This regular fourball celebrated the occasion in a proper manner and hope to make it an annual event.
No names, no guessing, no prizes. Look at the weather!
The Ladies’ Section held an Afternoon Tea on Sunday 6th June for those participating in this year’s Ladies Get Into Golf initiative.
The gathering was organised by Elaine King (Ladies’ Captain), with the Afternoon Tea supplied by Dave Chapman and funded by by the club’s Marketing Sub-Committee.
Ladies Get into Golf has been running for several weeks now, with lessons provided by Scott Houghton of Clarke’s Golf. More than 20 ladies are participating in the programme.

Every year Leasowe Golf Club host the Mockbegger Competition. The format comprises of both individual and team competitions, and teams from the Society of Liverpool Golf Clubs are invited to take part. The first Mockbegger took place in 1991 to celebrate the Leasowe’s centenary year, it has since become an extremely competitive and well supported competition.
This year 16 teams took part, each team comprising of four players; a Captain or past Captain, a player with a handicap of 11 or under, a player with a handicap of 12 or over, and a Junior or Intermediate aged up to 30 years.
Gathurst’s team this year was Alex Priestley (Junior Captain 2021), Doug Pickering (Junior Organiser), Ben Johnson (Captain 2021), and Ian Thompson (Chair of Greens).
Although we have had some success in the individual categories in the past, this is the first time a team from Gathurst has won the main trophy!
We would like to extend our thanks to Leasowe Golf Club for a fantastic day, we look forward to defending the trophy next year.
