A beautiful balmy September day played host to this year’s Atchley and Coronation Cup.  Qualifying by having played in the Autumn Meeting it is the honour of the ladies to invite a gentleman to be their partner in this prestigious foursomes medal competition.

It was a large field, 24 couples went out to play for the Coronation Cup, which is for the best Scratch score and The Atchley Challenge Cup which is for the best nett score for the winning couple and the Atchley Cup for the winning lady!

Congratulations go to all our winners, a great day was had by all!!!

The last game of the year was played by the Ladies’ section today.  A fun 9 hole Christmas Bring and Win (Drawn) Competition in which 36 ladies took part.

Some of the ladies dressed in festive sparkle brought a smile and a sharp reminder that it’s only a week to go to the big day!

The weather held for us, quite mild and not too wet underfoot.  Going off both the front and back nine, it enabled everyone to finish within a short period. 

In first place on the front nine and winning on countback was Theresa Williamson and Sarah Brook with 16 pts, followed in second, with the same number of points by their playing partners Chris Kernohan and Diane Allen.

On the back nine top spot was taken by Liz Barrett and Jenny Steele with 16pts closely followed by Carol Hartley and Vikki Kindle with 14 pts.  

Margaret May presented a prize to the overall winners of the competition (on countback), Theresa May and Sarah Brook.

A hot cup of tea and mince pies followed after which the ladies chose their “Secret Santa” gifts.

Congratulations Ladies, have a fantastic Christmas and New Year wishing all our shots to be good ones!!

32 HHGC Seniors made their annual pilgrimage to Cowdray Park on Friday 27th July. The course was as usual in fabulous condition helped by fairway watering. 

The weather was hot and humid as we have got used to. Fortunately the forecasted lightning/thunder and heavy rain stayed away, although the last team in got a sprinkling.
