On Monday, the members were of course allowed back inside their fabulous clubhouse after what seems like a very long absence so I think we should all raise a glass to that!
In this week’s missive, we have a few results to catch up on, some photos and some other top quality items! Please enjoy…
Medal 2
Congratulations to Andrew Warnes for winning Medal 2 on Saturday with a fine nett score of 66. Charlie Hindle was second having lost on a card play off. Tony Bray, George Buchan and Neil Thompson were joint third just one shot back. Eleven twos were recorded during the competition.
Coronation Foursomes and Nine Hole Stableford
The ladies Coronation Foursomes was won last week by Caroline Massey and Ceri Hyde with an excellent 37 points. Sally Wright and Clare Withey finished in second place with 33 points.
The nine hole stableford was won by Joanne Bryant with 17 points. Second place was shared between Emma Daynes and Karen Stockton with 16 points.
Seniors Stableford 2
George Buchan won the second Seniors Stableford competition of the series with 19 points last Wednesday. Phil Long was second and Richard Robinson third, both scoring 18 points.
Nine and Dine
Congratulations to Jane Perks, Roger O’Brien, Clare and Guy Withey for winning this event on Friday with a huge total of 45 points. Lady Captain Irene Kirk, Ron Kirk, John Gower-Jones and Judy Anderson were in second place with 39 points. The format was stableford four ball with the best ladies score and the best gents score counting on each hole.
All enjoyed the excellent Nine and Dine Dinner so thanks to Ben and his team. Thanks also go to Andy Veitch for his excellent organisation and Ian Hunt setting up the competition on Club V1.
Sunday Trading
Please note the Pro Shop has been open seven days a week since lockdown was lifted so that means Sundays too! It’s been open from 0800 – 1400 on Sundays so please pop in and support the initiative so that Phil, Will and I are able to continue the trial.
Hale GC Pro Am 2021
There are still one or two morning spaces available for teams in this years event which takes place on Saturday 10th July. If you’ve entered before you know what a good day it is and if you haven’t you’re missing out – either way, please contact me to secure your place.
Thought for the Week
In an effort to keep play moving and be considerate to our fellow golfers, we all need to move quickly between shots, be ready to play when it’s our turn (or even before if playing “Ready Golf”) and take just enough time over the shot to give it our full attention (that doesn’t require six or seven complete practice swings btw). I think the quote below sums it all up nicely…
Play quickly but don’t hurry.
