Friday 3rd June - Bromborough Golf Club on the Wirral
28 golfers played at a sunny and beautifully presented Bromborough Golf Course this Friday. We were all smartly turned out after being told to wear our best golfing gear to make sure we turned up appropriately attired. So we looked the part while we were working our way around the course in nearly 5 hours. Rather slow, come on, we can do better.
Open fairways helped the golf, but plenty of bunkers to catch the wayward shots and the greens were not straightforward. Thanks to Bryan and Sue for distributing then collecting all the tee markers and markers.
Results:
The Summer Trophy held by Mary Bale (and still possessed by her):
1st 40pts Peter T Watson, on his own course. Lovely to see you Peter.

3rd 36 pts Lee Morris

CHORLEY GOLF CLUB "˜PACE OF PLAY' CHARTER
In order to ensure the pace of play is acceptable, Chorley Golf Club has implemented R&A's principles of "Ready Golf". We therefore ask that ALL MEMBERS AND VISITORS adhere to the following guidelines at all times.
STATE YOUR INTENTION AND PLAY FIRST IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO, when;
- a player farther away faces a challenging shot and is taking time to assess their options
- longer hitters are having to wait
- the person with the honour is delayed in being ready to play
- you are about to help someone to look for a lost ball. Play first, then look.
- a person who has just played from a greenside bunker is still farthest from the hole but is delayed due to raking the bunker
- another player's ball has gone over the back of a green, even if they are furthest from the hole, and you are at the front of the green.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS IN ORDER TO SPEED UP PLAY
- Leave your bag/trolley on the side of the green nearest to the next tee
- Mark your score upon immediate arrival at the next tee, except for the first player to tee off, who should mark their card immediately after teeing off
- If in any doubt as to whether your shot will be found, play a provisional ball
- If you have lost a clear hole on the group in front, or you are searching for a lost ball, and the group behind is waiting, call through at the first available opportunity
- Prepare to play your shot as you are waiting for others to play
When Ready Golf is being encouraged, players have to act sensibly to ensure that playing out of turn does not endanger other players.
Ready Golf is not appropriate in match play due to the strategy involved between opponents and the need to have a set method for determining which player plays first. Although in a friendly match you can always agree with your opponent(s) to play Ready Golf.
