Change of Event Venue
Note for your calendars girls, we've cancelled Mold in July due to their insistence on 3 balls only for Societies at weekends and Doyley has managed to get us booked in at the magnificent Chester GC at Curzon Park instead.
Wonderful venue where we played our Season finale in 2019.
It's slightly more expensive than most, so we won't make any contribution to prize funds, etc, but we agreed it was too good an opportunity to miss.
We will be limited to 6 tees however, i.e. 24 places, so get your name down early for a fantastic course in the glorious Summertime!
2023 Membership
Welcome to all our new Members for the 2023 Season, increasing our membership to a magnificent 28 strong mob of hopeful floggers!
James Oliver, Mark Roden, Mark Lewis, Philip Hodgkiss, Paul Towers, Mike Towell and Callum Newall, welcome, welcome, one and all.
As mentioned in the email circulated, given the increased numbers, we do have to manage Tee Bookings a little more carefully, as Doyley books the courses up to 12 months in advance, normally advising a group of 20 golfers, which is of course 5 tees maximum.
So, given the increased Membership, we need to liaise with each club in turn asap, ensuring they can accommodate an additional one or two tees, should we need them, as it would seem more likely that we will have at least 20 for each Event, and even if it were just 21 Attendees, that still means having 6 tees.
It is very important therefore to click on your Event Attendance, absolutely by each Event Deadline Confirmation date shown, or sooner if at all possible, please. This will enable us to check in with each club to make sure that we can all be accommodated.
We obviously want to avoid imposing a first come first served approach, as that really isn't what our Society is about.
Anyhow, good luck to everyone for the Season with a special Gertie Goose welcome to you all with open arms...

Captain's Day, Eastham Lodge GC, 2nd October 2022
Our wonderful Skipper, Daz, had his Captain's Day in the Autumn sunshine at Eastham Lodge Golf Club rounding off a brilliant 2022 season.
A solid turn out of 20 hopeful hackers turned out to compete for the Mellwood Memorial Shield, plus the Captain's Day Trophy and the day was contested extremely closely as everyone struggled a little in the soggy conditions after the recent rain
In 3rd place on 26 points, thanks to a best back 9 countback was John Doyle, whilst runner up on 28 points was Sean Ellis, but our 2022 Captain's Day winner on 30 points, was Mark McNally. Well done to Mark, a fine win for our 2023 Vice-Captain-in-waiting.
Gertie Goose wasn't on show as she's got her webbed feet up in front of Stevo's Log Burner for the Winter, but Daz contributed a goosey mug and mini-Gertie for the lowest score, which unfortunately turned out to be himself, thanks to a whopping 17 points! However, Vice-Captain Fitzy eased his pain with some goodies including a couple of bottles of vino collapso and Daz's favourite cheesecake!!
20 Quid NTPs were also up for grabs and were won by Eddie Murray, Sean Ellis and Fitzy.
And finally, many thanks to all for contributing a tidy sum of around £200 towards the Captain's nominated charity, Stick 'n Step, supporting children with cerebral palsy, a cause close to Daz's heart, well done everyone.
