In a week of washouts, break in's and typical British weather you may have not found much to be happy about; parents at least your kids will be going back in around 10 days or so, that's something to get excited about. So, let us find a few things to be happy about in this dreary, overly British week.
The Captain's Charity Texas Scramble and subsequent 80's evening were a big hit. Over 120 playing in the day and even more sinking a few at night singing along to George Michael. It was a great day/night, unfortunately, I wasn't there but I was happy to celebrate my Mum and Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary (another reason to be happy). How do I know it was a good night? Lucozade was our biggest seller on Sunday as everybody was rough.
The Swing Lounge will soon be having an upgrade ready for the busy winter period, a new screen will be installed soon and before we know it, we will be pushing on with the official 2019/20 Indoor Winter League.

Jack Senior has been knocking on the door all year with his form and this week he finally saw it all work together, a fantastic win in the Handa World Invitational over in Northern Ireland. The cool thing about this event was that it was mixed (in a way), a Ladies event also going on at the same time with an equal prize fund. Jack was victorious in a play-off with fellow Lancashire Lad Matthew Baldwin. All of us here are thrilled, especially his coach Ryan. In the week we had at HGC, it was a brilliant fitting way to end it. Get in there Jack. Now 11th in the Order of Merit, with a Top 15 finish by the end of the season will secure his 2020 Tour card. |

We hope you're having a great week on and off the golf course and enjoy this week's read. |
Blenkinsop Token
If you didn't know our junior team (to be picked) will be competing against Morecambe and Lancaster on Saturday, 31 August in the Blenkinsop Token event. The singles strokeplay event is similar to the Clayton Trophy and we can only cheer our lads and girls on to a huge win away from home. The tee times will roughly be lunchtime with any support always much appreciated.

A word from the Coach Omg, what a week... Jack Senior wins on Challenge Tour, which has now catapulted him into the Top 15 on the Order of Merit. This win was coming as his form has been brilliant all year, it was just a case of stringing all four rounds together.
Two other success stories were John Wilding getting into the Last 16 of the British Boys, a remarkable achievement considering it’s a world-class field, and my old mate winning the Revidge Cannon, Martyn Brooks, who is part of the Lancashire’s Seniors Team.
Not a bad coach for someone from a little club like Heysham. Nearly got my status European Tour Coach badge; 27 years hard work but not far off. I’m blessed to have a great family and supporting crew, but this week will be hard top at Heysham G.C.

It's always great to get feedback from lessons and my latest comes from Mark.
"Hi Ryan,
Many thanks for the lesson yesterday, I hope you noticed how skilfully I duffed my first three chips to show you the problem. Here’s the result 10 mins after the lesson, at least half were kick-ins with only a couple over four feet...and a couple would have gone in if they hadn’t hit other balls. Brilliant short game practice area, I wish I’d discovered it earlier" |
