Greetings from Stretton Wright
Hornsea Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional

Last week we had some really nice Hornsea Golf Club logoed stock delivered. It includes head covers, shoe bags, valuable bags etc. A must for every member.

It was really nice sitting on the desk checking cards etc. after the Hornsea's Second and Third Division Open.

Loads of great comments about our course from the 148 entries that had come from all the clubs in the Hull and District area. Only one bad one and that was from one of our members! I guess he had a bad day!

Massive congratulations to Paul Gibson who has recently got engaged to his girlfriend Jane. Good luck to you both from everyone at Hornsea Golf Club.

Now I'm a big believer in if you play badly at least dress and look the part. We had a guest play on Monday though that took this to the extreme!! If anyone can beat these trousers please take a picture and send it to me.

   

Just a quick reminder to you all that this Saturday is our first Gold Medal Competition of the year. A decision that was made in the golf committee is that if you play this Saturday and in the other four Gold Medals you must enter the competition if you are playing up to 1.30pm. If you do not want to enter the competition there are plenty of times available later in the day. Please note this was a committee decision and not one made by myself which I believe some of you are thinking.

We still have some times left for the Texas Scramble this coming Monday. Shotgun start at 5pm. Please book in the Pro Shop.


Thursday, 30 April saw our Mid-Week Stableford contested. First was Willem Smith 41 points. Phil Kitchen was second with 40 points and Tim Hatchett was third after 37 points. Two's Club - Only one. Darren Reeve and he wasn't in it!

Saturday, 2 May was for the Gents Second and Third Division Open. Division Two was won by J Thompson of Skidby Lakes GC with 40 points. Second was J Webster of Hainsworth Park who scored 39 points. Third place went to our very own J Thackray with 38 points.

Division Three was won by R Phipps of Sutton Park with 36 points. Second went to C Raw with 35 points, beating T Hemmingway of Cave Castle on countback. The team prize went to us!

Sunday, 3 May 2015 was the turn of the Tomlinson Family Cup. Craig Gawthorpe and Dave Liversedge were first with 67. Mark Tunstall and Angie Hinch were second with 67 whilst Brian Lockwood and Sharon Cane came third with 68.

Tuesday 5th April 2015 saw the May Medal and Carol Yonge Salver Division One was won by Sharon Cane with a nett 77. Caroline Barker was second with a nett 79 and Nicola Salzl was third with a nett 79. Division Two was won by Dianne Cross with a nett 74. Sue Howell was second with nett 82 and Jill Marshall third with nett 83.

Bank Holiday Monday saw Hornsea hold its annual Mixed Invitational Am-Am. Yet again it was a great event with all that played enjoying their golf and a good meal after. The time sheet for next year's event which will be held on 2nd May 2016 is now open. First were the team of C Barker, A Barker, A Lightfoot and M Redshaw with 83 points. Second were W Lockwood, P Lockwood, B Wilkinson and T Wilkinson with 80 points. And the team of S Howell, D Mackintosh, T Worsnop and A Whitwham were third with 76 points.

Wednesday, 6 May saw Hornsea Golf Club hold its first Over 50's Am-Am of the year. Tough conditions with a strong wind and quite a few heavy showers made conditions tough for all as the conditions stayed the same for most of the day. We received many great comments about the course and despite the conditions everyone that played enjoyed themselves. We have another Over 50's next Wednesday when I'm sure the sun will shine, with a few times still available. If anyone is interested in playing please call the shop on 01964 534989. Please find the leading 6 scores and then all the scores in time order by clicking here. The entry sheet for next year's event is also open so please book early to avoid disappointment of not getting a time.  


 

Upcoming competitions are as follows:

  • Saturday, 9 May - Gents Centenary Gold Medal, Ladies Saturday Medal
  • Sunday, 10 May - Help the Aged Plaque, Junior May Stableford
  • Monday, 11 May - Texas Scramble 5pm start

  • Wednesday, 13 May - Over 50's Open Am-Am

Big thanks to everyone for getting all the first round games played and saving me the job of disqualifying anyone. It amazes me how many of you leave it until the last week or even the last day to play your matches though. You have roughly four to six weeks to play your matches. I do not like having to disqualify anyone but if games are not played I have no choice. 7 June is the next cut-off date. Good luck to all in the next round and if you haven't done so yet, contact your opponents!

I'm sure all those that play in the Tuesday Club will be pleased to hear that Willem Smith managed a good score in a club competition and his handicap has come down six shots recently. He played this week but no returned giving the rest of you a chance!! It was good to see 35 players brave very windy weather conditions and some quite good scores. Best of the day was John Magee who managed 37 points. Graham Markham managed 36 but was beaten on the last nine by Colin Smith. Special mention to Jim Jeffries who after a poor front 9 managed 25 points on the back 9!! Nearest to the pin was won by Paul Robinson and from what I have noticed so far I would say that's the nearest all year so far.

On Sunday,3 May Hessle Golf Club hosted the East Riding Team Championship. This is a 36 hole event with teams of four representing each club. Well if you remember the weather in the morning was terrible so the event was changed to just 18 holes in the afternoon. Our team of Leigh Gawley, Rees Brown, Jonny Fisher and Sam Middleton managed 2nd place overall. Well played boys. Unfortunately I think home advantage must have helped as Hessle won the event by 24 shots!


It's been a busy week cutting and keeping the course tidy between the heavy rain showers this week. Hard to believe but last weekend saw more rain fall than the hole of the start of the year!! We could still do with an increase in temperature though to see the course come to its best.
