Great for exercise, socialising, relaxing and 100% mentally stimulating, thank you to the game we love (or hate)

Great to see Raphael Jacquelin at Formby yesterday, here is what he had to say.
"What a place! First time for me

beautiful!

A rather breezy overview from our Secretary Manager of our 8th and 9th holes, favourites for many through the turn.
Course looked in great nick yesterday
#1884
A favourite of many members and visitors, Formby's 9th hole has undergone a fabulous change with the extension of the fairway to create a eye catching 'dog leg' left to right.

'Formby is one of those courses you have to play, it should be on every golfers hit list, the staff were very friendly, the clubhouse and the facilities excellent and then there's the course,certainly without me driving many miles it's got to be the best 18 holes of golf around.'
Formby Golf Club are delighted to announce that
@JoeBarnes24

'Outstanding course, one of the best courses I have ever played. Each hole was very challenging in it's own way although 6-14 were particularly tough.'
Nice to see golf is very much back on the radar, members playing more than ever and enjoying the weather and course, certainly more appreciation for what we have

Signature hole number 8, Par 5, 2nd shot, 215 yards to the flag on the top tier of the green, trouble left, trouble right, trouble long with the best miss being short of the green, whats your club and play?
#1884
Our team at Formby are doing everything they can to help, we have bar staff on the course divetting, locker room employees undergoing internal and external cleaning and everyone mucking in to keep the club running to its optimum in these difficult circumstances.

#1884
A great shot of what many consider the best stretch on the course, 7 running toward us with 8 and 9 directly to the coast. Tough holes, a real challenge
#1884
Fabulous work completed during lockdown including the new walkway from tee to green on 16, removal of scrub and tree line replaced by some new dunes. Looks natural, looks fantastic
#1884
Congratulations to Formby Hare winner Greg Holmes from Royal Birkdale. Greg, a previous Hare winner, shot two amazing rounds of 69 and 70! Very well played and a worthy victor
