The weather has been kinder to us recently so we’ve managed to get lots of golf played in the last seven days or so – here’s a bit of a recap….
Men’s Centenary Trophy
Well done to Bill Dixon for winning Saturday’s comp with a fine score of 41 points. Danny Fox was the runner up with 39 points and Jez Allen third with 38 points.
Very noteable mentions go to Jack Wilcox, Rory Hobbs and Joe Bluer (forgive me if I’ve missed others) for great scores that unfortunately were not able to count in the prizes. This was because they hadn’t played the minimum requirements of 54 holes of competitive golf in qualiftying competitions in the last 12 months. I have little doubt that there names will be appearing near the top of the leaderboard again very soon.
Six twos were recorded on the day.
Lady Captan’s Charity Day
A great day was had by all and here’s our lady captain Jan Ravenscroft’s account of proceedings:
All the money from entrants into the 18 and 9 -hole stableford competitions went towards the Guide Dog fund raiser.
The winner of the 18 holes was Emma Daynes (36 points). Second place went to Louise Gerald (35 points) and third place was Gwynneth Bramwell (31 points)
The winner of the 9- hole was Pauline Keeling with 21 points. Second was Jane Nicholson (20 points) and third Sue Fallows (with 19 points)
In the evening, the ladies were treated to a most inspirational and engaging presentation by 3 guests from the Guide Dog Charity. Sara-Jane, Mary and Christine arrived with their beautiful canines Woodford, Chelsea and lively 13 – week old Labrador puppy, Caspar.
Their enthusiasm was so infectious. Heartfelt thanks to the many ladies who attended ‘Tea’ and generously supported the raffle.
Thanks also to the many members who have so kindly made personal donations to the cause. In total for the day we raised just over £800 – amazing!
Seniors Stableford 5
With an excellent 22 points, John Johnston recorded his second first place of the Summer to win Seniors Stableford 5. A tie on 21 points meant a card play-off was necessary, with Graham Jones taking second spot and John Kennedy being pushed into third spot.
Wilmslow Ladies Summer Open
Thanks to Jo Egerton for this write up and photo following some great performances from some of our lady members.
This week saw a number of women play at The Wilmslow in their summer open. Forty two teams entered the competition with all the Hale ladies performing well.
In first place, with a score of 93 points was Jo Bryant, Jo Egerton, Angela Morris (Prestbury) and Noelle Morris. It was a real team effort with all members working well together.
Second place went to Tiff Fielden, Louise Gerald, Chris Marsh and Maxine Rowlands (Ellesmere) with an admirable 87. An amazing score as two of the team play off single figures.
It was a fabulous day, the course was in great shape and all the teams played well. Well done to the Hale Ladies!
