The Staloton Trophy

14th October 2005.

The 86th meeting of TIGS, and the seventh and last of our 17th season, was held at Shifnal Golf Club on Friday 14th October 2005 . The skies were overcast for most of the day and there was a cool breeze, but we stayed dry on a typically pleasant Autumn day.  

25 members and 13 guests found the course in reasonable condition. Shifnal is not a long golf course, but punishes the wayward shot. The greens were not fast, but consistent and true. All in all, “a good society course”.  

The winner of The Staloton Trophy with 39 points was your Secretary, Ashley Heath. Simon Leary was second with 37 points, who had a better back nine than third placed Michael Heath. Fourth place was secured by Gary Hardy with 33 points. Gary had a better back nine than George Hogan (fifth) who had a better back nine than Steve Wyatt.  

Ashley has his handicap reduced from 15 to 12. Simon’s handicap is reduced from 12 to 10.  

Winning visitor was George Hogan’s guest Richard Friebe with 37 points. Gary Hardy’s guest, Jason Smith, came 2nd with 32 points. Richard’s handicap is reduced from 15 to 12, Jason’s from 18 to 16.  

The yellow ball prize went to Messrs Hardy, Smith, Nelson and Robson with 33 points.  

Nearest the pin prizes were won by George Hogan (7th hole) and John Holcroft (17th hole). The longest drive competition was won by Gary Hardy on the 14th hole.  

The FlorGres Trophy for the best aggregate of 3 rounds within the season was presented to Simon Leary with 104 points. Simon’s handicap enjoys a further reduction from 10 to 8! (Other leading scorers : Michael Heath (103), Mick Boulton (100), Gary Hardy (100)
