Captain's Charity Day

Hassocks Golf Club hosted its annual Captain's Charity Day last weekend. Over 80 golfers played Saturday afternoon in the aid of raising money for The Paediatric Diabetes Service of The Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital. Several events were held during the day; a tombola, a raffle, an auction and a race night after the golf. Thanks to everyone who took part and contributed to the day, a fantastic sum of £3,175 was raised on the day.

Congratulations to team 'HGMS One' (pictured here)who won the competition with a score of 130 points - the format was the best 3 scores from 4. The winning team was made up of Lee Murray, Howard Lloyd, Matt Roberts and Rikki Jackson.

'Take a Leak' finished second on 128 points, team members were Colin Gush, Haydn Gush, Wade Ayling and Paul Gumbrell. 'TBC' completed the top three on 126 points, team members were Tom Aye-Moung, Ben Johnson, Steve Wyatt and Bob Shrieves-Yeates.


The men's individual competition was won by visitor Steve Tappenden. He returned a score of 44 points playing off a handicap of 12. Jon Aikens finished second on 43 points and Steve Baugh finished 3rd on count back with 40 points. The ladies individual competition was won by Amanda Warren with 36 points with Linda Alford finishing second on 35 points, congratulations Amanda.

The nearest the pins were won by Jon Aikens (6th), Rob Hook (10th), Bob Shrieves-Yeates (13th), Sid Fisher (17th) and Ian Osborne (4th in 2 shots).




Last Monday the Seniors Section held their Club Championship. 

Congratulations to Norman Whiting who won the Seniors Cup. Norman returned with a gross 76 to win the competition by 3 shots from Malcolm Combes. Malcolm Olliver completed the top three with a gross 82. As well as becoming Seniors Champion for the next 12 months Norman also became a single figure golfer, reducing his handicap to 9.3. 

The nett competition was won by Malcolm Combes with a fantastic nett 62. Norman Whiting finished second with a nett 66 betting Stephen Agar on count back.

The over 70's nett competition was won by Les Moore with a nett 68.

Kathleen Rider Foursomes - The team of Janet Ridden, Kathy Sage, Margaret Crook and Olga Jeffs travelled to Copthorne Golf Club on 17th June to compete in the above County competition. Both pairings had to play off reduced combined handicaps and, against the best teams in the county, finished a creditable 37th out of 49. Kathy and Janet were one of only 25 pairs from 98 to achieve a score of 30 or more points, a good effort from their reduced handicap. 

Invitation Day - 14 pairs played on a lovely sunny day on 25th June in our annual Invitation Day. The course was in fabulous condition with the fast greens proving tricky for some of our visitors. We held a ball, bottle and sock sweep and raised £70 for this year's charity, a terrific effort. The runners up were Ann Austin and Katie Taylor (Worthing), the winners being Janet Ridden and Pat Currie (Holtye).




Last Wednesday we held out annual Titleist Demo Day. The event was well attended with the Titleist Custom Fit expert, Jack, fitting numerous people on the day. All experiencing the fantastic equipment available from Titleist this year.

Titleist Vokey SM5 wedges

From deep greenside rough, use your bunker technique. Move the ball forward in your stance, open the face and keep your torso rotating to the finish. The new grooves in Titleist’s Vokey SM5 wedges will help too; tests show they increase backspin by up to 500rpm from long grass.

Take advantage of our expertise

It’s easy to trial a friend’s driver when your form with the woods dips. And whilst you might stumble across better results, long term it’s not the answer. With our expertise we can determine the proper loft and shaft flex that will suit your swing and, ultimately, save you shots.
