RETURN TO COMPETITION GOLF
HPGC are making some tentative steps towards returning to some form of competitive golf. The playing of qualifying competitions has been set up with the guidance of England Golf, however we will continue to monitor this situation on a weekly basis.
Play Safe Stay Safe
England Golf has been working closely with partners from across the sport, including The R&A, other Home Nations and industry associations to draw together a framework under which they believe golf can safely be played on its return after the lockdown from Coronavirus. They also advise that clubs may choose to run competitions from Monday 1 June provided all social distancing and safety rules are strictly observed.

6th Time Lucky for Rowly!
Rowly Jones won his first Club Championship title by defeating his good golfing friend and defending Champion, Nigel Chesters.
After a tight game in the morning round on the Championship course, Rowly went into the afternoon round on the Hawkstone course with a 2 hole lead and when Rowly won 3 holes on the bounce he extended his lead to 5 up.
On the 9th hole Rowly chipped in from the edge of the green for two with Nigel sitting 10ft away from the pin after hitting a great shot in only to proceed to miss his putt!
So the match ended on the 11th with Rowly winning by 8 and 7.
Very well done Rowly!
Meanwhile, Molly Moore won her second Ladies' Club Championship title with some wonderful golf to beat defending Champion, Louisa Goff, also by 8 & 7.
