Clubfit Golf

Hello golfers,

I waved goodbye to Lancaster Road this week after five weeks of coaching their Year Three, 60 children learning to play golf inside school. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a card with a nicely drawn picture of what is presumably me. It's nice to see they've spotted I'd lost a little weight over the past five weeks. I am now continuing with just Skerton St. Lukes Primary until spring where I will be going into several new schools. For those who wonder, we aim to recruit children from these schools to come for lessons, or join Paul's bambino classes with a view to then becoming members of Heysham Golf Club. It's a process which can be hard work, but is very rewarding whether it be from a fun group session or an outstanding achievement from a young golfer connected to Heysham.

The golf club has it's next roll-up competition on Saturday, 24 February, only £3 to play and available to all members. This roll-up competition will be the second in a series of 12 held throughout 2018 in aid of helping restore our Spike Bar. If you're not a member you can play the day before in our February Winter Open. Call us on 01524 852000 or book or click here. The Winter Opens are just £12 per person to play and you get a FREE warm drink or soup on the 10th.

On the Course...

To carry on our theme of ridiculously low winter handicapped golfers, Scott Lee has taken over the mantle of the club's lowest handicapper. His nine penalty points gained this winter now means he sits off a tidy +6 handicap, potentially lower than anyone else in Europe. Scott will be quick to probably claim this title, celebrate and buy everyone a drink. He in fact walked into the clubhouse and shouted across the bar that drinks were on him; how he broke into the club at 4:00am to do this is still a mystery, but Scott walked away with this usual bar bill of £0. Scott has requested those wishing to buy him a drink to wish him well can infact leave the amount in cash in an envelope behind the bar. His fourth place finish with Dave Howard is what propelled him to +6 in an betterball event won by Rob Gow and Andy Taylor. For those who don't know Rob, he's the one who looks like Ned Flanders on speed. Fair play though winning on sun-diddly-unday.

Course news

Driving range update

Not so much course, but more the driving range. The greenstaff have this week been working to remove some of the excess water on this troubled ground. The main issue to be resolved is the full re-draining of the area, but this requires a lot of money. The green staff however have extended a trench up the right hand side, a sort of makeshift drain which will help stop the right hand side of the range becoming a mud bath. Thank you for your patience in regards to the range, we want the area to dry out and not have to close it often. Feel free to ask us about the range and the plans, as well as how you can help if you are a member of Heysham Golf Club. Thanks also to Dave and his team for their work on the range this week. You can check out the pictures below.
