Re: John Llewellyn

Rumour has it Boysnope golf club in Eccles has been bought by Peel holdings and will no longer be a golf club.

Think its going to be an extension of Barton airfield.

Re: John Llewellyn

Pretty sure that a course where i spent many saturdays as a teenager learning the game has now gone, it opened as "Osiers Farm" in 1990 or so and later changed its name to Petworth Golf Club. Been put back to farmland i beleive in the last few years.

Thanks. I think it was also called Petworth Downs Golf Club. Do you know the date or year of closure?

Re: John Llewellyn

Peover Golf Club in Cheshire which is near to me closed its doors a month or so a go to turn in to a Wedding Venue!
There are some very disgruntled member as the club went into administration and just shut the doors, members turning up for a comp being turned away. Run as a typical propriertorial club owned by farmers which just had all the income hoovered up by the family.

Mark, thank you for confirming the closure of Peover GC, it's a really bad time for the members in a situation like this, unfortunately it's not uncommon nowadays.

I will put an entry on the GML website to preserve the short history of the club. Would you by any chance have a scorecard for the Peover course?

I have heard that Liskeard G&CC in Cornwall may also be closing. I may have to start another thread to confirm this.

If anyone (former members etc) can help with information regarding recently closed courses I would love to hear from them.
Please "Contact Me" with information through my free website Golf's Missing Links www.golfsmissinglinks.co.uk
Unfortunately there seems to be a glut of recent closures and I would like to record the history of the clubs on the website before they disappear into the ether.

Does anyone have any information regarding the possible closure of Liskeard G&CC in Cornwall in November 2014?
