The President's Day was held at Prestatyn on Sunday 18th August.
The course was in excellent condition, and though windy, was testing but thoroughly enjoyed by all of the excellent field of 48 players.
The President Dale Milne provided welcoming refreshments at the halfway house.
After the golf we all tucked into a well-earned meal that was first rate.
There were 2 birdie 2s which I am sure would make the Treasurer very happy.
The eventual winner Darryl Sargeant from Prestatyn with 36 points.

The Herbert Moore Memorial Trophy Final
The Herbert Moore Memorial Trophy Final between Darren Edwards and Simon Williams (Pennant Park) and David Hughes and Kevin Leech ( Holywell) was held at Rhuddlan Golf Club on Saturday 12th October.
I am sure there must be a curse from the Golf Gods when the Association play at Rhuddlan as the heavens opened up not long after teeing off, however the weather did not deter the excellent competitive play by both sides. The eventual winners for the 2024 Herbert Moore Memorial Trophy were Darren Edwards and Simon Williams.

24 gallant golfers ventured out of North Wales to play South Cheshire Past Captains at Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club on Wednesday 26th June 24.
It was also the first time Mr Captain had swung a golf club in over 6 months and watching Glyn tee off on the Par 4 first, despite the dodgy knees it went straight down the middle of the fairway, Mr Captain is back.
We all enjoyed the course which was in excellent condition, the camaraderie between both sides was outstanding, and the meal after including wine was worth every penny.
The Captains of South Cheshire and Flintshire thanked both Match Secretaries John and Mike for organising a great day.
Unfortunately The Association lost the match by a hairs breath losing 6 and a half to 5 and a half
