Saxilby Golf Society ended there 2025 campaign with the Annual Memorial Day at Lincoln Golf Club.
 
In what was the 21st year playing for the John Armstrong Memorial Trophy the Society remembered the Members lost over the years.
Twenty eight Society members took to the first tee the highest Society turn out since Rufford Park in 2022. We were also pleased to welcome David Parson's representing  Cliff Bradley & Sons who once again kindly sponsored the memorial Day.
 
On a perfect October day for golf scoring was expected to be high and so it proved.
 
At the conclusion it was great to see John Brogan claim his first Society victory since President's Day in 2011. A super round of 42 points gave a much deserved and long awaited victory.
 
Another round of solid golf from  Neil Houghton with 41 points gave Neil the runners up berth.
 
You cant keep the oldest Society member down with our recently acclaimed nonagenarian [90 years] claiming 3rd place with 38 points. Overall  19 members scored over 30 points.
 
The days bottles of claret went to Geoff Rippon 2, Jon Sankey, Jim Welch, Clive Dixon and John Brogan, Houghton getting the only 2 ball of the day.
After being served fish &chips Graham Flint presided over the fines before Captain Michael Billson handed the prizes to the days successful golfers.
Once again a great season and many thanks to all our sponsors and Members who over the year have enabled the Society to raise nearly £1000 to the Captains Charity the Bearded Fisherman.
 
The final figure and presentation will be handed over at the AGM on Sunday 2nd November.
 
On Friday 7th November The Mike Scott Whiskey Stagger will take place at Lincoln Golf Club a fun event that will be once again be sponsored by Saxilby Small Businesses. This will be new Captain's Steve Leachman's event and the start of his chosen Charity.
