MEMORIAL TROPHY

Isle of Man Golf has announced a new competition. The Memorial Trophy is to remember the past presidents of the golf union and it will be sponsored by Julian and Sharon Sutton of Thornton Associates. 

The inaugural event will be held at King Edward Bay Golf Club on Saturday, September 14. This will be the first mixed competition, with the player with the best nett score winning the main trophy. 

The popular Ricky Jupp under-23s trophy will also be incorporated into the event. Ricky was a past president of Isle of Man Golf and was a strong supporter of junior golf. This event is moving from Comis Mount Murray to this new event. 

Also up for grabs will be the Stephen Keegan Trophy for the best gross for a senior male golfer.  

Stephen was instrumental in getting the senior team into the Northern Counties event and his wife Linda has kindly put up a trophy for this event. 

Tee times are available online and players need to pay your entry fee of £5 at time of entry by bank transfer.
