My grandfather, Fred Haskins, grew up in Hoylake. He talked often of playing or caddying at the Hoylake Golf Club. He brought his knowledge and love of the game to the United States where he became the golf professional at the Columbus Country Club in Columbus, Georgia. He dedicated his life to teaching youngsters the game and inspired many who have become pro-class golfers. He was inducted into the Georgia Hall of Fame and The Haskins Award for Golf is named after him. It is awarded to the nation's most outstanding collegiate golfer annually.
He reminisced often about his life in Hoylake, so when I found this web site, I was thrilled and just had to write to thank you for giving my grandfather his start in a life filled with golf. He passed his gift on to many, many people and we are very proud. Sincerely,

My grandfather was your grandfather's brother, John Haskins. He was well known as "The One-armed Golfer" but I remember him more for his skill at billiards which he played holding the rest and cue together in his one hand. My mother, Elsie Haskins,was also a keen golfer but I'm sorry to say my sister and I have never played. I came across this site after following up a letter written by my uncle Syd to my uncle John in 1939 while Syd was staying with his uncle Fred, your grandfather, in Atlanta.

It was during our hot spell here in Hoylake that the Royal Liverpool golf course came to life, as indeed did Hoylake.
Walking down Market street I recognized Stanley Lunt , a man whose mother i had nursed at the Hoylake Cottage Hospital(HCH) up to the grand age of 103.Introducing myself to him once more we caught up with time gone by (18 years), he informed me he was on his way to give a talk to residents at the HCH about the golf course and how he had played many a round with a one armed golfer!.
What a delight to meet somebody who had actually played golf with Joseph Haskins related to my husband Robert Clothier, and of whom my husband had proudly told me of. Roberts. mother is Ann Clothier (nee;whitley)whose mother was i think Lucy Haskins.

My grandfather, Thomas Haskins, was your garandfather's brother. He too became a golf pro at Holywood in Nothern Ireland. There were 6 brothers and they all worked in their father's (Arthur) golf business making golf balls and clubs. Joseph Haskins was also well known in Hoylake as the 'one-armed' golfer.
Do email on david.wright@mary2000.freeserve.co.uk as I'm putting together a history of the Haskins' family of Hoylake.

David, My Grandmother was a Haskins (although I am unsure from which brother we descend)and her brother's family still reside in the Wirral, so the Haskins name continues on.
My father grew up in Hoylake and I believe the sports shops were still family owned in the fifties, where my grandmother worked. I can put you in touch with my father who would be happy to share his memories.

I read Jean Hatchechubee's review with interest. I think my grandmothers brother "Alec Ellis" was a professional golfer based at Hoylake. I have a golf driver with his name on "Alec Ellis. Hoylake" He also went to America and I am told he designed or helped to design some of the golf coursres in America. Can anybody throw some light on this?

Hoylake is a very good course. The greens are very well presented. It is a very good course for beginners and high handicappers.
