It’s Thursday morning as I write and we’re just over ten hours into Lockdown 2.0. Such a shame that you the members can’t use the club’s excellent facilities for the next four weeks but hopefully when we return the health of the nation will be in much better shape.
Not surprisingly, it was a full start sheet yesterday in the autumn sunshine as many of the members tried to squeeze in their last rounds while they could.
I will keep in touch over the break with my weekly missives. I hope that during this time you all stay safe and well. One bit of good news though on the golf front is that the Masters starts next Thursday 😀⛳
Thursday Stableford
The inaugural Thursday 9 hole stableford for men and ladies took place last week. Yet again the weather was shocking so unfortunately the ladies comp was cancelled. Some of the men battled on and it was Brian Greenbank who ended up being the inner with 19 points. Martin Oldfield was beaten into second place on countback. Tom Sloan (who wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t mention him 😉) finished in third place with 18 points.
Seniors 9 Hole Stableford
First of all, a big thank you must go to Chris Adams and Ian Hunt for all their hard work pulling together working handicaps for this first competition at Hale GC using the new World Handicap Scheme (WHS).
It was an excellent turnout on Wednesday with 42 seniors taking part. Roger Mattocks finished on top with an excellent score of 22 points. Second place went to Bob Cooke with 20 points and Martin Oldfield was third also with 20 points.
