It seems Pro Shop newsletters are likes buses – you wait ages for one and then two appear practically at the same time! Hope you enjoy your second missive of the week.
Captains’ Mixed Foursomes
Well done to Kerry Bailey & Jonny Gray for winning Saturday’s Mixed Foursomes competition with a whopping 45 points! Rosie Gerrard & Glyn Isaac were runners up with 35 points.
We didn’t have enough ladies so some had to partner two different men! So ladies the message is please try and sign up for these fun competitions whenever possible.
Lady Captain’s Car Parking Space
Here’s a message from the lady captain Jan Ravenscroft:
Thank you all very much indeed for so generously supporting the Raffle for Lady Captain’s car parking space. All the money raised will go to Guide Dogs, this year’s charity.
The draw took place on Saturday afternoon, at tea after the Mixed Foursomes competition. The lucky winner was Glyn Isaac!
Hale GC Pro Am 2023
We still have some sapces left in this year’s Pro Am which takes place on Saturday 8th July. This really is a great event. If you’ve not yet played in it, why not give it a try? Just ask anyone who has particpated and I think they’ll give it a hearty thumbs up. It’s open to ladies and gents.
The format is teams of four (one professional and three amateurs) with the best two scores to count on each hole. You can enter with any handicap but the maximum playing handicap allowed on the day is 18 for men and 24 for ladies. The entry fee is £230 if all three amateurs are Hale members or £260 if one or more of the team are not Hale members.
Sandiford
Congratulaions to Guy Levers & David Rodwell for beating Tony Sampson & Andrew Fishwick 2 & 1 on Monday in the final of the Sandiford, which is the men’s winter foursomes knockout.
GPS Devices
With the new pat three 4th hole now being in operation plus other changes to the course, we are busy contacting the GPS companies to ensure that their information is correct. Shotscope and Skycaddie have updated. I am in email communication with Garmin to finalise them updating their data.
Are there any other companies that have not yet updated their information correctly? If so, please can you let me know so that I can make contact with them. Thank you.
Snips from greens – Health & Safety on the Course
The opening of our new 4th/13th hole means that the shortest route from that green back to the next teeing area for Crowbank, can tempt members to walk along the edge of the fairway of ‘Bend’ (the 3rd/12th fairway). Please do not use that route, tempting as it is, but instead use the path which is cut to run alongside the riverbank and through the sunken area which leads up to Crowbank’s 14th Teeing area. This is not only a much safer route it also avoids players on Bend having to delay play whilst waiting for their target area to clear. Thank you.
