[Victoria Golf Society] Spring Trophy - Walton Hall GC

[VGS]

Spring is here and the sun was shining strong as we enjoyed the VGS trip to Walton Hall Golf Club on 10^th April.  Our Spring Challenge Trophy event was certainly enjoyed by all 15 golfers, with scores being on the low side around a very well manicured, tricky, parkland course.  Greens were slower than we were generally used too, but consistent and in a good state.  As to value for money it was terrific, and finished off by a lovely homemade chicken pie and apple crumble (not together, of course).  I think we’ll be back next year!  Charles Shepherd, free from the pressure of being Captain, carded a very good 35 points, three clear of his nearest challenger, Peter T Watson (32 points), and with Evan Bale third on 29 points.  Longest drive (an absolute wopping bendy monster) on the 13^th was won by Evan Bale, with the late arriving Steve Neale sneaking the nearest the pin by ½” on the tricky 4^th.  Captain Fred Valentine intended to donate a special prize to the person that got the most birdies, but nobody got any (oops), so the prize went to Peter T Watson, who carded the most pars (6 in total).  Great to also see Bobby Neale enjoy a round with his brother, and very nearly beat him as well.
