New SSS for the Ladies

richard — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:32:05 +0000

Following a reassessment of the Ladies course, the local union have altered the Standard Scratch of the Ladies course from 71 to an SSS of 73 (level par). This shows the course to be more difficult than was previously judged by the union, and should improve the handicaps of the Ladies. Please note the Score Cards will say 71 for the time being until the next batch arrives.

Halloween Gruesomes

richard — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 13:01:40 +0000

This weekend could turn very ugly as the annual gruesomes competition approaches. The format is very similar to greensomes with both players driving off, then picking one ball to continue with, playing alternate shots until the hole is completed. However, the evil twist in gruesomes is that instead of you picking the best drive to play on with, your opponents will choose the worst for you. Pick your opposing pair wisely as things could turn nasty!!!!

The Home of the Hole In 1!!

richard — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:56:52 +0000

Wishaw Golf Club seems to be becoming common ground with the sought after hole in one! This summer has seen a string of the glorious “1″, with many occurring in individual strokeplay competitions, much to the disgruntlement of the Insurers. Matthew Smith, Jim Dowling, Ian Atkinson, Martin Stokes and Bob Biddle have all achieved a competitive hole in one this season to the fortunate benefit of those in the club house bar at the right time!!!

Josh Hughes won the Directors’ Rosebowl with a 5 and 3 victory over Ian Nicholls in the Final last week. The rosebowl is a tough major to win with competitors having to qualify from a medal event to proceed to the knockout matchplay rounds. Congratulations to Josh for a great win, and also to Ian Nicholls who then went on to win The Littlewood Cup days later.
