Another newsletter chock-a-block full of results as we prepare for Finals Day on Sunday and of course the Ryder Cup at the end of the month.
Kahla trophy
Here’s another quick reminder about the Kahla trophy. I have put the details below in list form to hopefully make it easier to follow:
• It’s a 3pm shotgun start on Sunday 28th September
• It’s a pairs competition (greensomes) from the F9 red tees.
• Pairs must both be related but be of different generations. For example, father & son, grandmother & granddaughter, uncle & niece etc. The younger player does not need to be a child btw.
• At least one of the players must be a member here at HGC.
• At least one of the players must have a WHS handicap.
• To win the Kahla trophy, both players need to have a WHS handicap.
• If one of the players doesn’t have a WHS handicap, then they can win the other competition that we’re running alongside the Kahla trophy.
• This will be a fun afternoon with the opportunity to stay for a meal afterwards (and invite other family members and friends to join you afterwards if you wish).
• The food choices are
Roast chicken, sage & onion stuffing, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables & gravy £13.95
Cheeseburger, fries & coleslaw £9.95
Fruit crumble & custard £4.00
So if you’re up for it, please reply asap giving me the names of the players, which club they play at (if not Hale GC) and how many will be coming for dinner afterwards along with your food choices.

Well done Ollie Grieves & John Book for winning the OoM and becoming the first pair to win on two separate occasions in the long history of the event (15 years). Over the season, we had 46 different juniors play in one or more events over the course of the season. Harvey Walsh was second in the OoM and Charlie Blake finished in third place.
Motocaddy Umbrella Holder Extender
Many of you have enquired about something along these lines over the years and here it is – a Motocaddy umbrella holder extender. It effectively makes your brolly holder 155mm taller so I think it’s going to be a popular accessory. I have them in stock so please pop into the shop to get hold of yours.
