What's been happening
Dear member
Another stop start week weather wise. Unfortunately, as I sit here typing the rain continues to fall, as do the smaller branches from many trees across the course. The green keepers certainly have thier work cut out this week trying to tidy the surfaces up ready for play.
Weather permitting we will also be vert-draining the fairways this week. Please give the tractor time and space should it be working on the same hole as you are playing.
Christmas events are now in full flow, the seniors held thier annual dinner on Friday evening which was, as usual, well supported. Unfortunately the mixed event was affected by storm Darragh, the golf had to be cancelled but the meal went ahead, thanks to our hardy members that braved the weather.
Feedback on the Christmas meal produced by our wonderful kitchen team has been great, my thanks to Emma and her team.
The Christmas carvery is open to all members this Sunday, service starts at 13:30.
Please book at the bar or email: events@themillbrook.com
If you're stuck for Christmas presents, both our teaching professionals can offer lesson vouchers for use during the 2025 season. Alternatively we can produce vouchers for use in the shop...
