Meet the sections
You have met the golf team, the Captain and the club representatives… I will now be introducing the golf sections within the club and what they partake in. The Seniors Section is up first -
The De Vere Seniors' Section is a thriving community of 47 Members which provides a regular playing core of 28 Members - ably administered by the elected committee. Seniors' Day is Monday when the Competition Secretary 'runs' events throughout the year; Winter League, Summer League and other ad hoc competitions based on numbers and weather. There are also other regular events throughout the year, such as Matchplay Knockout Competition, Shield Competition (Medal) and The Frog.
This year [2014] the Seniors' Section has provided a team to compete in the Fylde Seniors' Golf League (FSGL). The league comprises 9 Teams that play home and away alternately and normally every week throughout the summer. The Seniors' Section Secretary has recently reported, "We are hanging in there at 4th place with a couple of games in hand." Fairhaven at home this week! The match against Fairhaven on Thursday 12 June 2014 resulted in a 4-2 Win for Herons' Reach; the return match was this Monday gone, and we had another great 4-2 win! After 9 matches Herons' Reach remains in 4th place with all the leaders yet to play.
Each Seniors' Section has its characters (see the picture) and we seem to have more than our fair share; too many to identify and embarrass (although you probably couldn't embarrass them even if you tried). If you would like to be part of the set up for the Senior Section then please email your interest and contact details to paul.heaton@devere-hotels.com you would need to be a full member of the golf club and be over the age of 50 to qualify (60 to be eligible for the team).
The next few weeks will comprise of the ladies section & Men's handicap team.

Ferguson Trophy
Last weekend saw the first trophy being played for in 2014, which is the Ferguson Trophy. This was a 2 man team event where both Stableford scores counted, so consistency was the key in this one! There were some very consistent scores on the day and congratulations to Steve Norwood and Paul Wallis, who took victory with an impressive 79 points, beating the field by at least 4 shots! The top 3 were made up of, Steve Marshall and Danny O'Connell (75 pts) and Pete Morgan and Paul Clayton (71 pts acpo). Full results can be found on the club noticeboard.
