Spring Forward

This week, the ladies are paying homage to St Patrick’s day on Thursday with their very green greensomes competition whilst the men stage the Bogey final on Saturday.

The following Saturday we have the Captain’s Drive In which will see the first ever junior captain Dan Turkington join Judy Pinnington and David Wainwright in bashing one off the first tee. Spring is definitely in the air and don’t it feel good!!

Shot Trackers

I’d be really interested to hear from any members who have been using shot trackers such as those produced by Arccos, Shot Scope and Garmin. I’d like to know what you like about them and what you don’t and perhaps most importantly, have they helped you improve your game. Please email me or give me a quick call when convenient on 0161 249 8427.

Junior Group Coaching

We have some slots available in our 1600-1645 Monday class which starts next week on the 21st March. If you would like to sign up your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter (you get the gist!) or just require further information, please contact me via email or pop into the shop.

Men’s Nine Hole Stableford

Martin Oldfield played exceptionally well to score 23 points to win Saturday’s back nine stableford. Gus Murray-Brown and Howard Webb both scored 21 points but Gus beat Howard on a card play to secure the second spot. Keith Thompson recorded two twos on his way round.

Ladies Competitions

Well done to Jo Egerton for winning Thursday’s 18 hole stableford with a very creditable 36 points. Her good friend and playing partner Jo Bryant was one shot adrift in second place. Caroline Perkin and Louise Gerald scored 33 points to finish in joint third spot.

Lady captain Irene Kirk won the nine hole stableford with 19 points and so was receiving a voucher at tea afterwards rather than handing one out! Sue Bromley scored a level par 18 points to finish in second place. Amanda Greaves and Pat Jefferies finished joint third with 17 points.

In the 9 hole stableford that took place on Saturday, Sally Wright took the honours with 16 points beating Tracey Thompson by two points.

Seniors Bradley 6

Robert Spark fresh from his team victory in the Texas Scramble a few days before maintained his winning ways on Friday with victory in the rescheduled Bradley 6. He scored 20 points over the front nine. Well played Robert. In second place but losing on a card play off was Alan Bradley. Ian Macklin finished third with 19 points.
