Wauchope Men's Veteran Golf Club

The trip to Wingham was successful despite the low numbers attending from our side. Only thirteen made the trip. We were accommodated for our cart needs and welcomed with tea and coffee. The Roast lunch was enjoyed by all players when we came in and was followed by the presentation. Our highest scorer was Alan Brooke with 33 points, Alan was rewarded with a 6 pack of beer for his efforts, during the raffle draw other players were rewarded with 6 packs and balls.

 It is suggested by Wingham Vets, that in future,  we play for a trophy called the Neil Grant Memorial Shield, because of the determination of Neil in organising the Wingham trips, and as memorial to him that he started organising this trip when he fell ill.  The format of the trophy will be a little different, a number of Wingham players and Wauchope players will be drawn raffle style and the Stableford points added on each side to determine the winners.

The next visiting event on the calendar is a visit by Wauchope Men’s Vets to Harrington Waters to contest the Harri-Hope Shield. It is on Friday 18^th July  and is a Single Stableford. I am waiting on more info from Harrington, but will put a preliminary sheet out on Tuesday 17/6.

Wingham vets will visit Wauchope on Tuesday 22^nd July, they indicate it is always one of their more popular visiting events.
