Eric Gluth tees off at Oswestry Golf Club

Oswestry Golf Club was among many that welcomed back golfers for the first time since the coronavirus lockdown on March 23.

The course has been maintained over the past few weeks by a skeleton staff lead by head greenkeeper Gary Barnfield. A small management team have been working away behind the scenes to ensure the course would be ready to open up in good time.

Eric Gluth and John Gallagher were the first two to tee off.

John Evans, club secretary said: "It is great to finally see golfers back out on the course and we’d just like to thank our members for their patience and support through the shutdown."
