Timesheet Notice
With more limited time available for play and increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Only individual names will satisfy as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play with whom. All members are also urged to telephone the office if they wish to cancel a tee time that they have booked in the interest of fairness to all.
A full list of our fixtures and other information is available on our website:

Christmas Scramble
Following on from the success of our Captains’ Day Scramble on November 13th last when a huge number participated, it is proposed to have a Christmas Scramble on Sunday 18th December with a shotgun start at 1:00pm

Care of the Course
It has come to our attention that the scourge of pitch/plug marks on greens, is rearing its ugly head once more, not that it ever goes away permanently, just ask the greenkeeper and his fellow workers. Day in day out the course workers are doing their utmost to ensure the quality of the playing surfaces on the greens and it is soul destroying to be faced with unrepaired greens again. As stated previously, numerous visitors to our club in recent months have been complimentary on the quality and appearance of our golf course, please do your level best to keep it this way.
