Looking for F. Garner ………. winner of the 1925 Winter Bogey ……. at Chorlton Golf Club

Now, here is a little bit of history which has yet to come out of the shadows.

Yesterday my old friend David Harrop took possession of a box of old silverware, and there at the bottom was this.

It is silver plated and offers up a story.

That said the story is stubbornly unwilling to be written.

A preliminary search has drawn a blank on F. Garner, although I have begun to make enquiries at the Golf Club.

And when things settle I will try the local newspaper collections at the Ref to see if there is a reference to the competition, and F. Garner, and perhaps we will strike lucky with a photograph.

Until then, we just have the prize, leaving me to thank David for sharing it with us.

Location; Chorlton-cum-Hardy
