Trophy Win for Team Thompson

Mixed Centenary Trophy

Well done to Keith and Tracey Thompson for winning the Mixed Centenary trophy on Saturday with 38 points. Second place went to Jan and Chris Ravenscroft with 37 points. Both pairs played together and it was neck and neck until the outcome was decided on the final green.

Special mention to Ann Davies and John Bacon who played in the worst of the weather in the morning. They scored 18 points on the front nine but were completely drenched and so couldn’t carry on.

I bet that was Paul Simpson’s finger trying to block out the Gentleman Captain’s face with his finger 😂

Ladies Stableford

Congratulations to Claire Makin for finishing on top in last week’s 18 hole stableford with 36 points. Diana Hogben was second with 34 points.

Twenty five ladies played in the 9 hole stableford competition and Emma Daynes was the winner with a cracking score of 22 points. This reduced her handicap to 27.6. Jane Perks finished second with seventeen.

Seniors Summer 9 Hole Stableford

Tony Adamson was the winner with 19 points last Wednesday beating Tarik Rashid into second place via a card play off. This was the penultimate event of the series before the final in September.

Green Fees

As a reminder, when you book a guest to play with you on the Club V1 booking system the green fee is NOT automatically taken from your account. Please let the Pro Shop or the bar know before or immediately after play and we can process the payment.

If you can always try to pay using your HGC swipe card, then it really helps with the admin as this creates a more robust “paper trail” on the system. I go through the tee sheets every seven to fourteen days to chase unpaid green fees.

If a green fee has been taken from your account incorrectly, I’d suggest contacting me in the first instance. Remember though that this is far less likely to happen if you amend the tee sheet if your guest didn’t actually end up playing with you or you decided not to play at all perhaps because of bad weather etc.

Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation with this.
