The Llandudno Cup

Memories of Les lawrence : The creation of the Llandudno Cup

In 2007, Nigel Stewart of Richard Williams Limited a friend and customer asked me if  I would consider sponsoring a hole at North Wales Golf Club, under the flag of Castle Cement (Hanson Cement) I instantly I said yes and we initially took over the 18^th tee.

Hanson ( Castle Cement ) now sponsor the 16^th (the OL) and have offered to adopt it!

The NWGC tee sponsor vouchers enabled the company to invite 24 customers to play golf at North Wales Golf Club.

In early 2008 discussions held with Sika Limited had resulted in a golf competition between

our the companies.

The Llandudno Cup was born June 2008 with a 18 a side competition, there were initially 3 teams involved, Castle Cement, Sika Limited and Estimators on Line.

In 2008 and 2009 Sika took the honours.

In 2010 British Gypsum entered a team, that increased the competition to 4 participants and to my delight Hanson won its first star.

In 2011 Sika Limited  and Estimators on Line decided to withdraw from the event,  but Marshalls and Irwin Tools took their places, which is now our current format and In 2011 Irwin took the star

2012 saw Marshall’s victorious, but 2013, 2014 and 2015 Hanson claimed a further 3 stars

Vado Taps Limited who have replaced Irwin Tools for the 2016 Llandudno Cup

 The scoring system is as follows,

Each player played off ¾ handicap until 2016 where this changed to 9/10 handicaps and in the earlier days of the event, the contestants played off the white tees.

1 player form each team makes up a 4 ball, the results from each 4 ball is the player with the most points takes 4 for their team, 3 for second 2 for 3^rd and 1 for 4^th, this ensures every player contributes to the match.

There is a twist to this scoring method.

The Captain of each team picks a Joker from their team (of players) and if the chosen player wins their match he or she doubles their points, so a win would result in 8 points

BUT

If the chosen Joker is beaten in his or her 4 ball all 3 opponents get double points, an example would be

If Jon Wormleighton won against a chosen Joker he would get 8 points if the Joker came second he or she would get 3 points, but 3^rd place would now get 4 points and 4^th get 2 points.
