Grimsby Golf Club

Shaw / Brown
21 August 2026

Saxilby Golf Society made a return journey to Grimsby Golf Club for the Annual Shaw/Brown Trophy.
 
Twenty five players took to the tee for this prestigious Trophy first played for in 1991 and donated by founder Members Alf Shaw and Mike Brown. Mike unfortunately was missing through injury but Alf was once again defying his years to compete.
 
Showers were forecast and for the majority of the round this was the case. However the final holes were played in a torrential downpour and most were pleased to finish and retire to the comfort of the Clubhouse and the awaiting Grimsby Haddock and Chips.
 
One man who thrived in the conditions was Jon Sankey who came in with a great score of 38 points and 1st position.
 
Paul Lancaster achieved his first podium position to take runners up spot with 37 points while Secretary Keith Hardy took third with 36 points.
 
Nearest the pins went to Aiden Mahon with 2 and one each for Stuart Fieldson, Gary Benson, David Thorpe and Lancaster. David Thorpe got the only two ball. Team prize went to the quartet of Neil Houghton, Nick Tharratt,  Sankey and Lancaster.
 
The Charity bet went to Captain Steve Leachman the only member who successfully backed the winner.
 
After an excellent 2 course meal Graham Flint presided over the fines and the Captain handed over the prizes to the days successful players.
 
Many thanks to Croft Carpets and MD Simon Croft for sponsoring the day and supporting the Captains Charity Beaumond House Hospice Care.
 
September sees a long awaited return to Normanby Hall for the Secretary's Trophy this is on Friday 18th . Once again many thanks to Sue Lynes of the Catering Saint for sponsoring this event
