[Victoria Golf Society] July Trophy - Frodsham Golf Club

[VGS]

Oh dear – it’s July, the summer!, VGS day and it’s raining.  In fact it rained all day, sadly, but we had a good day on a lush and tricky Frodsham course.  Scoring was certainly difficult: well, for everyone except our newest member playing off a 28 handicap (probably for the last time), Ian Robinson.  Ian had never played so well, and proceeded to score 33 points off the first 13 holes before quadruple blobbing his way to 35 points: no trophy, but a sleeve of balls and a trip to the stewards for Ian.  Lowlights were Paul Stanson leaving his putter on the putting green, Chris Edwards teeing off the wrong tee, and Kevin Allars and Alex Rugen just having pretty awful rounds.  To the winners then!  Peter T Watson came out on top with 29 points, and collected the beautiful trophy in three pieces (it got broken on the way to the course, so is now in need of some glass glue!), followed by Captain Charles Shepherd on 24 points and Chris Edwards on 23 points.  No 2’s, but the Peter Watsons cleaned up on the nearest (PTW) and longest (PSW).  Alex Rugen won the Captain’s prize of a special glass and some whisky to fill it, by getting very very close indeed to the 12^th flag with his 2^nd shot, but then missing the birdie.  A day finished off by roast chicken, apple crumble and lashings of custard.
