Well it’s been a while since my last missive, purely because there’s really not been much golf and so not much to report on. We’re hoping to get the seniors’ Bradley 6, the ladies Thursday comp and the men’s Bogey 5 played this week… the latter at the third attempt!
Trackman Competitions
The Nearest the Pin competition has been really well supported and we’ll announce the winner in next week’s newsletter. We’ve also had a few enter the 9 hole competition over the Olympic Club in California. There are still a couple of days left to come in and have a go…..
Thank you to all who have entered so far and to Jan Ravenscroft who has brought lots of new recruits into the swing room for the first time during some of her recent lady captain’s challenges.
Look out for more news on further challenges in the following weeks.
Hold the Date!
We have secured a Ping demo day here at Hale GC from 10.00 – 14.00 on Friday 10/5/24. If you would like to book a spot, please send me an email or pop into the shop.
Quiz Night
Here’s a report of this event from the Social Team.
The first social event of 2024 was a quiz night. The evening saw over ninety club members in attendance, enjoying a light supper prepared by Peter and Victoria and served by Ben, Charlotte and the house team.
The quiz master for the evening was Phil who is the regular host of Quiz Night at the Greyhound in Ashley. Fifteen teams answered the questions on a range of topics including a photo round, music, popular comedians and many more. Spot prizes were awarded throughout the evening and after a hard fought battle the team of Clare and Guy Withey, Emma and Mark Danes and Clare and Al Makin were the victors beating Johnny’s Angels by 1 point.
Many thanks to all members who supported the event and helped make the evening a huge success.
GIR
Probably the most important stat in golf… how do you fare?
Standing Water
These photos are from last week. There was a huge puddle behind the 9th green and the greenstaff are hard at work pumping out the impromptu pond by the road on the 1st!
