President's Report
Saturday saw the final competition for the Junior golfers this year, and the fun game of a Texas Scramble gave the girls and boys a peak into playing as a team. Aaron Bridges, June Salt and Jonathan led the teams over 7 holes with every player providing at least one drive.
Golf was followed with tea and prize giving, which was also attended by the younger golfers and several parents. Crackers and table gifts made for a festive occasion. Each junior player received golf balls as prizes whilst the team leaders received a bottle of wine.
As always, the Juniors were so enthusiastic, well behaved and a pleasure to play with. Our thanks go to Jonathan not only for sending out the invites and arranging the teams but for all his work and enthusiasm during the year. He is already organising the available lessons in January so please sign up to join in these if you haven’t already done so.
Finally, just a word about our Junior Funds. Should you feel able to contribute something towards this account we would be very grateful.
And ‘finally’ finally thank you all for the wonderful response to the request for warm winter clothing which goes to Stone Pillow. Once again they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the members of our golf club. I will leave a couple of sacks in the foyer until after Christmas - just in case you are inundated with presents of new clothes.!!
Best wishes
