The Barry Ashton Memorial Trophy |
|
Single Stableford off 7/8 society handicap plus Yellow Ball team game |
|
Friday
8th July 2005. The 83rd
meeting of TIGS, and the fourth of our 17th season, was held at
Notts Golf Club on Friday 8th July. 26 members and 8 guests
enjoyed warm sunshine all afternoon with not even a hint of rain. Playing
conditions were perfect. Four days
prior to our visit, the course at Hollinwell had been used as a regional
qualifying venue for this year’s British Open championship. The course
was in “fabulous” condition, especially the slick and true greens.
This really was a great golf course in great condition. It was worthy of
note that when the Captain said that the course was superb, his comment
was followed by a round of applause just to enforce the feeling of those
present. This
meant, of course, that scores were generally low. Nevertheless, success
came to our winner Ken Smith scoring 32 points to win THE BARRIE ASHTON
MEMORIAL TROPHY. It is Ken’s first victory as a TIGS member and he
offered his thanks for the day, especially to his playing partners. 2nd
place was taken by Ron Austin with 31 points and a better back 3 than
Geoff Snape who came 3rd. We had three players tied on 30
points, Gary Hardy coming 4th with a better back 9 than 5th
placed Paul Turner who had a better back 6 than Mike Linwood. Ken has
his handicap reduced from 24 to 20. Ron’s handicap is reduced from 9 to
8. Winning
visitor was Alan Pullen’s guest Ray Moogan with 31 points and a better
back 6 than Paul Turner’s guest Tony Sitek who came 2nd.
Ray’s handicap is reduced from 18 to 15, Tony’s from 13 to 11. The yellow
ball prize went to Messrs Snape, Hughes, Edwards and Tresidder with 30
points. Nearest
the pin prizes were won by Mike Linwood (5th hole) and Paul
Turner (9th hole). The longest drive competition was won by
Brian Hughes on the 18th hole. Alan
Pullen was also presented with a deserved prize for his performance at the
previous meeting at Rye Hill. Due to a reading error by the Secretary, his
score had been incorrectly positioned. “Sorry Alan!”. The
Captain explained to those that were unaware, that Michael Heath had
recently been involved in a serious car accident but that he was now out
of hospital and recovering at home. Best wishes are conveyed to Michael
from everyone. The next
TIGS event is at Sand Moor Golf Club (
