We hope you managed to celebrate Easter weekend in some way, shape or form – especially, with an Easter Egg or two. My Easter was celebrated with a beer or 2! There is a scale of turning into a stay at home drinker, or a new isolated athlete. I'm the drinker, especially with the sun being out!
This week we have stayed busy at home with painting fences (again) and my partner is now planting every plant ever made; sunflowers potted everywhere!! I think Ryan is running out of things to do at home! What have you guys been doing to keep the boredom away? Let's hope this newsletter will give you a little release from the home and bring you back into the confines of the HGC, I've got a few things to share with you this week; so let's get stuck in Here's what's coming up: - A fresh look at our Short Game Area and it's NEW sponsor for 2020!
- A quick glance at the Course with a new member of staff.
- A Heysham Golf Club Quiz we are running on our Facebook Page.
- A reminder of our NHS Draw.
- Looking at our Catering Team and what they have been up to this week!

Time for a freshen up for our Short Game Area
|
Despite the virus stopping all play at Heysham, we thought we would bring you some exclusive pictures of our Award Winning Short Game Areas. This year we have joined up officially with Callaway Golf. They have not only helped with re-newing our signage around the areas, but will also supply our balls for use on the area! We are glad we got all the signage done before lockdown, but with the sun beaming and the trees seeing life again, we got a couple of pictures this week!
We will also have the full Callaway MD 5 Jaws wedges available in demo for you to try at ANY time for no extra cost! |
 | What a View!
| A beautiful look right across our short game areas! We are hoping these areas are jam packed when we return to playing! |
|
 | The Entrance
| As always we ask you to check the rules before you practice! |
 | The Pitching Green!
| New signs give us the back drop to our astro pitching green! This will look class in the summer months! |
|
| A new member of Green Staff? |
The Golf Course is still getting all it's essential work done by the father and son team of Dave and Adam Hutchinson. I'm sure we will all pass on our thanks for their hard work during these troublesome times and I know they will be excited to have us all play on that immaculate golf course! But has it just been them 2 working hard or do they have some help? |
 | Adam in action!
| Adam hard at work mowing, with the warmer weather it has become paramount to cut, cut, cut! |
 | | Hutchinson number 3 | We promise you he's a good boy, and he's an excellent 3rd member of staff during the course being closed! Barney keeping his brother and Dad on their toes! |
|
| The Heysham Golf Club Quiz! |
 | On Facebook we are holding a very unique Quiz, giving you a chance to win either a FREE round of golf OR £20 on your Heysham Golf Club Bar Card! We have taken 18 pictures of our golf course, these candid pictures will make it tough for you to guess the hole! All you have to do is try and get the order correct! So for example, the picture above (not in the quiz). What hole is that looking down? Just make sure you follow on Facebook by clicking here. |

Our Catering Team are smashing It!
|
If you have seen on Facebook our Catering Team have been smashing the afternoon teas, egg cup lunches and Sunday roasts! But this week they are starting a new initiative for the future! They have launched their Community Interest Company, giving back to the local community! Once started, their aim is to: - Deliver hot meals to those struggling financially
- Reach out to Primary Schools once their back open, educate them on the importance of breakfast, showing them what they can make with basic ingredients
- Run cooking classes with families facing financial hardships, those who may rely on food banks. We will teach them to cook using them ingredients.
- Launch an interactive cooking app (long term goal that one)
- The final plan is to for the CIC to act as a pathway to employment through a growing number of projects where we can grow our own food!
Chefs Catering will buy the produce, putting back into the CIC!

We know it's Important to stay fit & healthy, but we can't do that if we cannot play golf! So what about our mental health as well? If you feel you need a chat about golf, the world, life or anything (except the virus!!) then feel free to chat to me by giving me a call. My number is 07792866860, if you want to text me, WhatsApp me or give me a call then please feel free! If I miss the call, I promise I will call you back. Remember, we are your Professional Team! Here for you if you need us! |
What a response to last week's quiz! Hopefully, you all enjoyed it and learnt a thing or two on the way. For this week, you'll need to match the golfer with their nickname. It starts relatively easy with a few that we think the majority of you will get, but there are certainly a few curveballs in there that you may have never heard of before! Click the link below to take part and, remember, have fun!
