members. Here is the roundup of the fi rst stop, Oulton Hall
After a week of
temperatures above 30
degrees, golfers were
nervous about the
playing conditions as they
turned up at the prestigious
Oulton Hall Golf Club

temperature dropped for the
day and provided an excellent
opportunity for golfers to shoot
a high score.
ere were several prizes
to give out on the day. Rob
Downes, Head of Solution Sales
at 9 Group, was the man with
the muscles, his booming drive
on the 8th hole was enough to
take home the Longest Drive
Award. Head of Wholesale
at Glide, Dan Alvarez, had a
devilishly accurate shot on the
11th to earn him the Nearest the
Pin trophy.
e winning team of the
day was comprised of Kevin
Beswick, Atrium Telecom, Rob
Downes, 9 Group, Malcolm
Moore, Audio Productions and
Mark Lomas from Gamma.

the trophy. e trophy went to
society regular Rob Downes

congratulations to Rob!
I would like to thank all our
sponsors for supporting the
golf society in what has been a
di cult year. We truly believe
these events have grown in
value for a community which
would normally conduct
business face to face but for
the most part has been unable
to because of Coronavirus
restrictions. anks to Union
Street, Glide, Voice ex and
Luminet for supporting these
events, without you they
simply wouldn’t happen.
