[Victoria Golf Society] Alan Bleeze memorial trophy

[VGS]

What a fantastic Autumn day for the Alan Bleeze Memorial Trophy event at Formby Hall Golf Club, and what an absolutely terrific score to win the trophy and consolidate his position as the best of the bunch for the year (so far!).  Captain Charles put up another great whisky-based prize for his latest challenge – 4 nominated holes (inc a double-score joker hole):best stableford.  14 golfers certainly enjoyed the course and the conditions, but nowhere like as much as Peter S Watson, who demolished the rest of the field by a clear 10 points to card 38 points and mean that he will be playing off single figures at the next event.  Alan’s widow, Jackie, would have been proud of the banter and the scoring, in memory of her husband, and our friend, Alan.  The minor prizes for the longest drive on the 7^th went to Evan Bale and nearest the pin on the 16^th to our guest Mike Baxingdale.  As to the main event, Peter was just miles ahead of the field (good on him!), with Kevin Allars 2^nd and Peter T Watson 3^rd.  There were a very creditably 4 two’s from Kevin Allars, Peter S Watson, Byron Williams and Mike Baxingdale, all rewarded by sleeves of balls, and the Captain’s whisky went to Kevin Allars for scoring 10 points on his nominated 4 holes, just pipping Peter S Watson to the prize.  A lovely meal followed, in the delightful presence of a wedding party just the other side of the restaurant!!, and we all then sloped off to our homes rather red faced from the sun (in October), and full of food and drink.
