Presidents Salver at Chevin Golf Club
9 July
Chevin Golf Club hosted the Presidents Day on Monday 9th July 2018. 43 players took part on a sunny day with a light breeze. There were several good scores and perhaps the highlight of the day was a Hole in One on the 14th by last year’s winner Andrew Dale.
There was a plethora of 2’s the most significant being Peter Taylor on the 233 yard Par 4 6th. Other winners of a sleeve of Logo balls were David Poynton , Ron Clarke Frank McCabe, Peter McGrath and Alan Cunningham. Andrew Dale and Peter Taylor managed two sleeves. The Best Senior and best veteran prizes went to Roger Hanks of Mickleover with 35 points ( back 9) and Tom Hitchcock of Matlock 37 respectively.
4th Place went to Richard Burley with 39 points, just being edged out of 3rd place by his Mickleover Club colleague Graham Finney also on 39 points. Second place went to Paul Hambly of Bakewell with 40 points who went out in the first 3 ball and topped the leader board until the very last game when the eventual winner of the Presidents Salver Alan Cunningham of the host Club Chevin came in with 42 points.
David Poynton Captain of Chevin Golf Club welcomed all to his Club and expressed the hope that they had all enjoyed the day.
Society Captain Graham Naylor then presented Peter Wilson with his prize outstanding from Derbyshire’s win in the recent 4 Counties Competition.
