CONDOLENCES

Our sincere condolences go out to loyal Club member Brian Hilliard and family on the recent death of Brian’s father and condolences also to stalwart Patsy Donnelly whose brother passed away last week.

TIMESHEETS

Time sheets apply for all club competitions. Please put up you’re name and those playing with you for your place on the Tee. Please remember: Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1^st Tee.

Owing to increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Only individual names will suffice as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play with whom.
