[Victoria Golf Society] October - Formby Hall GC - Alan Bleeze Memorial Trophy

[VGS]

A lovely afternoon for the 16 members that took part in the Alan Bleeze Memorial Trophy event at Formby Hall Golf Club, and great to see Val Snape in attendance, as one of our very longstanding members, but also holing a monster putt on the 14^th.  Captain Fred put up a challenge of the best gross score over the par 3s, with Kevin Allars and Paul Stanson coming close on 14 points, but beaten into the long grass by Julian McInerney on a fantastic 13 points.  As to the main competition, Tom Kellett and Julian McInerney both returned 33 points, ahead of 3^rd place Peter T Watson on 29 points, but Tom’s back 9 was better than Julian’s, so he took the honours and will be treated accordingly by the handicapper (who, if he had heard Tom’s joke at the presentation, would have docked him another shot!).  Paul Stanson won nearest the pin on the 6^th and Priscilla Minehan the longest drive on the 14^th (...and was she pleased: oh yes!).  Alan’s widow, Jackie, joined us for dinner, and handed out the prizes, which was a lovely touch in memory of somebody we all respected enormously.
