Welcome to all members and visitors to the web site of Birstall Golf Club.

I am honoured and privileged to be the Club Captain for one of the oldest Golf Clubs in the county for 2011 and along with the Lady Captain Clare Bailey we are looking forward to having a successful season.

I hope the 1st Team led again by Martin Weaver will do well in the top division of the Scratch League. Good luck to all the other Team Captains, let's hope they do as well as last year.

Both myself and Clare are looking forward to the social side of the club in the next 12 months. My chosen charity for this year is LOROS a local hospice. Clare's chosen charity is Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust. Both charities hope to benefit from social events taking place throughout the year. Also there are the usual bunkers on the 9th; if golfers find themselves in one, please put a donation in the charity tins in the bar.

Wishing all members and visitors happy and enjoyable golf for 2011.

Trevor Walford / Clare Bailey.
