The rearranged Ping mixed fourball betterball competition takes place this Sunday and at the time of writing, there are still slots available.
Clothing and Accessories
I am shortly going to be placing an Autumn / Winter clothing order with FootJoy. Some of the items will have the Hale GC crest on and some won’t.
Should you wish to add anything to my order, please click here to take a look at the Autumn / Winter 2023 FJ catalogue and let me know what you would like me to get for you. I can get it with or without the crest on.
I am also about to place an order with Patersons. They are a Scottish company who make great club crested accessories. I buy my caps, ball markers, towels, headcovers, ball markers, pitchmark repairers, beanies, water bottles, shoe bags etc from them.
Again if you’d like any larger items such as holdalls, shoe bags or travel covers in leather or leatherette and with or without the HGC crest on then please let me know and I can quote you a price and if acceptable, order the item(s) in for you. Please click here to visit the luggage section of their website.
Irrigation Project Review
On Tuesday evening, I attended the first of two presentations about the club’s proposed irrigation project. It was hosted very professionally and informatively by president John Gower-Jones, Chair of Greens Brian Greenbank, project manager Andrew Hay and club tresurer Glyn Isaac. If you didn’t make this one but can make the next one (which takes place on Mon 21st Aug at 19:30), I would thoroughly recommend doing so.
Gentleman Captain’s Day
Thank you to lady captain Jan Ravenscroft for the following words to describe the day.
The winner of the 18 hole Stableford comp was Sally Budd with 37 points and Louise Gerald was second with 35 and Kairen Seaton with 34. Caroline Massey won the 9- hole comp with 18 points and Sue Fallows 2nd with 17 points.
It was a super day despite very poor weather at the start and all the playing ladies very much enjoyed being treated to chocolate, Pimms and afternoon tea which was generously provided by the Captain Roger Laitt . Lovely to see so many past Lady Captains and guests too.
Junior Nine Hole Stableford
Well done to junior captain Matthew Hodder for winning Saturday’s junior comp with a cracking score of 22 points. Ollie Grieves was second with 18 points.
