The 2023 Midland Section Golf Day took place at Branston Golf and Country Club.
15 teams entered and were greeted on arrival with some heavy rain and a very damp golf course.
Thankfully by the time the bacon rolls and coffee was consumed, the rain had eased and we where set for better golfing weather.
Despite the damp conditions there was some excellent scores recorded. Jeff Haywood from Eco Lab and Martin West from Briggs both finishing on 42 points each, only to be separated by a card coutback giving the overall win to Martin.
As tradition dictates the prize table is supported by the attending member companies. In all the years Pete Lawley (now organiser of the event) has attended this event, it was the largest collection of prizes he had ever seen.
Thanks go out to all the Companies who supported the Section and their outstanding generosity.
Thanks also to Harry Mason for their donation of beer and beer engine at the halfway house, at 5.2 % ABV it may have been a tactical ploy by the Harry Mason team though!
Provisional date for 2024 is Thursday 26th September.
Finally, thanks to Mick Pain and Charlie Gorham for the photos, prize table sorting and recovering all the cards at the end. Without them Pete Lawley would probably still be there!
