Competition results

Lancashire Seniors Championship 

On Monday and Tuesday this week we hosted the Lancashire Seniors Championship.

The best golfers in Lancashire aged 55 and over contested this prestigious event. The course was the winner this time with very strong winds on Monday making scoring difficult but surprisingly on Tuesday on a beautiful warm day with no wind the scoring was very similar. This goes to show how good our members are who produce some great scores on what is a challenging course.

Our course has been steadily improving over the past few weeks thanks to the efforts of our Green Staff, we now have more grass on the greens than I have seen before and the overall condition is excellent.

Last Friday during the Charity day organised by Ste Rimmer and Dave Cahill which raised over £2000 for Derian House many members said they had never seen the course look better.

The winning score in the Lancashire Seniors was by +1 handicapper Trevor Foster who shot 73 + 72 and as a former Greenkeeper himself was very enthusiastic about our wonderful course.

Whilst the event is primarily a gross competition there is a nett prize and our Captain Mick Bohannon gave it a good run and apart from a 6 on 18 in the 1st round and a 7-6-6 finish in the 2nd round he was very much in contention finishing in a very creditable 13th place.


The US Open 

It's US Open Week

This week it's the US Open and you may have heard some complaints about the rough from some of the players so it will be interesting to see who can cope with it.

One of them was Kevin Na who went to social media to show what the players have to deal with this week. Click here to watch what he had to say. 

We have had our usual Major sweep running at £2 per square so if you have got a ticket call in and find out which player you have drawn so you can start rooting for them.

With the Open Championship not far away we have also started a sweep on that so you can call in and have a go at that also.

Many of you will be marshalling at this year's Open at Birkdale and I am sure the 13th hole will be in very safe hands.

Birkdale always will have special memories for me as 1 of the 2 Open Championships I have played in and brings back great memories of playing in the 3rd round with eventual winner Ian Baker Finch but also the fantastic support I had from our members walking round with me and also all those members who that year were marshalling on the 3rd hole (so I had no chance of a bad lie there!)

 

The pictures (not very good ones) are of me putting on the 3rd green 1st round (white jumper) and putting on the 18th in the final round.
