Champion Golfer of the Year: 

GARETH REES

​

This tournament will forever be remembered as the “Lockdown TML” and the mere fact that it took place is a wonderful testament to the resilience of our Gentlemen Members.

 

We were meant to be playing at The European (across the Irish Sea in County Wicklow) but Covid put paid to that and an alternative venue had to be found at short notice. In terms of late replacements, Formby was the equivalent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer coming on in the 89th minute in Barcelona ’99 – a truly inspired choice.

 

The course was in mint condition and took everyone very pleasantly by surprise. The pine trees framed the course majestically and gave the course a cathedral-like feeling in places. To boot, we were treated like Lords by the entire staff. In fact, the whole experience was so good that more than one of our distinguished Gentlemen Members now consider it to be the best course that TML has visited.

 

We stayed up the road in Southport, at the Vincent Hotel, this being TML’s home-from-home in Southport. As for the Tournament itself, the first round saw Gaz assume a 3 point lead. Despite a spirited final-round charge by Bryn it wasn’t quite enough and Gaz sealed the deal, rubber-stamping his superiority with a simply superb birdie on the 36th hole.
