Hawkstone Weekend
A fantastic time was had by the happy group of 16 bandits at Hawkstone Park on the weekend away it's safe to say!
The two courses were in mint condition, the weather was incredible and the accommodation and food were spot on.
To echo Doyley's comments on the WhatsApp Group, a huge vote of thanks goes to John Chapman, Bob Stewart and Graham Donnelly for organising a first class venue and overall experience generally.
Congratulations to everyone who picked up the NTP winnings, and special mention for Eddie Murray who won the Saturday Stableford Comp on the Championship Course and Ian Stevo and Shaun Johnno who won the Sunday Pairs Comp on the Hawkstone Course, but everyone was a Winner really with loads of laughter, far, far too many alcofrolics and great memories made.
Let's do this one again!!

Chester GC, 18th August 2019
Didn't we have a luvverly time, the day we went to Chester!
A bright and breezy day for our final Event of the Season was enjoyed by all. As usual, it was a full day with a 9 Hole Texas Scramble in the morning, full 18 in the afternoon spiced up with the dreaded Yellow Ball mini-competition, and of course the final push for the two Divisional titles.
The day was won by Shaun Johnson with a brilliant 36 playing off an extremely tough Handicap of 3 along with the annual Memorial Shield which held added poignancy this year with the loss of our original well loved Captain, Joe Russell.
The three NTPs at £15 each were spread between Danny Parr, Andy Miller and Les Hornby, and there was just the one 2 this time going to Dave Obby.
And finally, our beloved Golfing Gander, Gertie will get to spend a very worrying Christmas with a beaming John Doyle watching the classic movie 'Duck, Duck, Goose!' whilst sharing a sleeve of chocolate balls, thanks to his returned score of 17 Points.
