Well done Mike. The Staff One team inspired by Gary’s roundus mirabilis won the team prize with 86 points. The “bits” were shared around with Clements
Dr Joshua from Portrush
propelling his ball 340 yards down the 14th. Such accurate figures were provided by Professor Ronan McGrath who was busy enjoying his own winning drive off the yellow tees. Arthur Jennings, University Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education, Professor Gavin Brown and Callum Hayes
(for the students)
carried off the nearest the pins awards. We are grateful again to Mike Harris, the Alumni Office and the early 2000s team for the donation of prizes. Their support adds a quality finishing touch to the day. Friendship
improves happiness and
abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief The success of this event appears to be the opportunity to resurrect or maintain
strong friendships forged at University and assisted by joining the golf club. The whole day provides a golfing challenge and a social gathering that finishes in the Club Room where so many have chatted and imbibed over the previous 120 plus years. Dinner was once again a culinary tour de force. A record number of 82 attended, enjoying the lamb main course and delightful Chilean Viognier and Pinot Noir. We were once again indebted to the

Their choice is indeed a wise one. Hoylake is a world class venue which provides the venue and backdrop to their season, and this annual gathering of like minded people who are still able to enjoy the course of their salad days. A long time past his own impressive
salad days, Cicero suffered the political machinations of Mark Antony following Julius Caesar’s assassination and paid with his life. Over 2000 years ago he was able to provide us with acute observations of the human psyche that resonate today. He even encapsulated that which is axiomatic to the success of this day as Hoylake is one of golf’s great gardens: If you have a garden and library you
have everything you need. This year we reconvene on Friday April
