Gathurst held it’s first invitation day of 2021 on Sunday 9th May. The day was well attended, and the weather was kind to us. Considering the amount of rain that fell the day before, many of our guests complimented us on how the course was presented and were delighted that it had dried quickly overnight.
Congratulations to the winners, don’t forget our next invitation day on Sunday 15th August.

Any golfer with a current CONGU handicap will be given a World Handicap System index on Monday, November 2, 2020.
Yes. In Great Britain & Ireland, the current handicapping system, which is maintained by CONGU, will be replaced by one single, global system. It is designed so golfers will be able to obtain and maintain a handicap index and use this to compete on a fair and equal basis across any format, on any course around the world.

The results of the Men’s Senior Open, held on Tuesday 7th July, were as follows:
Hello Everyone,
Little did I think that the first 6 months of my year as Captain would be such a unique experience!
It’s been great to get back to playing golf and to be able to get the first Major of the year under our belts.
I’d like to thank the Scratch Cup / Keith Memorial Trophy prize donors. On Saturday this was Tom King and Frank Fanning – sorry Frank I forgot to get a photo of you – unless you were social distancing off screen; on Sunday Brian Coupe and Stephen Haigh provided the prizes.
Congratulations to the winners, Andy Halladay is the Scratch Cup winner with 71+73 = 144 Gross, and Paul Willis won the Keith Haigh Memorial Trophy with 73+66 = 139 Nett. Considering the difficult conditions, these were fantastic scores.
It was great to see the clubhouse reopen, a massive thank you to Keith and his staff, David & Mickey for the catering, the greens staff, Pro shop, all the directors, and helpers. A special thanks you, the members, for sticking to the rules during these difficult times and making the opening of the club house a great success.
Ben
