Wahoo it’s Open Championship week and hit’s here in the north west! Hope it’s another great tournament and thank you to all of you who have entered the Pro Shop sweepstake. I’ll keep you posted on who’s won what as the week progresses.
Medal 6
Congrats to Rob Manley for recording a nett 68 on a challenging day weatherwise on Saturday. Second place went to Jez Allen with a nett 69. Martin Bramwell was third with a nett 71. Only two twos were recorded over the two days!
Adult Junior
Well we dodged the weather on Friday evening and thankfully everyone that played remained dry.
It ended up being another great win for Olly & Joe Mills so big congrats there…… a large handicap reduction has followed!!
Other great scores were recorded by Matthew Hodder, Ollie Grieves and the two Williams – Meadowcroft and Hutchinson.
William M leads the OoM with one event to go. This final competition will be taking place on Friday 8th Sept with tee times from 1710. Please let me know if you’d like to enter.

A Week in the Life of a Very Keen Junior Golfer
Thanks to John Book for keeping us posted on Ollie Grieves’ golf in the last week or so! Here’s his recent schedule along with some fab photos:
- Sunday 9th July – back to back golf lessons with Will at HGC.
- Monday 10th July – nine hole junior stableford at Hale, which Ollie won with 18 points.
- Friday 14th July – Adult Junior comp at Hale, which Ollie finished joint 3rd with 21 points.
- Sunday 16th July – Northern Junior Golf Tour nine hole comp at Barrow Golf Club, where Ollie finished 4th with a nett of 3 under par, only 2 shots off the winner. The photos below don’t give you the full picture as it was blowing a gale with the course on the exposed hillside overlooking Walney Island, and which Ollie couldn’t even keep his Hale Golf Club cap on!!! This was the last of four events which Ollie had entered, albeit late into the proceedings, but for which next year he is hoping to register early in more of the fourteen competitions, so that he can try and qualify to play in the finals competition. This is all great experience for Ollie, and anyone else thinking of getting involved in the Tour.
