The OMGS Northern Meeting enjoyed a fantastic turnout on Sunday 6 September, with a full complement of 36 golfers taking to the magnificent Formby Golf Club for a day of competitive golf, camaraderie and excellent conditions.
The event was expertly organised by Charles Hayward (5.78), who did a superb job of bringing together a full field and ensuring a highly successful day for all involved.
Morrell Challenge Bowl
The main competition for the Morrell Challenge Bowl, played as a Stableford Handicap competition, produced some very impressive scoring.
The winner was Richard Duerr (1.85), who recorded an outstanding 41 points to take the trophy.
