President's Cup 2020

​

A Covid-friendly pod of six alleged golfers congregated at Fulford Golf Club on Monday 20th September in the last days of the summer’s sunshine.

Keith Hayton, David Impey and Mike Sullivan made up the first 3-ball with Dennis Adamson, Tom Jackson and Steve Burton the second. As ever the golf was its usual mixed bag of great drives, duffed seconds, long puts sunk and tiddlers missed – all of which having to be deeply discussed in great detail in the 19th afterwards.

The ‘nearest the pin’ prize on the 5th was unclaimed as no player managed to get the ball on the green in one; the ‘longest drive’ on 15th modestly won by Steve!

Mike Sullivan metamorphosed into David Jesper when the golf was over, the former unable to stay for the meal, the latter standing in for President Kevin to present prizes [strange to appreciate we have a ‘working’ President these days].

New chef Christian served up an excellent Steak pie & chips followed by generous apple crumble and custard which all seemed to well enjoy.

David J then invited to present prizes and it was recalled it was he, at David Sweeney’s behest, had presented the exceeding grand trophy in 2011. Apparently David found it stored away and whilst un-engraved had a plaque indicating his father had won the cup  from the NE Railway Horticultural Society for his prize blooms in the 1940’s – an excellent example of up-cycling to its present usage.    

It was good to report all 6 golfers had in excess of 20 Stableford points.  Results:–
