Preparations are well underway for the 2021 season for the Rabbits and Inter teams from High Gosforth Park.
The first event for the Inter team is at Wearside GC on 17th April, while the Rabbits start a week later on 24th April at Bishop Auckland GC.
Both teams have 9 fixtures this year and a team of 8 HGP players are required at each event.
For the 2021 season the handicap range to qualify to play in either team has been amended slightly, where players with a Handicap Index between 7.0 and 14.4 play for the Inter team, while players with a Handicap Index between 14.5 and 28 qualify to play for the Rabbits team.
An HGP male member, over age 18, can play in the events, so if you fancy a game of competitive golf, representing your club, playing in one or at multiple events, please get in touch with Iwan Owen for the Inter team or Tommy Watson for the Rabbits team.
The full fixture lists are posted on the “Rabbits” section of this web site, along with some more general information about the teams.
At last we have a date for golf restarting if all goes to plan.
Hopefully, by 29th March the sun will be shining, the course will be in great condition and we can get out there and enjoy ourselves again. Between now and then the Section Committees will be working to get ready for the day. There are a number of things that need to be clarified before booking will be open to members, not least of which are; will it be 2, 3 or 4 balls and what tee interval will be allowed. These will need to be clarified by England Golf and the Company.
Additionally, we will have lost a few competitions with the late start to the season and the Section Committees will have to decide which competitions need to be rearranged. So please give us a few weeks to get things clarified and we’ll update you as soon as we have anything new to share.
***** The Rules for the Men’s Knockout Competitions are now in the Men’s Section *****

Well December saw the return of golfers and staff back to Parklands , following an incredibly dry November the course was looking in great condition, unfortunately the weather had other ideas for the opening weekend, where we had over two inches in as many days.
Having such a wet period and the amounting golf being played, the greens team are having to manage the traffic around the course , best they can!. This is to protect the course as much as possible, as well as giving the golfer the best possible course they can.
Work has continued at the first , pulling the main drain from the pond up to the green, connecting the greens drainage system to its outlet , which is already performing extremely well.
Work to the fairway bunkers will begin this week,with them being reshaped into our new style of bunkering
Greens and tees winter fertiliser has been applied, which will keep them ticking over healthy during the winter months
Some greens have been treated with a fungicide, to help fight off any unwanted disease on the playing surface, which has always been easy with the mild temperatures and wet conditions, but on a whole ,we’re very pleased
The greens team would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy & healthy new year. We look forward to seeing you all, for a better 2021!
