March Opening Competition of 2022 at Formby Ladies

 Friday March 18th Formby Ladies - I can't believe our luck, this early in March and we have a day that would have been good for summer.  What a great day to start Captain Sue O'Donnell's year.  The Club made us very welcome, as usual, and it was a lovely afternoon followed by dining together in the clubhouse.

 Approach to the 4th green looking fabulous! March...?

 

                                    The fifth green looking.. err fabulous!

Captain Sue decided that there would be a team comp based on a 6x3 waltzer.  That is one stableford score from a 3 ball to count on the 1st, 2 scores on the second and so on.

Team Prize: Dave Gant, Geraint and Lol Harris

Longest Drive – Men: Dean Straker. Ladies LD Denise McInerny 

NTP on the 5^th? Nick Pilkington – got the cake!

NTP in 2 (15^th) ....?

The Captain's charity this year is Derian House, a children's hospice in Chorley, and the blobs and biscuits fund started off with £36.

On to Warrington GC on 8th April.....

December 2021 - Christmas Competition at Formby Ladies

A lovely December Day at Formby Ladies for Captain Ian Robinson's last event as Captain of the Society.  Compared with some winter days this was beautiful, cool but dry and sunny, as the pictures below from Dave Gant show. 

Guess the hole?  I can't quite make it out....

Lol Harris on the 18th approach, having a last go at the heather.

We retired after the golf to freshen up and went into Southport to enjoy a lovely evening at Trattoria 51.

Captan elect Sue O'Donnell baked a lovely cake which was raffled in the Christmas draw and it was won with much celebration by Bryan Robinson and the proceeds were £95 raised for the Cpts charity in the process!  Thanks to everyone for being so generous. 

Bubbly won by Nick Pilkington - for what you might ask!  I can't remember....was it NTP in 2.....checking!
