  • 18Th Revision Mackenzie Chronology
    The Project Front and Back Cover Artwork by Thomas Naccarato In the late 1990’s Nick Leefe and Bob Beck launched an effort to document the physical presence and movements of the great architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. That effort sparked club secretaries, historians, architects, professional writers, enthusiasts – in short, a global community of MacKenzie admirers – to share their knowledge. This, the 18th Revision of “The Dr. Alister MacKenzie Chronology,” is the latest product of that collective and continuing generosity, and once again expands considerably on the previous revision. Why are MacKenzie’s whereabouts important? A timeline establishes a foundation of fact. Upon this foundation researchers can build their narratives of history. Without this fact base, large gaps in time appear, and speculation is the all too-common and unfortunate result - the quality of scholarship is impoverished. The ramifications can be significant - original design features and perhaps entire courses disappear or suffer disfiguration, writings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, attributions are missed or made improperly. As readers, as golfers, and as caretakers of the game of golf, we suffer.

  • 2016 Archive Our Last Event Was Our First Nine Hole Competition Which
    2016 Archive Our last event was our first nine hole competition which was held at Whalley Golf Club, and was very successful in its first year. I should like to say a big thank you to all the Organisers of our competitions this year, who have worked tirelessly on our behalf. In 2017 we will be hosting the Northern Counties Veteran Ladies Championship at Pleasington Golf Club. The entry form will go onto the website after the Annual Meeting on Wednesday 12th October. Meanwhile, if you wish to look for accommodation, please click here for a list of hotels within a 5 mile radius of Pleasington Golf Club. Thank goodness we managed to play the Cecil Leitch at Rossendale on Monday 5th September. Our 5 club betterball was won with 41 points on a card playoff. Third and fourth prizes were also won on a card playoff. Congratulations to all the winners and let's look forward to our last event of the year on Monday 12th September at Whalley,- our first ever 9 hole competition. Once again we have become victims of the weather, and our team event at Leigh Golf Club had to be cancelled as the course went under water. All cheques have been cancelled and we hope we will be able to hold an event at Leigh sometime in the future. Our next event is on Monday 5th September at Rossendale Golf Club. It is our 5 club better ball event and we still have a couple of tee times available so please download an entry form from the Entry Forms page if you would like to play.
