The tournament was again held at Preston Golf Club, Preston,
organised by Brother Charles Webb, and the winners of the Provincial Golf
Shield were again Longridge Circle (90pts).
They beat a composite team ‘The Rest of Province 10’ as no other Circle
could muster the required three players to form a team! The winners of the individual trophies were
(again) Bro. Andrew Robertson (26pts) of Preston South Circle who returned home
with the Oswald Goodier trophy; this is ‘fought’ over by members of the three
Preston Circles. The David Carr trophy,
for non-Preston players was won by Bro. Joe Carroll (34pts) of Longridge Circle. The three trophies were presented by
Provincial Vice President Bro. Robert Thompson. Bro. Joe also achieved “nearest the
pin” on 14 and Bro. Steve Hardacre, also of Longridge Circle, the “longest drive”
on 17 for which both just got a clap. A
further trophy, the Claret Jug, has still to be presented. It was won by James Fox (35pts), grandson of
Immediate Past Provincial President Bro. Terence Donnelly, for the best
non-Catenian score. This will be presented at a Chorley function/meeting as
soon as the trophy is returned by last year’s winner.
