John Hulley Golf Tournament

A fantastic day of Golf and friendship

History of The John Hulley Golf Cup

Back in 2012 we organised a ‘one off’ golf day, dedicated to the Liverpool legend, John Hulley. 

The main organiser a good friend of mine, Ray Parr. Ray had previously been Golf Captian at Formby Hall Golf Club, so it seemed perfect sense to hold the event there. It turn out to be a really great day but as I said earlier, it was a ‘one off’ and even so, it wasn’t possible to repeat the event the following year.
.
Move on several years and my son Stephen joined a golf society, which was captained by Barry Fairfield. I had been mulling over an idea of an annual golf tournament, again dedicated to the memory of John Hulley and I mentioned this to Stephen. Stephen discussed the idea with BarryFairfield who was happy to run with it.

The First Annual John Hulley Cup Golf Day came to fruition last year with a fantastic day at Alerton Golf Club. This year the event was moved to Formby Hall and after this incredible successful day. I am happy to report that the Third Annual John Hulley Cup Golf Day is already booked to take place this time next year, with Liverpool Heartbeat £500 to the good.
Thank you to all golfers taking part in the competition, who received the First Issue of Liverpool Heartbeat Magazine along with The Tom Murphy Sculptor Trail Map to enjoy a day out with their family finding hidden treasures of Liverpool
