This senior’s competition is run annually and this year it was blessed by the sun gods, being held on a very sunny day in between days of otherwise heavy rain. A blustery wind and some tricky pin positions added spice to the proceedings and made for a suitably challenging day that was enjoyed by all that took part. Despite the rain of the previous days the course was in excellent condition and was highly praised by many of the 83 visitors who were among the 132 competitors on the day. A special thank you must go to Adam and his team for providing us with a course to be proud of.

The day was topped off by a superb meal. Tony’s home made steak pie was a massive hit and received many positive comments. The friendliness, efficiency and good humour of Melanie and the ladies running the drinks service, and of Dale serving the food, added greatly to the proceedings making sure that our guests were made to feel very welcome at Handsworth GC.

It was gratifying to see that many of this year’s visitors were returning visitors that had played in previous years. We hope that you enjoyed your day and that we will see you again at one of our future events.

It was a pleasure to welcome players from England and Wales to Handsworth for this year’s Bridget Jackson Bowl. There was some excellent golf played including the first ever ‘Hole in One’ achieved in the history of the event. Amelia Wan of Hollinwell scored her ace on the 124 yard 17th.

Congratulations to the winner Lottie Woad of Farnham.

Many thanks to my fellow members and to the club staff for their assistance with this event. It is very much appreciated.

The competition was run on Thursday 30 July 2020 in great weather and with a marvellous turn out. Only hampered by the restraints caused by Coronavirus, one hundred and thirty six players all enjoyed what was unanimously reported back as a great day out on a great course.

The members of HGC are lucky to be able to enjoy a course fantastically prepared and presented by Adam and his excellent team but it was particularly gratifying to hear the positive comments made by our visitors as they finished their round.

Of the 136 total players 86 were visitors, some travelling many miles to attend. We hope you enjoyed your day at Handsworth including the after round meal provided by our catering team which, again, received many complimentary remarks. We hope to see many of you again at future events.
