WIGAN COUNCIL have decided NOT to re-open the Golf Course on Wednesday December 2nd. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH TIER 3 RESTRICTIONS – they will re-open Haigh Hall Golf Course. The Golf Club has had no say in this matter – it is purely down to Wigan Council and ‘Inspiring Heathy Lifestyles’. If you wish to complain about this matter please E-mail: info@penningtongolfclub.co.uk and we will send your complaint on to the Council.
(The draw for the competitions will be made 3 days prior to the competition start)
Mr Captain walked the Course yesterday and said that the fairways were firm to soft underfoot, with the usual exceptions: 3rdd fairway from the tee to the fairway bunker especially in the dip was quite muddy, and the left hand side of the 5th fairway, especially over the brook crossing the fairway. The brooks and streams were at a low level and slow flowing. The course has been open and we have played in conditions a lot worse that this.
In view of the recent announcement by the Government concerning the increase in the number of cases of Covid 19 (Coronavirus) in Greater Manchester, Mr Captain has decided to cancel this year’s outing to Ellesmere Golf Club. It will be rescheduled for June 2021. Deposits will be returned to all those who have paid.
