The new online booking procedure which was implemented from the 1st October for bringing guests seems to working well so far. The three paragraphs below provide a reminder and potentially some new information.
Please note that your HGC Clubcard account is NOT automatically debited for Guest bookings. Your booking will only be confirmed when you enter the names of all of your guests and pay the requisite green fee by credit or debit card.
If you subsequently need to cancel or move your tee-time(s), please contact the Professional who will be able to assist. If you cancel your own booking we will not be able to refund your card directly and may credit your club card account instead.
Anyone wishing to play 18 holes must make separate bookings for the front and back 9 holes allowing the appropriate time to complete the first 9.
Men’s Texas Scramble
Saturday’s new members Texas Scramble was played in lovely conditions and the scoring was excellent. The winners with a nett 54 (16 under par!) were Chris Hinton, Neil Thompson, Phil Hickson & Andy Gregory. In case you couldn’t tell the winning prizes were Hale GC crested beanies!
Second spot and only one shot adrift went to the gentleman captain Ben Fallows, Jonny Grant, Rob Goodall & Bill Dixon.
Ladies Competitions
Congrats to Rachel McDowell for winning the recent 18 hole stableford competition with 36 points. Jan Ravenscroft was second with 35 points and Sally Budd third with 33 points.
In the front nine hole stableford, Min Fishwick was the winner with 19 points. Jane Wilkinson finished second with 17 points beating Vicki Wells on countback.
Ferrets on Tour
The Ferrets have also been golfing overseas recently and they were in Palma, Majorca. Congrats to the winner of their competition, John Webb who had two rounds of 36 points.
As Mike Thompson remarked this was a wonderful result, particularly remembering John was seriously ill and only walking with a frame not so very long ago. Inspiration for us all. Jim Nicholson was the runner up.
