Prenton Park - Friday September 8th 2023

What a beautiful, excellently presented course to play in the middle of this scorching September heatwave..Prenton Park was as pretty as a picture and a lovely place to spend the afternoon, albeit a challenging time in the heat.  

Keeping concentration in the heat was a challenge, for me at least, but others managed very well, although the golfer here looks like he is about to fall over! 

Peter Hyde managed to head off the ladies challenge to win the September Bowl. 

PRIZES as follows:

Winner        Peter Hyde             37 pts

2nd              Nuala Robinson     36 pts

3rd               Sue O'Donnell       35 pts

Nearest the pin in 2 on the 18th Dean Straker

Longest drive John Wilson

And Peter Hyde cleaned up with nearest the pin on the 7th and also 2.  A good job he had the camper van for all the prizes.

We finished with a lovely meal served by the friendly staff in the comfy clubhouse.

Onward to October and a trip to Hurlston Hall for Captain Nigel's day out....

HESVIC TROPHY FRIDAY 4th August 2023

Treasurer Chris Edwards reported - sad news I'm afraid despite our gallant efforts we were not able to retain the trophy for a seventh year. We were narrowly beaten by a strong Hesketh Casuals side. I think it will make us more determined next year.  The score was 6.5 - 5.5 so hardly could have been closer, another 1/2 point and we would have retained the Trophy.

Onwards to 2024....

 VICTORIA GOLF SOCIETY 30th ANNIVERSARY DINNER
