DEAR News Of The Area,
WHAT a day it was.
The cool weather and the Gloucester Course as it always is – picture perfect.
There was a big field of players who came from near and far to attend the two-day Bruce “BJ” Fraser Memorial Trophy event.
[BJ was a] Gloucester local, fellow golfer and a dear friend who is sorely missed by all.
Not only was there a large field of players, but this gathering also turned into a reunion of old friends seeing one another after too long.
More friends arrived after the golf for the presentation – just to be there.
The atmosphere was jubilant; it was good to stand back and watch the many happy faces.
Denver and Richard Webb in their very special way both spoke of BJ with the deepest affection and reminded us how his absence is so noticeable, and all can feel the loss.
BJ Fraser loved this Gloucester golf course.
He spent hours and hours volunteering with maintenance and keeping it as good as it is, but most of all he loved playing here.
He would have been so proud and happy knowing this day was for him.
There were lots of prizes to win and delicious food was passed around to the hungry players and guests.
The two winners who will be the first names on BJ’s trophy are Joe Farrugia and Cheryl Goodrich.
Plans for next year are already in progress for a bigger and even better event.
BJ Fraser will never ever be forgotten.
