Captain’s Message

   Mr Paul G. Davies - Captain 2010

Dear Members,  

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all, members old and new to the 2010 season of Hoylake Golf Club. I joined this great club in 1979, when Stuart Jones was Captain and he still plays today, though mainly with the Seniors. I have served on the committee since 1998, 7 years as Competitions Secretary meeting many members as I’ve handed out Sweep money and balls to winners and runners-up.

The Captain’s Drive-In this year is on Saturday 27th March, at 6.40am for the early birds and 9.40am for our later risers. I hope by then that the winter snow has cleared and the course has dried out sufficiently to herald the start of a good season for weather and a successful season for as many as possible of our members on that opening day.

The fixture list is similar to last years but there are some differences so PLEASE READ THE NOTICE BOARD or check the website as these are the ways by which the Committee will communicate with Club members. 

There will be no competition on Saturday 5th June as the course will be closed for the Ladies Municipal Championships. The following Friday, 11th June, the Club day out will be at EATON GOLF CLUB and I hope as many of you as possible, will join me to enjoy this lovely course. Please see the notice board for further details. On Saturday 19th June, the course will be closed for THE WEST WIRRAL OPEN so book your place early!

July is a busy month with Captain’s Day on the 10th, the Competition with the Ladies on the 17th and President’s Day on the 31st.

On the 14th of August we have the Club Championship, 36 Holes off scratch handicap, so I hope we’ll have lots of low handicap members who are fit by the middle of August. For lesser mortals (including me) there’s the usual 18 Hole medal competition.

September 18th brings FINALS DAY, with the final of the Knock-Outs, Singles and Pairs, the Captain's team v the Pro's team, and the start of the Ryder Cup, which continues and finishes on Sunday 19th. The format for the Rosenberg Cup (Pairs Knock-Out) will be Four Ball Better Ball, as I believe this is the best and fairest format for a pairs event.

The last fixture of the year is on 5th November with 18 holes, Annual Dinner and Prize Presentation at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club. I’m so pleased to be back at what is considered to be the best venue for our end of year celebrations.

Wirral League matches are a very enjoyable part of Municipal Golf on the Wirral when we play home and away at Arrowe Park , Brackenwood, Ellesmere Port, The Warren and West Hoyle Golf Clubs. A little socialising after the match always adds to the enjoyment of the day and I recommend that you take part and add your name to the list when it goes on the notice board. I think we must be about due to win the League again this year?

The handicap system this year has been altered slightly by the English Golf Union and may affect those of you who play in away competitions. You will now need to complete 3 rounds of golf at your Home Club and submit the cards, in order to maintain your handicap as 'active'.

A Prayer to the Golfing Gods. Last year we enjoyed some great weather under Dave Denton’s Captaincy and I would like some more of the same please, for the 2010 season!

This year, as many of our previous Captains have done, I wish to join as many of you as possible for your Saturday morning rounds throughout the season. So please remember to cross your name off the Starting Sheet if you can’t play on the day.

Finally, let me wish all of you a very enjoyable and successful year of Golf.

Cheers 

Paul G. Davies

Captain 2010
