The Cecrisa Trophy

July 2004.  

The 76th meeting of TIGS was held at Ashridge G.C. on Friday July 23rd in near perfect golfing weather with temperatures in the mid 70’s and a little wind.

Our lowest turnout of the season with 20 members and 5 guests was disappointing considering the good weather and the excellence of the course – it was in super condition.  

A new member, Alan Pullen from Palace Chemicals Ltd, a 14 handicapper from Upavon Golf Club in Wiltshire won on his first TIGS appearance with 38pts, beating both Ashley Heath and Chris Harris with a better back nine. Our handicap secretary promptly reduced Alan and Ashley’s handicaps to 11. Fourth came Michael Heath with 36 pts, also beating Greg Hammond with a better back nine.  

Alan became TIGS’s 44th different winner in 76 events.  

Winning visitor was Dave Nelson’s guest Graham Townsend with 38pts beating Stephen Haigh’s guest Darren Emmerson, also with a better back nine.  

Fred Gregg, Geoff Snape & Steve Harrison with 37pts, won yellow ball team prize.  

Nearest the pin prizes went to Mick Boulton and Geoff Snape and longest drive to Steve McCall’s guest Gerry Farrell.  

My thanks must go to Geoff Snape for obtaining the prizes, Gary Hardy for checking the cards and Dave Nelson for handling the finances on the day.  

The next meeting is on Friday August 20th at The Oxfordshire Golf Club. This is a superb course with an outstanding reputation, as we all discovered last year.
