HLSGC HOUGHTON FEAST OPEN

ELLIOTT WESTLAND HOUGHTON FEAST OPEN

An excellent day with a completely full field of 148 players. Including 8 members of the Gurkha regiment who were very welcome visitors.

Many thanks to the following who contributed greatly to the day.

To our chef, Dave Stockton and his staff, to Judith and Katy behind the bar, to Wayne and the Greens staff who continue to provide us with a course to be proud of even during a very wet spell.

In terms of competition organisation thanks must go to our starters, Ian Baxter, Jack Ellison, Norman Baxter, and John Walvin.  Also to the reception desk staff who put in a very long day, Joan Brown, Pauline Baxter and Chris Bryson.

The competition team of Ian Cassap and Bernie Munroe with the new electronic results system which worked a treat.

Finally thanks to our long term sponsors, Elliott Westland Insurance brokers who sponsored the competition and to Ray Garden who presented the prizes on behalf of the company (and who won 2nd prize in the competition).

Over the course of the day there was a very nice buzz about the place so many thanks to all the competitors who contributed and congratulations to all prize winners.

The competition sees the end of my competition tenure and Vice Captain Ian Baxter will be taking charge of competitions for the next 12 months. Many thanks to all competitors and volunteers during this time.
