The HESKETH GOLF CLUB SOUTHPORT - Friday 17th May 2024

 We are well into 2024 and thankfully the damp winter seems to be a thing of the past.  It certainly is judging by the condition of the HESKETH course, which is in fine condition as they prepare the course for the OPEN qualifier competition.  One consequence of that is that the rough is being allowed to grow, and while not being too dense to generally prevent you finding your ball, hitting said ball out the rough was not straightforward.  Having said that the fairways were firm meaning lots of run and the greens were firm, making for a good day all round, enjoyed by 25 members of the Victoria Golf Society on our latest meeting.

So the results:

1st on cpo     Terry Broderick    35pts 

2nd               Peter Hyde            35pts

3rd               Nuala Robinson    34pts.

Well done to you three, but a special mention to Nuala who is the HESKETH GC Ladies Captain this year, and is playing a lot of golf as you would expect in this role.

Alan Dean managed the only 2.

The Captains Prize, NTP in 2 on the 8th was won by Peter Hyde.  Longest drives were won by Evan Bale and Alison Hyde.

Thank you to the HESKETH Club and their members who played and enabled us to have a splendid day, followed by a superb  meal, the hospitality was second to none!

Terry Broderick won the May (Cochrane Carpet Care) Trophy won last year by Evan Bale.  It will be presented at a future occasion as Evan forgot to bring said trophy on the day......
