President’s Prize

Further afield, we have the US Open to look forward to this week at Winged Foot. Whilst back here at Hale, we have the men’s Medal Final on Saturday and hopefully a continuation of this great weather 🌞

We had a fantastic turnout for the President’s prize on Saturday with 40 pairs taking part. The winners were Gwynneth Bramwell and Paul Simpson who scored an excellent 39 points. Second place went to Caroline Perkin and Paul Taylor with 37 points.

Briggs Trophy

Congratulations go to Claire Makin for finishing second out of forty six entrants in the Briggs trophy which was played last week at Mere GC. This is one of the premier strokeplay competitions for ladies in Cheshire. She scored an excellent nett 74 having never played the course before.

Fungus

I was sent in several photos last week of this incredible fungus /mushroom growing short of the seventh green. The second photo it next to a scorecard for scale.
