Monday November 8th FORMBY MENS - CAPTAINS TROPHY
On a pleasant day, for November, 24 members of the Victoria Society enjoyed a splendid day at the magnificent links of Formby Mens Golf Course. This is surely one of the best courses in the area, if not the country, and was generally in superb condition apart from one temporary green on the 17th, where the greenkeepers art of bunker building and revetting in particular were on display.
Our thanks go to Captain Ian Robinson and a couple of his member mates who facilitated such an excellent day, with a lovely meal to follow, at such a good rate of currency. We will be forever grateful.
This includes our prize winners, in the quest for the Captains Trophy. In third place after a card countback was Denise McInernie with 36pts, an excellent return after a sticky start with successive blobs. Second with a wonderful 38 pts was Paul Stanson. Hard luck Paul, you were beaten to the Captain's prize by Chris Edwards, who amassed 40 points. Is he in control of handicaps as well? I believe he is...
The minor prizes were won by Dean Straker for the longest drive, and Pete Watson for nearest the pin, about 3 feet and he bagged a 2 as well.
Over the course of the year it has been great to get back to something approaching normality, and socialising in our own inimitable way. The Captains charity has had a good year with money for blobs and biscuits, the delicious biscuits made next years Captain Sue O'Donnell.
Long may it all continue.... we just need a treasurer to fill the big boots left by Peter Watson. Any takers....please..............
