We have a nine hole stableford this Saturday which is open to gentlemen and lady members so if you haven’t already, why don’t you sign up for a game?
In this week’s newsletter, we cover the ladies results from last week, news of the 2022 HGC Pro-Am, terrific photos and more!
Ladies Texas Twist Competition
Fourteen hardy teams played in the Texas Twist Competition last Thursday. This is a very tricky format with the ‘twist’ being that you had to choose the worst drive on the two par three holes rather than the best drive.
The winners with a cracking score of six under par were Gill Kay, Vicky Chamberlain and Jo Egerton. Lynette Lodge, Diana Harris, and Terri Broadbent were one shot back with a score 31. Third place went to Louise Gerald, Rosemary Bowden and Gail Sampson with 33.

Hale GC Pro-Am 2022
This year’s event will be taking place on Saturday 9th July. Please let me know if you would like to play in the 11th staging of the competition in recent years. Please express whether you would prefer a morning or afternoon tee time.
The price is £225 if all three amateur players are members here at hale GC. If there is one or more amateur players from another club, the entry fee is £255.
Under the PGA regulations, the stroke allowance is 85% of your course handicap. However following this calculation, the maximum number of shots a gentleman can receive is 18 and 24 for ladies. For example, if Joe Bloggs has a handicap index of 21.2 then his course handicap from the blue tees is 24 but for the purposes of this event, he will only get one shot per hole.
Cheshire and North Wales PGA committee
On Monday at the AGM, I’m proud to say that I was elected to onto Cheshire and North Wales PGA committee. It seems that we will meet four times per year to discuss the competition schedule of the county, the welfare of our pros and assistants, finances etc. So I’m looking forward to helping out as best I can.
Rise and Shine
