We have member John Stokes to thank for arranging sponsorship, Lookers proudly support the GGC ladies section.
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.

This weekend sees us playing for the Club Championship over two days. COVID-19 restrictions will impact on the course, and also in the clubhouse.
As always, local rules of the day are displayed on the noticeboard and in the Proshop, and it is the responsibility of ALL PLAYERS to familiarise themselves with ALL of these rules BEFORE PLAYING.
On completion of your round ALL PLAYERS MUST enter their score electronically, either using the HowDidIDo phone APP, or using the touch screen in the games room. Once you have entered your score electronically please put your signed scorecard in the box provided.
This is a two-day competition and it is vital that you complete the electronic score entry accurately. Scorecards will not be checked until 24 hours after the event as a COVID-19 safety measure. Your playing handicap WILL, however, be adjusted for Sunday using the scores you entered electronically.
Concerning the electronic entry of scores and the marking of scorecards:
Club systems V1 have now opened an on line score entry system for all singles competitions. In the near future they will have the same option for team events.
To enter your score you need to open HOWDIDIDO on either your mobile phone or using web browser. Only your score can be entered by this method.
Below is a guide to using this score entry system.
Cards will still need to be placed in the competitions box for ratification.
By using this system it will greatly reduce the amount of work needed to manually enter scores for everyone. We will continue to use this system even when the clubhouse has been opened. This will reduce the number of people using the touch screen.
The HowDidIDo APP can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
