Breaking news ..........
Would you ever believe it but "YES" we finally won this year's
annual match against the NFU.
With a resounding 5.5 points v's 2.5 points this is the first year that we have won since 2016. The HGS team was led out in the first group by Bob Ellis & Paul Farrow who won their match and set
the scene for the rest of the team. Playing a splendid golf course at Luffenham Heath we were lucky with the weather avoiding the heavy rain that was forecast and all of the four balls got in before
the rain arrived. It was a joyous occasion receiving the trophy for the first time in a number of years and we need to work very hard for a repeat next year. Well done to everyone for a good turn out
and a great result.
That's the end of a fine season of HGS golf and we are already well advanced in planning next years golfing calendar and venues. All
those who have enjoyed the year's golf with the HGS should book out their diaries as soon as Merv Foulds releases next years dates to ensure that our attendances continue to improve as they have this
year. Also remember that we are still looking to increase membership numbers so please bring guests along wherever possible in the hope that they may choose to enquire about membership in the
future.
A big thanks to Merv Foulds again for organising all of our days, thanks to Bob Ellis for doing a great job as Captain and a really big thank you to our President Derek Richardson for attending so
many events (often) as a non-playing President.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy winter season of golf (personally my clubs will now go into storage until Woodhall Spa) and we look
forward to seeing you all (along with some new members) next year.
Anyone who has any membership enquiries please contact Merv Foulds: mervfoulds@hotmail.com
The Autumn Event was a hugely enjoyable 2 x days away with amazing weather for October and 2 x very good golf courses. Day 1 at Old Fold Manor was fiercely contested but the winner on the day was Roger Byrne with 38 points. Day 2 was played at The Shire a course with lots of water and some very tricky fast greens David & Simon Partridge were the eventual winners with a very good score of 40 points.
