Rumours
There are all sorts of whispers and rumours going around that golf might be able to start up again shortly. We at the club are not sure when that will be or what it will look like at this stage but it gives us a little optimism. Let’s hope when it does this great weather continues….. 🤞

This week’s instruction video is the second and final part of my in depth look at the grip. If you didn’t see the first one, it’s worth taking a look at that first by clicking here to visit my YouTube channel.
Pro-Am Cancelled
We have taken the decision to cancel this year’s Pro Am which was scheduled for Sat 11th July. All things being equal, it will take place again in the summer of 2021.
We have decided for various reasons that this would be the best course of action. Some of those reasons are as follows:
1. You, the members, have not been able to play the course much this year after a lousy winter and then Covid-19 and so it seems unfair to be asking for money from you to play the course on a Saturday in July.
2. If we are able to start competitions again, that Saturday might be a useful one for staging a club event to “help catch up”.
3. The clubhouse might still be closed.
4. Asking people to travel especially for the Pro Am from across Cheshire, does not seem appropriate in these times.
Photo
I love this photo from the cover of the April 1961 Golf Digest, which featured in their most recent publication. It’s an early high speed photo showing the compression of a golf ball by a wood. Those persimmon headed woods were hard work weren’t they? Thank goodness for modern day over sized titanium drivers which make the game so easy…. 😂
