“I’m also so proud & grateful for Ocean View Golf Pro Brian Morris, who is also the Bermuda PGA Tournament Chairman, for showing great initiative by organizing this event, locating a sponsor and making it a qualifying event for the Bermuda PGA. Brian is a self started who deserves credit for his efforts and attitude in the face of adversity. “

But we will be there in spirit. I am so pleased the younger generation are learning about Wilfred Fray who once held the course record of 64 at Port Royal for decades”
