Hello golfers,

Shop news

Winter is here!

The weather has most definitely changed and it’s a lot colder out on the golf course. The best way to keep warm is to have plenty of layers to keep the warmth in and cold out. In the pro shop we have plenty of layers for sale from base layers to wind stoppers from Glenmuir, Callaway, Mizuno, Oscar Jacobson & ProQuip; come and take a look yourselves. I have just got one of the ProQuip gillets and wore it at the weekend and was amazed how warm it kept me and it doesn’t restrict your swing at all a great piece for winter golf.

Course news

Please be mindful...

When using the chipping green please be mindful of the soft turf due to the current weather conditions and please be careful to not take divots. If you do so, please replace the divot as we don’t want the facility to be destroyed and need to be re-turfed. The rule is to only use six balls at a time when chipping, so please stick to this. Thank you for your cooperation.

Competition news

Ladies 15 hole Stableford - Tuesday, 7th November

Silver Division Winner - Rosemary Hodges - 32 points.
Bronze Division Winner - Pam Bilson - 27 points.
Third Division Winner - Pearl Welsh - 21 points.

Pro Comp No 1 - Saturday, 11th November

First Division 0-28 combined handicap

First place - Tim Lee and Jevan Goddard - 47 points Back 9 25 points.
Second place - Eddie Gilder and Russell Allen - 47 points Back 9 32 points.

Second Division 29+ handicap combined

First place - Christopher Hallam and Keith Northridge - 47 points.
Second place - Rae Porter and Stephen Daniels - 45 points.
Third place - Adam Grundy and Tony Lymn - 43 points.

There were only three twos recorded and they were from Jevan Goddard, Dan Branson and Dave Button. Unfortunately Dan and Dave didn’t enter the twos sweep, so well done Jevan you collect all the money (£75.00).

During the course alterations, if any holes are closed (the 2nd and the 5th currently) we have decided the fairest way of going forward is to award everyone two points a hole and when the 18 are back in action this won’t be use. This will have affected the order of merit, so this week’s winner scored 43 points but they will go down on the oom as 47 points; hope this makes sense if you’re unsure call in to the shop and I will explain. The trophy presentation took place on Sunday, and we had a great turn out with nearly everyone who won a trophy there to receive them.
