Hello Golfers,

Enjoy the read.

Club news

Captain’s trip

Fifty-two of us headed to Slayley Hall for Chris our Club Captain’s trip, a great venue with two tough demanding courses. The first day we played for the Fred Ellis Shield over the championship course, after playing it a few weeks before I had a score of 38 points to be the winning score. I was a couple of points out, winning with a total of 40 points were Joe Ratcliffe and Sam Wilcock, both have shown some good form over the last few weeks and have both won the competition in the past with different partners.

In second place were the two Dave’s Webster and Barker, great to see maybe not the pair I would have selected to do well but with a score of 39 points well-done guys.

On the Sunday, we played a Fourball Betterball Stableford and beat the Pro/Captain challenge, we managed a score of 38 points with some inconsistent golf between us, winning the competition were Mick Foster and John Wilcock with 43 points, beating three other pairs by one-point.

Thanks to Chris for organising another great Captain’s trip and congratulations to Steve Farrar on accepting the role of been Club Captain in 2021.

Past Captain’s Trophy

Richard Pollard wins again - a great score of 42 points, winning by four from in second place Mr President with 38 points.

Clark’s Brewery Am-Am

This was another well-supported event. Firstly, a big thanks to Clark’s for their continued support, the course was in great condition with a lot of praise from members and visitors. The winning team from Willow Valley with 90 points were Andy Hobson, Darryl Wright, Andy Hallas and Shaun Moyser, congratulations guys.

Junior news

Alex on the double

Saturday was the Lady Captain’s junior competition, thanks to Judi for starting them off and for the gifts. Alex won with 42 points, followed in second by Isaac with 41 points, and in third place Millie with 40 points.

Sunday, the juniors played in the Fixby Junior Open. Alex won again, a one-under-par round on a tough golf course and also got valuable points towards the order of merit. Great stuff Alex, and well done to all the juniors for taking part over the weekend.

Ladies news

Lady Captains Day

Thankfully the weather just held out the Juniors on Saturday who played a Stableford comp for my Lady Captain’s prizes.

The results as follows:

1st Alex Croft – 42 points.
2nd Isaac Murray - 41 points.
3rd Millie Wilson – 40 points.

It was a pleasure to greet the juniors on the first tee. Well played everyone.

Then a real surprise on Sunday. As you know, Tiger is known for being a ladies man and at the weekend he lived up to his reputation. He was found lurking in the bush at the 10th tee on Sunday at HHGC Lady Captain’s Day. He certainly made a few ladies smile.

A good day was had by all. For me, it felt a little bit odd to be hosting this competition and not playing in it. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the day as did our lady golfers. A big thank you is extended to my sister Helen and friend Ruth who assisted me in keeping everyone topped up with food & drinks and to Richard and Sonia for their hospitality.

It was really nice to catch up with Anne who is currently recovering from a hip operation and also with former lady golfers Mary and Margaret at the dinner after golf. Some of the gents returned from Slaley Hall stating what a fab weekend they too had enjoyed. All of this topped off with TV and Cricket in the clubhouse and cricket World Cup win, one for the history books. An amazing end to an amazing weekend.

The ladies results became a family affair for the winner and runner up one of our former Lady Captains coming in third. Results as follows.

1st – Faye Williams – nett 71.
2nd Gillian Littlewood – nett 73.
3rd Jane Tingle – nett 73.

Following a successful captains trip, my good wishes are sent to Mr Captain for a successful weekend.

Happy golfing.

Judi B.

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

adidas SS19 apparel

Take this Ultimate365 polo from adidas. As its name suggests, it is designed to keep you looking fresh 365 days a year, no matter what you're doing. The adidas logo is placed on the left sleeve, leaving the trendy two-colour blocked front as the main talking point.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come on down and take a closer look at adidas' range next time you're at the club.

Spotlight | PING Blueprint irons

Now this is a beauty.

When Tour players put a new product into play immediately, you know it's something special.
