Jeff Hindle Memorial Cup @ Houldsworth GC, Thursday 29th August 2024

Jeff Hindle Memorial Cup @ Houldsworth GC, Thursday 29th August 2024

 

The Portland Golf Society made a well overdue return to Houldsworth Golf Club where two of our members Christine Waterfield and Betty Fallows run the place as Treasurer and Secretary. Due to an injury Christine wasn’t able to play but Betty joined us, getting the short straw of sharing a buggy with Dave McGovern may have tempered her enjoyment. 
There  were 27 members registered for this event and the course was in fine condition and I think we all enjoyed the day.  The results show what a close result we had and more of the winner later.
There are 5 par 3’s at Houldsworth so more opportunities for nearest the pin prizes and cash from the 2’s comp. However due to the difficulty of some holes only 3 prizes were claimed on Nearest the Pin and only one 2 scored, well done Jay Chambers for the 2.

The winner shown below with Captain Chris Murphy is Treasurer Bill Harris, this win is particularly appropriate as Jeff Hindle was a colleague and great friend of Bill. 
Next event Portland Autumn Cup at Northenden Friday 27th September, this is the last individual comp before we move to the pairs comp in October.
