Glen Gorse

Secretary’s Trophy
13 September 2024

The Secretary's Trophy was at stake as Saxilby Golf Society made the long trip to Glen Gorse Golf Club in Leicester.
 
The Society welcomed Sue Lynes MD of the Catering Saint who not only sponsored the event but played.
 
In the 35 years of the Society Sue followed in the footsteps of her daughter in becoming only the second lady to play with the Society. Sue didn't disgrace herself scoring 33 points.
 
On a challenging parkland course but in the autumn sun there were many twists and turns only 3 points separated the top ten players.
 
It is always good to see a first time win on top of the podium and in this case Steve Leachman reached the summit to claim his first Society win on 35 points. Runners up spot went to the ever consistent Neil Houghton whose 34 points edged out Society Chairman Graham Flint on countback.
 
Jonathon Sankey, Andrew Doe, Harvey Benson ans Sue all scoring 33 points.
 
The nearest pins proved tricky with the claret going to Steve Leachman (2) and Andrew Doe.
 
Fines Master Flint was at his devious best before Captain John Brogan handed the prizes to the days successful golfers.
 
October will see the Societies Memorial Day and the John Armstrong Memorial Trophy will be awarded to the winner.
 
We are grateful to Cliff Bradley & Sons Funeral Directors who will once again be sponsoring the day. This is on Friday 11th October at Lincoln Golf Club.
