End of Season Prizegiving
...and so to the 2022 Season Winners, and sweeping to the First Division title thanks to a series of absolutely impeccable displays, amassing an astounding 141 Points with his best 4 scores, was Shaun Johnston, with Colin Lewis second on 132 Points and Danny Parr finishing Third on 123 Points. Congratulations to Shaun on an excellent Season back in the fold after injury!
The Second Division title was a lot tighter, with any one from four or five in with a shout at the start of play. However, the victorious Winner with 122 Points was Peter Batey, with Jeff Burgess in Second place on 113 Points and Chris Sullivan Third with 112 Points. Congratulations to Peter in only his second Season with the Society!
Individual Event Winners over the Season were:
Leasowe - Colin Lewis, Vicars Cross - Andy Fitz, Wrexham I - Shaun Johnston, Pryors Hayes - Andy Fitz, Wrexham II - Les Hornby and Antrobus - Shaun Johnston.
The Team Winners of the Final Event 9 Hole Texas Scramble were Ian Stevo, Carl Ambrose, Chris Sullivan and guest Craig Riley and the 'Yellow Ball' Team Winners of the Final Event were Mark McNally, John Chapman and that man again, Shaun Johnston.
And finally, the Winner(s) of the inaugural Pairs Competition (sponsored by BPH Tool Hire, the North West's only place to go to for all your Power Tool requirements, from 6" Vibrating Pokers to Hole Drills complete with lubricant) was Shaun Johnston....and Shaun Johnston, who played with himself all Season.

Antrobus GC, 21st August 2022
The 2022 Season finale was spent by our happy band of 17 at Antrobus on a lovely sunny Summer's day!
The morning Texas Scramble competition was followed by the afternoon 18, which also included everyone's favourite mini comp, the old 'Yellow Ball' curse, everything being spiced up by the last chance run at the Divisional titles and the inaugural Pairs comp (sponsored by Merseyside Plant Hire, the one stop shop for all your power tool needs! ...so Stevo tells me)
The Event day itself was won by Shaun Johnston with a monumental 41 points, leaving Colin Lewis in his wake on 39 points, with Jeff Burgess, John Doyle and Danny Parr joint third on 33 points.
Two of the NTPs were won by Chris Sullivan with player of the day, Shaun Johnston, pocketing the other.
And finally, our beloved Goose, Gertie, went home to spend Autumn and Winter in Stevo's gaff, melting slowly in front of his new log burner, thanks to his 23 points with a slightly worse back 9 than Captain Daz on the same score!
Wrexham GC, 31st July 2022
Wonderful Wrexham came to our rescue when our date at Haydock Park fell through, but there were no complaints from any of our solid band of 19 swingers, as the course was in excellent nick again.
The slick greens and the breezy conditions kept the scores a bit lower than our last visit, with three tied for second spot on 28 points, Shaun Johnston, Danny Parr and Alan Dennis, but our winner on the day with a very creditable 31 points was Les Hornby. Well done Les, da iawn!
NTPs were won by Colin Newell, Bob Stewart and guest, Peter Cunningham. Nice one boys.
And finally, a controversial decision was heartily endorsed by Father-in-Law of the year and second last placed Mark McNally (16 points!) to award Gertie Goose to poor Colin Lewis, who retired after the 6th hole with back problems, having accumulated just 9 points.

Venue Change for Haydock GC Event
Just to confirm to all, the next Event on Sunday July 31st has been changed from Haydock GC to Wrexham GC, due to Haydock's policy change of no Societies on a weekend, which they had forgotten to advise us about!
Thankfully, our brilliant Secretary, Doyley has rearranged the event to the amazing Wrexham GC, which we enjoyed to a man earlier in the year.
Check the details on the Events page, but to confirm please arrive by 9.00 for a bacon buttie and organising the draw, etc, with first tee at 10.00.
