Norman Fergusson with Duffer's prize for 9 off the tee!

We were blessed with superb weather for the 17th occasion of our Golf Day held at The Wiltshire Golf and Country Club for the 5th consecutive year.

A wide selection of PCB individuals took part in this annual event. This is now the only PCB social event on the calendar and it was very satisfying to see a growing number of non golfing guests attend the celebration dinner in the evening.

We gathered at 11.30 for a buffet lunch with the first Tee off times commencing at 12.30. As usual the format was a pairs 4 ball better ball with a random draw of teams being held the day before.

David Jones and Bill Wilkie volunteered to run the sweepstake for players to select and wager on the possible winning pair. Photographer of the day, John Burgess was on hand to record the event and has many candid shots taken of the teams and players on the course.

We are particularly grateful to our sponsors who help towards the dinner and prizes. Lloyd Doyle again provided the main prizes and Peter Coakley was available to present the trophies to the winners.

In first place were David Jones and Alan Slade with 48 points. Second place were Graham Temple and Howard Brown with 43 points who just beat Nick Heesom and Angus Brunton on a count back.

Nearest the pin on the 9th was won by Robert Brown and nearest the pin on the 14th was won by John Caldwell. The longest drive on the 9th was by David Fitzgerald. Norman Fergusson was awarded the Duffer's prize for having the stamina to take 9 off the tee on one of the Wiltshire's more challenging holes.

The sponsors are an essential part of our day and I am particularly grateful to acknowledge the support provided by Lloyd Doyle, ACS, Atotech, Chestech, Electra, Eurotech, Electrochemicals, Invotec, Isola, Lamar, MPK Kemmer, Schloetter, Shane Consultants, Technic and Ventec Laminates.
