KNOT T END GOLF CLUB FRIDAY2023 APRIL 14th 

15 members of the Victoria Golf Society managed to find their way Knott End GC (some more easily than others) on a dull afternoon, and after a wet week in this part of the country.   

The course was somewhat of a challenge, with thick rough if you left some fairways, early season greens and a few of us being confused as to where to hit the ball on some parts of the course. Having said that, we didn't get rained on, the weather slowly improved and we had fabulous views across to Barrow and the Lake District as the evening weather improved.  

Having said all that some golfers managed to beat the conditions, notably John Wilson with an impressive 43 points to win the magnificent Douglas Trophy for the THIRD time.  Yes his name will be on it 3 times.  Well done John. Mark Gabott was a battling second with 35 pts and Barrie Minero played well to make 34 points.  

The other prizes were as follows:

Longest Drive - Chris Edwards (in the absence of Dean)

NTP on the ?? hole Kevin O'Donnell

NTP in 2 on the 16th Peter Watson

Much to the chagrin of the treasurer 3 TWO's were recorded so he had to release 3 sleeves of balls from his stache, to Steve Neale, Captain Nigel Williams and Kevin O'Donnell.

I hope everyone had decent journeys home across the ever winding roads of this part of very rural Lancashire.  Onward to the Hesketh GC on May 19th.
