Regrettably, the Society’s Golfing team reportedly put up a sorry showing in the Wolverhampton Professions Golf Day. Vice President and Golf Team member Guy Birkett takes up the story:-
“The event took place on the 17th May at Enville Golf club. 9 professions in total were represented. I use the word “profession” loosely given that both Estate Agents and Bankers were represented this year. A few professionals with too much time on their hands played golf in the morning. Frank Calleia flew the flag for the solicitors and won the morning competition.
The main event was played in the afternoon. The solicitors were represented by a hand picked team of myself, Richard Alderson, Phil Cowell, Gareth Ruddock, Frank Calleia and David Robinson. We started poorly and it went down hill from there. David and Frank put on the best show but it was too little too late and we finished 8th out of 9 with only the Architects doing worse than us. The Accountants retained the trophy having won it last year. Given that we have our Solicitors /Accountants golf challenge on the 16th September at Oswestry (invitations will be issued shortly) I`m looking for all golfing solicitors to forget about fee-earning for the next 3 months and get out on the course practising between now and then!”
