[Victoria Golf Society] 'Secret' Spring Pairs - Formby Ladies GC - March 2014

[VGS]

Formby Ladies Golf Club again hosted the first outing of the year: the Spring ‘Secret’ Pairs, and what a lovely day to play one of the special little links courses along the Liverpool-Formby-Southport coastline. 13 members, along with guest Robert Neale, enjoyed the well manicured golf course, as well as the gorgeous home-made steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding afterwards.  New captain, Charles Shepherd (31 points), discovered over a drink at the bar that he and his partner, James Kilduff (33 points), had come 3^rd with 64 points.  Peter S Watson (35 points) and Mark Starr (39 points) thought they were in with a shout, but came 2^nd to winners Kevin Allars (45 points) and Paul Stanson (31 points).  Kevin probably had the round of his life, with 26 of his points coming on the first 8 holes, and will no doubt now be hit hard by the handicap committee.  Along with Bob Whittle, Kevin also had a two.  Nearest the pin on the 5^th was Jon Wilson, and Paul Stanson hit a monsterous longest drive on the 10^th to claim a sleeve of balls, but then sadly took 6 more shots to get to the green and sink his putt for no points.  Plenty of banter in the bar and over dinner: proving again that VGS golf is great fun.
