The day after posting a disappointing score in the 2011 Coota Open, the promising junior teamed with Judy Crick to win one of the most symbolic mixed trophies on the local calendar the Bassingthwaighte Cup.

In all due respect to his partner Judy Crick, Trinder was the star of the show, featuring on the card no less than 14 times, his contribution accounting for 38 of the 50 points they accumulated on the day.

Among his efforts were four-point birdies on the third and 10th, while he also birdied the par-5 17th.

When Crick was able to chime in she did so

brilliantly with three pointers on the fourth, fifth, sixth and 11th boosting the team’s score which was made up of 25 points on each nine.

And while Trinder’s score on the four holes Crick’s points were taken wasn’t listed on the card, it is believed the 10-marker finished with a one-under 70.

Gerry Bassingthwaighte maintained his excellent for from the previous day, teaming with Annie MacMaster to finish as runners-up on 47 points.

Bassingthwaighte dominated the front nine, with seven of his scores taken including a four-pointer on the fourth, however the roles were reversed out the back with MacMaster on the card eight times, five of which were three-point returns.

Playing in the same group as Bassingthwaighte and MacMaster, Bob and Marcell Gay came in third with 46 points and could have finished higher if not for a one-pointer on the third and a wipe (no points) on the 17th.

Capping an excellent weekend on the local course, 28 players contested the Bassingthwaighte Cup, which was held in conjunction with the Walter and Eliza Hall Charity Day, while a social group of 20 from Canberra hit the fairways earlier in the

morning.

Crick is a former winner of the cup, having

partnered Tom Spain in 2004, while Trinder’s name will go onto the trophy for the first, but more than likely not the last time.
