Hendon Golf Club is making major improvements to ensure that everything is shipshape for its centenary in 2003.
The clubhouse is being refurbished and a £70,000 scheme to improve the irrigation system on the course is under way.
David Cooper, retiring after 14 years as general manager, said: "It's a project that will prove highly beneficial.
"Our present system has existed for about 30 years and there have been problems with leaking water."
Hendon's top trophy winners, Peter Edwards, Derek Murray and John Smith, collected their awards during the men's Christmas dinner last Wednesday.
Edwards is club champion, Murray took the captain's cup and prize, while Smith achieved a treble, winning the scratch gold medal, the scratch singles and the Bristow Challenge Cup.
The trophies were presented by club captain Graham Potter, who said the course record had been broken twice during the Peter Cooke tournament for scratch golfers.
The tournament is held in tribute to the memory of the former Hendon club captain and Middlesex county secretary.
Mark Payne (Hertfordshire) returned a 64 in the morning round, but England amateur international Ricky Blaxill went one better in the afternoon.
Both were presented with bronze copies of their scorecards.
