Lincoln Golf Club

Mike Scott Trophy
07 November 2025

Saxilby Golf Society concluded there 2025 season with the Annual Whiskey Stagger, once again the Society were indebted to Saxilby Small Businesses who sponsored the event.
 
Playing for the Mike Scott Memorial Trophy, Lincoln Golf Club was once again the venue. With the winter black tees in operation scoring was expecting to be high as so it proved.
 
It took a card countback to decide the winner with two Society stalwarts both scoring 41 points.
 
However it was Geoff Rippon with the better back nine to edge President Ernie Dyson for first place. John Brogan completed a good season taking the final podium position with 40 points.
 
On such a day many prizes were on offer everyone was a winner even if some mystery prizes were of a joke variety. 
 
With six nearest the pins on offer the claret  went to Rippon [2] Lee Hayward, Dave Mayo, Martyn Lynes and Clive Dixon. Not surprisingly on the short winter course there were six two balls going the way of Rippon, Mayo, Captain Steve Leachman, Alan Maddison, Martyn Lynes and Jim Welch.
 
The players retired to the Anglers for a buffet and the prize giving. Once again many thanks to Wayne for looking after us in the 2025 season.
 
This was Captain Steve Leachman's first event and the Society will be raising money for his chosen Charity Beaumond House Hospice Care.
 
The Society would like to thank outgoing Captain Michael Billson who in his year helped raise £910 for his nominated charity The Bearded Fisherman.
 
Next year will be the 35th year of Saxilby Golf Society with the opening fixture schedule for April.
