With the weather conditions sometimes very ‘linksy’ at Formby Golf Club, we are delighted to introduce new Tacit Golf airflow flags from Tacit Golf North making their debut at Formby GC.
They look fantastic and should help reduce strain on the pins during inclement weather.
Great day on Saturday at Formby as the team took on Formby Artisans (FAGC).
A narrow victory for Formby followed by a beautiful lunch and drinks.

Congratulations to Formby’s scratch team on their victory in the Selwyn Lloyd at West Lancs GC.
With wins against Heswell GC, West Lancs, Wallasey Golf Club and S&A the team secured the trophy for the first time in 53 years for Formby!
Amazing win well done!!

Member Paul Kinnear put on a masterclass to land the Leeds Cup after a string of near misses earlier this month. Paul lost in a play-off to Phil Archer in 2022 and was second behind Daniel Croft last year but he made no mistake in getting his name on the oldest trophy in professional golf.
The 30-year-old opened with a four-under 65 and followed it up with a 64 on a blustery and wet second round to win by five from Haydn McCullen, Garry Houston and Jamie Howarth.
Amazing golf, well played Paul!
