New Members are always welcome to the Society.  So if you like to play different courses in the North West in a relaxed, mildly competitive environment, with the emphasis on fun and enjoying ourselves then contact the Treasurer on pswgolf@aol.com.

 Formby Ladies final event of 2022 played 15th January 2023

This was played in January on what turned out to be a very pleasant day apart from a very light shower.  The course was lovely as usual and the greens were in excellent condition.  The December event was cancelled because of the frozen course in the December cold spell, almost unheard of in this area.

15 Golfers turned out, and had a competitive day, with prizes awarded as follows:

1st Denise McInerny      43pts so Denise wins the Christmas Claret Jug. 

2nd Peter S Watson        42pts

3rd Evan Bale                39pts

Longest drives, Dean Straker and Lisa Greenhalgh

Nearest the pin in 2 shots on the 7th John Wilson, and 15th Dean Straker.  So John won the wonderful Captain's cake prize, and gleefully took it home to consume!

2's John Wilson and Nick Pilkington

In the evening we visited the Nepali restaurant on Lord Street, and enjoyed a very nice meal and evening, although be careful if they say the food is 'spicy', they mean HOT!
