the Stoke Poges club who completed a fourth successive victory in the Bucks Shield.
Director of golf, Stuart Collier, said: “We are, naturally, delighted that our guys were able to win this trophy. It’s a great time to be a member of the club. The on-going improvements to the already outstanding Harry Colt course mean an improved experience for all golfers.”
Last winter, every bunker on the Colt course – the first nine holes of the historic 27-hole layout – underwent major renovation to both shape and size, as part of a seven-figure investment.
This winter there will be a similar overhaul of the Alison course – holes nine to 18 – as Stoke Park looks to bring the second nine into line with the aesthetic quality and playability the front nine.
