Memorable Moment
Formby Ladies Golf Club has forged a reputation for being one of the top ladies courses in Britain and it hosts the annual Leveret competition, which always attracts a good field of top women golfers. In 1997, Elaine Ratcliffe shot a new course record 64 to win the Leveret Trophy - a fine score which has not been matched by many Curtis Cup players, before or since.

After his visit to the course, two-time Open Champion Greg Norman wrote in a letter to the club: "Over a hundred years old and still your course can stand the test of time. What a beautiful course. It clearly shows that courses do not have to be 7,000 yards-plus to be formidable".
