[Victoria Golf Society] June Trophy - Penwortham GC

[VGS]

Terrific turnout for the Captain’s Day June Trophy at Captain Fred’s home course – Penwortham Golf Club.  19 golfers, including two other ‘locals’, for what proved to be a deceptively tricky parkland course on a lovely sunny day.  The locals cleaned the floor with us, with Tom Brown (36 points) 1^st, Tom Kellet (35 points) 2^nd and Tony Livesey (35 points) 4^th.  However, locals can’t win the VGS main prizes, so instead they, and we, enjoyed some good company and banter, and Tom Brown went away with a bottle of wine and a Captain’s memento.  Paul Stanson carded a terrific 35 points, so come in 3^rd overall on countback, and best of the VGS rest to win the trophy, .... and a bit more (see the photo)!  

Paul will also be playing off a lot less than 25 next time, having managed his 35 points with 4 blobs!!  Paul also won the Captains prize (best score on the par 3s) with 13 points, and the longest drive on the 14^th AND had a two (a great day for Paul, who had offered a lift to the course to two other members with the comment that he was sure that there would be room for ‘their’ trophy on the return journey – little did he know what was coming later).  Anyway, there were a few others present, and 2^nd overall, with 34 points, was Dave Gant, with John Wilson 3^rd on 32 points.  Ian Robinson won the nearest the pin on the 12^th, and 2s were achieved by Tom Brown, Stuart Sinclair (good to see him back with VGS), Paul Stanson and Tom Kellet.  Several other good scores added to the ‘Race for the Hesvik’, and all rounded off by a sumptuous roast beef dinner, and crumble and custard to follow.  A Yummy meal, a good day, and thanks especially to Captain Fred for hosting the event and feeding up Bacon Butties on arrival.
