Blackpool Golf versus World Cup Football.

Tranquillity Lodge No. 6544.Which is very active lodge, and a member of the Blackpool Group of Lodges, recently held its annual open golf day at the Stanley Park Golf Club. The Lodge organisers had received a few cancellations due to the England / Slovenia fixture, but in spite of these disappointments the day was blessed with excellent Blackpool sunshine.  17 Golfers and Non-Golfers took part.

On finishing the course and arriving at the 19^th the golfers were met by Dave Boswell with his list of fines, these were received with good humour and set the tone for the start of the charity fund raising.  The Worshipful Master, Jeffrey Masters had donated some wonderful Raffle prizes, and along with Dave Boswell who had worked extremely hard to make this event a success raised a total of over £100-00p, which would be donated to the Special Baby Care Unit at the Victoria Hospital, Blackpool.

 To round off the day, Ian Jackson won the longest drive with an incredible, 250 yards, (will it ever be beaten?),  Ray Johnson, last years winner presented the trophy to John Tew of Emblem Lodge No.6727, the new 2010 winner.

 This is an annual event and is open to players of all standards, anyone interested in an excellent days golfing, set in beautiful surroundings and bathed in Blackpool sunshine, should contact Tranquility Lodge No. 6544.
