Golf Day at Bolton GolfClub
Our 10th annual golf day was a great success,
thanks in part to a most beautiful cloudless day, and thanks to Brian Boocock's
excellent management. Everything about the day was first class, the course was
immaculate and the members and staff most hospitable.
The golf was pretty impressive too and very well
supported by Bolton member's themselves, entering four teams! Obviously intent
on winning the trophy!
In fact Geoffrey Proffitt's team came third with 77
points beaten only by a better back nine by John Bell's team (of three!) which
was very good. Brian Boocock's team might have been 3rd but for the SFC penalty
of one shot! The winner, however, way out in front was the Brooklands player's
team of Brad King, Lee Ible, Russell Anderson and Mike Renison with a score of
81!
There were some particularly good individual scores on the day as well but
being a team day we'll save those for another time! Just to say they were all
below 80!!
The longest drive went to Mike Renison who reduced
the 421 yard 12th hole to no more than a drive and a lob-wedge!! (might even
have been a putt!!). Nearest the pin was won by Charles Jesudason's team
member Richard Taylor-Carr but I have to tell you he missed the putt!! The only
two of the day going to Ken Wilcock at the 14th, new hips not holding him
back!
All in all a very enjoyable day which was a very
satisfying way to complete our 10 year association with Bolton GC who thro'
Brian have been the most marvellous hosts.
NB. For those wondering what the SFC penalty refers
to, it was insisted upon by one of our late member's who felt that Bolton
member's had an advantage playing on their own course! Always being the sporting
gentleman that he is, Brian remembered SFC's wish!
