Hello golfers,

A big well done to Lancaster Golf Club, who last Saturday won the Blenkinsop Token held at Heysham. The event went brilliantly, with some good golf on show from the youngsters and all three teams representing their clubs with pride. For our boys in blue, a second placed finish behind a strong Lancaster side wasn't a bad showing, over the next few years with some of the smaller ones coming of age, Heysham will be in a stronger position. One thing we always take pride in is our home grown approach, all juniors that play in our Blenkinsop side have started small in our academy and progressed through to represent our club. Special mention to all players, caddies, organisers at Heysham and referees for a smooth day. The best thing about the course was it's bunkers, expertly raked by myself Saturday morning as I chipped in to help the greenstaff set-up the course; it was magnificent. Remember junior golf is important to the future of this great game, so get your kids involved even if it's introducing them on the driving range. We have bambino group sessions with Paul most Saturdays for only £5 per session, junior membership starting at £25 or FREE membership for those full members with youngsters, plus academy lessons with Ryan and individual lessons with myself. Click here to get in touch for more details.

For those that don't know, Ryan and Linda's son Callum has been working at Aberdeen, a Trumps golf course, a magnificent Links golf course on the east coast, and Ryan was lucky to go and play at the weekend with Callum and the boys. Ryan actually had a game, he played and Linda took some lovely pictures of him out on the links, enjoy...

On the Course...

This Sunday will see our annual Finals Day take place at Heysham with all our matchplay finals coming to a finish in one fell swoop. Feel free to come and watch the finals, starting at 8:30am with the Bell Cup featuring Adrian Lockhart and Simon Robinson. Remember some of the finals are 36-hole events and you can find out on BRS who the matches feature.

Well done to Tom Rogerson, who came second in the North West Junior Open at Knott End this past Sunday. Tom is a youngster that has been at Heysham since around the age of six, regularly comes to lessons with myself and so I'm really chuffed for the lad.

Our annual St.John's Hospice event was held on Sunday with some Heysham members amassing a superb 92 point total to win the open team event. Well done to Steve Hamblett, Jason Hamblett, Dave Walsh and Terry Hoare. They were winners of the Jack Butler Memorial Trophy, a special mention to his son Carl for helping organise such a great event and raising money for the Hospice. The night do, jointly run with our Captain Paul Rogerson, was also a huge hit. Speaking of our Captain, find out about his upcoming Away Day later on the newsletter.
