In view of the recent "extended winter", when it was not possible for most clubs in the area to run Qualifying Competitions, it has been decided to extend the time for players to have 10 WHS Competition rounds, from the previous 12 months to the previous 18 months, before the date of a competition.
The Houldsworth Start Sheet had been full for several months, but because of recent withdrawals, there are now tee times available at 12.20 and 14.50. The Houldsworth is now a Better Ball Stableford for men aged 18 and over, and who are both members of the same club. Leigh Golf Club on 12th May. - entry fee £44 for a pair.
The Balfour Cup still has some morning tee times between 9.00 and 9.30 am and several more between 11.30 and 12.30 pm, plus a couple of late afternoon slots. Lord Balfour himself walked the Disley fairways on a regular basis 130 years ago. The only Disley member ever to win the Balfour Cup, is the current B&H Treasurer, Steve Misell, who won it in 2011, when it was hosted by Disley Golf Club.
