Division splits for 2022 Season
Well, 7 weeks and counting down to our first swipe of the season at Leasowe!
Meantime, our very own Vice Captain Beef has been busy sorting the Division 1/2 split, and the result is as follows:
Division 1
Alan Dennis, Andy Fitzpatrick, Bob Stewart, Colin Lewis, Colin Newall, Danny Parr, Darren White, Gary Chapman, Ian Stevenson, John Chapman, John Doyle, Les Hornby, Mark McNally & Shaun Johnson
Division 2
Alfie Parle, Bob Sneddon, Carl Ambrose, Chris Sullivan, Colin Hodson, Graham Leasor, Jeff Burgess, John Robinson, John Roche, Jon Rutland, Peter Batey, Peter Moffatt & Tony Moran
2022 Handicaps are yet to be reviewed before we kick off, so watch this space.
Also, don't forget that we are each pairing up with Season-long partners this year, each pair to have one member from each division, as an additional fun competition, with the pairings to be drawn at the first Event at Leasowe, so let's please have as many attending as possible.
Note: We have been told that we will be limited to a total of 20 players, so get your name down asap, as it will have to be first come, first served, with full playing members given preference I'm afraid

Captain's Day, Wirral GC, 3rd October 2021
A brilliant Captain's Day out at Wirral Golf Club rounded off the 2021 season on a mainly bright and breezy Autumnal day, on a course in great condition.
A solid turn out of 20 hardy swishers turned out to compete for the Mellwood Memorial Shield, plus the Captain's Day Trophy and a bottle of shampoo, and it was contested extremely closely with no fewer than 12 scores of 30 points or more!
In 3rd place on 35 points, thanks to a best back 9/back 6 countback over fellow overall scorers of 35 points, Gary Chapman, Andy Fitz and Les Hornby, was Chris Sullivan, whilst runner up on 36 points was Mark McNally (what a season he's had by the way!), but our 2021 Captain's Day winner on 37 points, was Mr. John Robinson. Well done to JR, a worthy winner and a true gent of the Society.
Gertie Goose wasn't on show as she's resident at Captain Dennis' pile for the Winter, but he still managed to shore up all the scores on 21 points in last position, but, using Captain's privilege, a goosey mug and miniature Malt was awarded to Ian Stevo for running just ahead of the departing skipper on 23 points.
20 Quid NTPs were also up for grabs and were won by Andy Miller, Toddy Hodson and Bob Stewart.
Finally, a massive vote of thanks to all for contributing a total of £265 towards the Captain's nominated charity, Jackson's Animal Rescue, a brilliant local organisation that uses every single contributed penny in rescuing and helping injured and abandoned wild and domestic animals and birds.
