In this missive, we have news of the ladies competitions from last week.

In junior news, Hector Neary won the Adult Junior competition on Friday and then on Sunday we hosted the Mid Cheshire Junior League (MCJL) for the very first time.

Ladies 18 hole Par & Back 9 Stableford

Well done to Diana Harris for winning last week’s Par competition with a great score of two up. Vanessa veitch was second with her score of one up.

In the nine hole comp, Jean Green was the winner with 19 points beating Emma Daynes via a card play off. Special mention to Sally-Anne Heaford for recording a great score in her first competition.

MCJL at HGC

Hale are part of the MCJL as of this year. We are in the Gleneagles league with Delamere Forest, Warrington, Bramhall & Styal golf clubs. The format is that each club hosts over the season and the team that finishes on top of the league then goes into knockout stages with the winners of the other leagues.

So on Sunday, 23 juniors played at Hale. The lowest handicapper was a plus 3 and the highest was 28 so the standard was good. Styal were the winners with their best three stableford scores from five on the day being 40, 38 and 35 for a total of 113. Warrington were second with 106 and Hale finished in fourth spot with 100. Dan Turkington, our junior captain, submitted a very creditable 36 points in tricky conditions. So it was a solid start for us considering it was our first outing. We go to Delamere on Saturday which will be a treat for our players.

Thanks to the volunteers who started, ball spotted and helped out on the day and made things run so smoothly. They were Peter Hindle, Phil Hickson, Phil Long, Bob Siddle, Pete Turkington and Ben Fallows.
