Course Notice

Due to the glorious weather we are experiencing the Course is suffering to the extent that ‘cracks’ are appearing in the Fairways, some of which may ‘swallow’ a golf ball

As a temporary measure, all ‘cracks’, through the green, are deemed Ground Under Repair and relief may be taken by dropping the ball at the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole.

NB This ruling also applies to the ‘drainage slits’ cut in front of the 9 th Green.

Staffordshire County Junior Girls travelled to Leek Golf Club to play against Cheshire Junior Girls on Saturday 16th June. Unfortunately, the Staffordshire Juniors lost by 6 matches to 2, but really enjoyed their day at Leek.

Janet Clark, the Staffordshire County Representative said ' Although the girls lost the match, they really enjoyed playing on a challenging course, with beautiful views and scenery. We look forward to coming back again to Leek'.

In 2020, two junior girls' events will be held at Leek GC. In April, the individual County championships will be played, and in August, Leek will be the home of the Midlands and North Regional Finals.

More news on those two major competitions will be posted later.

They say mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun. Lady Golfers do too!

41 ladies took to the course on what must have been the hottest day of the year. Phew!

Andrew Baxter was the starter and he welcomed the ladies onto the first tee. Peter my husband was "David Bailey” for the day taking he photographs.

Well needed refreshments were enjoyed in the shade at the half way house (aka the Millennium Pavilion) where Pip and Gail were on hand to look after and spoil the ladies offering them ice cool glasses of freshly made Pimms and beautiful homemade cupcakes.

After completing the 18 holes the beautifully tanned ladies enjoyed a well-earned meal and a glass of something cool before the presentation of the prizes.

The winners were.
