SHAW HILL GOLF CLUB CHORLEY

Friday 9th June 2023

20 members of the Society met on a warm day, during this long hot, dry spell to play at Shaw Hill.  The Course was baked dry and the ball ran a long way, not always where a golfer would like!  The greens were variable some dry and bare, others nicely green and well presented.  The course did look very picturesque.

Results:

Winner John Wilson 39 points.

Second Mark Patterson 37 points

Third    Nick Pilkington 35 points

A special mention must go to Val Sumner who won nearest the pin on the third hole.  This was very well done because for the ladies it was a 200 yard par 4.  Excellent Val.

Nearest the pin in 2 on the 8th a 430 yard par 4 for the men, but a par 5 for the ladies.  Huh. What was that all about?  Surprisingly (haha) won by Dean Straker one of the few who could reach the green in 2.  The ladies had no chance.  Good advice from the locals....eh...

And finally a MONSTER drive from Nick Pilkington won him the longest drive prize.  No 2's today .... perhaps a few near misses, certainly a couple from me...
