Cup holders knocked out!

This week saw our Mens Handicap Team start the defence of the Cockerill Cup, which is a Greensomes Knockout event for the Fylde clubs. The first round was played at Home against St Annes Old Links in horrendous weather conditions last Tuesday 5th April. Halfway through the match, the games had to be abandoned due to the sheer amount of rain, with the scores level at 1-1. There was no one wetter than Norman Heywood that night, who thought that if he is going to be soaked wet through, then his golf clubs and trolley should too… He duly left the trolley switched on and it careered into the 14th lake!! The remaining 3 games were re-arranged throughout that week and we edged through to the quarter finals.

This was played away at Blackpool Park Golf Club, and we were narrowly edged out on the night 3-2. 3 of the 5 games went into sudden death, showing how close the match went. A great effort by the guys away from home, and we now look forward to a good league campaign starting with a tough match away at Royal Lytham next Tuesday.

Bonus Ball Winner!!

As you may remember from our last newsletter, we were giving away a PING Adjustable Putter on our "Bonus Ball" raffle. The winner this week was long standing member Bruce Laing, presented to him by Golf Ops Assistant Dan. Congratulations Bruce, and look out for our next bonus ball draw in the next coming weeks.

The putter is in its own display box with a limited edition headcover, a dozen RZN black balls and a booklet of authenticity, confirming that it is number 683 of 1000 made. It really is a collector's item or you may wish to use it just like Rory.
