The Hesketh Golf Club - Friday 19th May 2023

Today was a lovely day to contest the Cochrane Carpet Care Trophy which, as Chris explained, goes back a long time and is an important part of the history of the Victoria Golf Society.  The Golf Course was in lovely condition, with firm fairways and greens, combined with a stiff westerly, making for a tricky days golf.  Nevertheless several golfers out of the 32 that played, achieved good Stableford scores.

The presentations were as follows:

1st with 39 points                    Evan Bale

2nd with 38 points                   Alison Hyde

3rd with 37 points on a cpo     Bryan Robinson

The ladies longest drive was by Val Sumner.

Men's longest drive was by Paul Yates

Nearest the pin in 2 and winner of the Captains Prize was Evan Bale, and NTP on the 16th was won by Dean Straker.

An overdue award was also made to Dave Gant as Golfer of the Year for 2021...

Afterwards, when everyone was in, we dined and enjoyed a lovely meal, in elegant surroundings, thanks a bundle to Pete Watson for organising a splendid occasion.  The blobs and biscuits collection raised over £70 for the Captains Charity.

A reminder for the Anniversary do at the Athenaeum Club in Liverpool on Friday 19th July...which promises to be an occasion not to be missed.....
