Welcome to Formby & Freshfield Golf Society

This is the first iteration of our new website. Over the coming weeks, various new features and updates will appear.

This website was created so that all the current members and guests of the Formby & Freshfield Golf Society (FFGS) can easily access information relating to the society from a central location.
It is also a method by which members and guests can keep in touch with each other and see what is planned for the future. We currently have 27 members but have a limit of 32, so there are still places up for grabs. If any members have friends who are interested in joining, then please get in touch.

I hope you find the website interesting and informative and prompts all you members to help with providing regular content.

Latest Competition - North Wales Golf Club

20 fighting fit golfers turned up to a glorious sunny morning in Llandudno. There was very little wind and everything was set up for a fantastic days golf. Six members had played Conwy on the previous day as a warm up, which obviously helped John Nelson, who came in with 42 points to win the day. What a handicap cut that is going to be!  Pete Fahy won Longest Drive, Steve Clarke got Nearest the Pin and the Wooden Spoon was won with 25 points. A number of Matchplays were decided with John Nelson, Mike Bower, Colin Davies and Evan Bale coming out on top.

To end the day, there was a lovely roast beef dinner and Everton beat Hull 5 -1. What more could you ask for. Perfect!!

Recent Adventure

A 12 strong group of golfers, including 10 FFGS members, ventured to Nevada, USA to play 5 rounds of desert canyon golf just an hour’s drive north of Las Vegas. Our base was the town of Mesquite and we played 5 fantastic courses including Wolf Creek, rated the 4th hardest course in USA. Full details are available by clicking the “Venues” tab.

Top 10 Golf Caddy Comments

• Golfer: Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake.
  Caddy: Think you can keep your head down that long?
• Golfer: I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course.
  Caddy: Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth.
• Golfer: Do you think my game is improving?
  Caddy: "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now.
• Golfer: Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?
  Caddy: Eventually.
• Golfer: You've got to be the worst caddy in the world.
  Caddy: I don't think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence.
• Golfer: Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a distraction.
  Caddy: It's not a watch - it's a compass.
• Golfer: How do you like my game?
  Caddy: Very good sir, but personally, I prefer golf.
• Golfer: Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?
  Caddy: The way you play, sir, it's a sin on any day.
• Golfer: This is the worst course I've ever played on.
  Caddy: This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago.
• Golfer: That can't be my ball, it's too old.
  Caddy: It's been a long time since we teed off, sir.
