Oh man, what a day! Here’s a round up of what’s been happening at HGC over the last couple of weeks – a little something to take your mind off this grim weather for a few minutes!!
Bogey 4 (15 holes)
Congrats to Mark Williams for winning Bogey 4 with a good score of 2 up. Jack Wilcox 2was second losing out on a card play of and Ted Shaw was third with 1 up.
Choir (Sat 17/1/26)
A picture of the choir from 10 days ago. The concert went well supported by HGC members, friends, family of the choir as well as some volunteers. A great evening was had by all and the proceeds went to Macclesfield Samaritans. Well done to LC Vicky Chamberlain for organising the event.
Over 25s vs 25 & Unders
Would you like to represent your age group in a match between members of HGC? One team will be the ages 25 and under and the other team will be the over 25s.
It will be played over nine holes with tee times from 1300 – 1500 on Sunday 22nd March 2026. The format will be fourball betterball matchplay. It will be played from the yellow or red tees depending on which is more appropriate for each particular fourball. The ideal fourball would be one junior and a young adult member (aged 18-25) vs two members over the age of 25.
This is something new and a little different. It will provide all players the opportunity to get to know different generations in a fun & friendly matchplay format.
It will be open to players with & without handicaps and also to non members (if they are the parent / grandparent of a junior member). We will make sure that players skill levels are matched appropriately with the faster players teeing off earlier. If the event is oversubscribed, club members will take priority,
There will be an opportunity to grab an informal bite to eat after play with your playing partners, which should ensure a nice buzz to the clubhouse during the afternoon. Menu options will be sent out at a later date.
Please contact me if you’d like to play.
