We had a lovely afternoon at the secluded Didsbury GC, with the mature trees providing a good windbreak from the fresh summer breeze (haha). Well it was a pleasant afternoon, although it could have been warmer. At times it was hard to imagine we were only a couple of miles from the centre of Manchester. It really is a green oasis in the area.
Results:
Winner of June Trophy Gareth Ball 37 pts
2nd Chris Edwards 35pts cpo
3rd John Warham
Longest Drive Peter Watson, much to his delight.
Ladies LD Sue Fazackerly
NTP Gareth Ball
NTP2 Captain's prize Mark Field - a bottle of Jamieson's donated by Captain Nick.
A delighted Gareth with his booty!
Afterwards we were fed a curry and chocolate cake by the excellent staff at the club, and departed on roads quieter than when we arrived. Such is the traffic in Manchester these days.
Next event, July 5th Woolton GC. This is the last qualifying event for the HESVIC challenge in August. This will cost around £110 for 36 holes of golf, lunch and dinner at Formby Ladies, a real bargain these days! Thanks to John Wilson for arranging the scorecards, and Sue O'Donnell as ever for the 'biscuits' and everyone's contributions to the Captain Charity for blobs and biscuits.
