The Michael Heath Trophy

August 2004.  

The 77th meeting of TIGS was held at The Oxfordshire G.C. on Friday August 20th in challenging conditions with heavy rainstorms and gusting wind. What a contrast to last year’s 100 degrees temperatures.  

23 members and 11 guests competed for The Michael Heath Trophy with John MacLaughlin coming home the winner with 40pts; his second win of the season having won the first event at Royal Liverpool. Not surprisingly his handicap is reduced to 8. Second on 39pts was Chris Harris whose handicap is reduced to 14. Third was Simon Leary with 34pts, Fourth was Ron Austin on 33pts and Fifth Gary Moffat on 32pts, beating Stephen Haigh with a better back nine.  

Winning visitor was Paul Butcher’s guest John Holcroft with 37pts beating Steve McCall’s guest Chris Powell on 33pts.  

Nearest the pin prizes were won by Stephen Haigh and Gary Moffat. Stephen Haigh’s guest Andy Boyle won longest drive. No Yellow Ball scores were returned!  

Peter Austin’s hip replacement was reported to be a success and we look forward to seeing him back in action soon.  

As I was unable to attend due to my wife’s ill health my thanks must go to Ashley Heath, Geoff Snape, and Dave Nelson for running the day and Mick Boulton for standing in for our captain who was also absent. 

The next meeting is the closed invitation event – The Harvey Chew Memorial Trophy.  

The next open meeting is our last of the season on Friday October 15th at Moortown G.C., Leeds .
