Storm Bert crept in last Monday evening and left a trail of destruction in his wake!
Our poor green keepers were left with several days worth of restorative work, trees to be cleared up, pine needles and leaves to be hoovered up and flooding to contend with! The snow initially closing the course on Tuesday and Wednesday then again on Friday morning. We did manage some golf on Thursday and Saturday last week plus Tuesday this week but other than that it's been a dismal 10 days.
If the forecast is to be believed, temperatures are on the rise and we are hopeful golf will be played from tomorrow morning onward. We will, as always, send an update at around 7am tomorrow (Friday)
The swing shed has been in use quite a bit during the recent cold snap! Members feedback has been great and I hope to see more members taking advantage of the room while the weather is against us. 4 players can play 18 holes in about 2 hours, it costs £60 for that time, so £15 per player, which is not much more than a large bucket of balls in the cold at the range.
The AGM date was publicised during the week, Tuesday 17th December, starting at 19:00 sharp. As per the previous four years, we ask for any members questions in advance of the night, which enables a more thorough response and also expedites proceedings on the night.
The Christmas Draw will go live this weekend. Tickets are £2 per square or 6 squares for £10. There will be numerous prizes including the meat raffle, all in one big draw.... As always, the first five tickets drawn out are awarded as below, everyone after that can pick from the prizes available if their number is drawn!
1st Prize = Moto Caddy SE trolley
2nd Prize = One dozen pro V1's per month for 12 months
3rd Prize = Under Armour Outfit of your choice (shoes, socks, shorts & shirt)
4th Prize = One Pint of either Draft Lager, Beer or Cider every week for a year
5th Prize = Moto Caddy Dry Series Cart Bag
Depending on tickets sold, there will be circa 35 prizes.
