The 5th Howard Jennings CRY Memorial Trophy Golf Tournament 

With 108 golfers, this year’s memorial trophy was assured to be a hectic day. As it happened the weather also put us well and truly to the test. We raised £3,000 through golf fees, raffle, sponsorship and a silent auction, so it was well worth it!!

The forecast was for wet and windy weather and for once was completely accurate, however, I am not sure it was meant to be quite so wet and windy!

The support from the golfers and volunteers was amazing and I was convinced that they would not have turned up had it not been for such a good cause.

The winner of the trophy this year was Colin Jackman who has supported the event since day its commencement in 1997. Colin used to play golf with Howard.

Runner up was Kevin Masters who has also played since 1997. Third was Mike Lancaster who was part of the Computacenter team.

Harry Hughes won the Nearest the Pin trophy and Peter Birch won the Longest Drive trophy. Hemel Trophies and Jewellers donated these two trophies.

Pat Mumford who had to retire from last year’s tournament due to injury won the Ladies Trophy. This year there were 5 lady contestants.

The booby trophy was won by Peter Ashley who was delighted to receive it!

Thanks should be given to all who continue to support the event. These include Little Hay Golf Complex and manager Chris Gordon; Atlas Copco, Howard’s employer, who put in a team of 20 players this year; Lloyds TSB who donated £500. The Royal Bank of Scotland for donating golf balls and umbrellas. Not forgetting, of course, all the stalwarts who got very wet and very cold on the day both playing in the tournament and serving coffee and biscuits at the 9^th hole.

The 2002 event will be taking place on Sunday 1^st September at Little Hay Golf Complex in Hertfordshire. Anyone interested in playing or supporting the event should contact Keeley Ashley  keeley@silentwhistle.co.uk.
