Just remembered the best (worst) prize I didn't win!
But for a lost ball on 16, I would have won another forum's overall prize at St Anne's Old - with 42 points. Prize was a ginormous (18"+ diameter) crystal bowl that would dominant every room. As it was, I won a tasteful crystal image of a golfer for winning Div 1.
Phew!

My partner and I won a pairs combined stroke competition last year, the trophy wasn't allowed home with us and had to go off and get repaired as some of the plaques had fallen off....still haven't seen it with our names on it, we were given a bottle of champagne each......I don't drink.

My missus and I played in a two round mixed competition held at our club for which the prize is a targe -
We shot 80 gross - 60 net in the first round played over the Ashludie course (which is short but at times tricky) - we were at least five shots ahead of the nearest pair - the second round is always on the Medal a couple of weeks later and we shot 105 - net 85 - and lost by a shot - My approach shot at 18 ended up in the greenside bunker and the wife left it in there - I was annoyed until I saw what a targe was - ugliest trophy I'd ever seen

I played a works society day last year put on by a big supplier of ours and had a screamer of a round. Think I was something like +6 gross for 40 odd points. Just one of them days where it felt easy.
Anyways we all get back into the clubhouse after and all the cards were checked and I had the best score by a distance apart from two cards. One was 97 points and the other 102 points
two idiots playing clearly didn't know how to mark stableford scores so just made up their own system.
The organiser then decided to make it fair to do a raffle for all the prizes instead of off the scores as these two would feel left out. There were some cracking prizes ipads, digital cameras, android tablet devices and fourball vouchers etc. Names were drawn out and you got to go up to the table and pick your prize.
Anyway 20 odd names later, last but not least my name got drawn out. I walks up to the table and the last prize left was........
A badminton racquet. Lovely jubbly. Some throbber who cant mark a card walks out with an ipad and I get a badminton racquet :rofl:

Cheese fondue set and more importantly a recipe book.
Must have been when they were popular over 20 years ago. Never took it out of the box, and threw it away last week when clearing out the kitchen. At least we used the toasted sandwich maker a couple of times before ditching it.

I always remember my 13/14 year old daughter spouting off that she must be the only teenager in England that has 5 crystal rose/fruit bowls.
She kept them boxed and they came in handy for wedding presents later in life though
