As Ian Hunt explained in his email to the members on Monday, at that time over 600 nine hole rounds had been played. The tee sheet remains busy and also the only way to get a game at the moment.
A new golfing landscape – collecting your ball without touching the hole 
That’s more like it – a full car park!

Golf Lessons & Club Fittings
I’m delighted to say that I’m back coaching again. It’s on a 1:1 basis and it has to be outdoors. I’m of course taking all necessary steps to ensure social distancing is adhered to. Club Fittings are also possible on the same basis.
The easiest way to book a lesson is to use my online diary. Click here to schedule a session. You can book up to 10 days in advance. Should you be struggling to find a slot that is convenient for you, then please call me 0161 249 8427 and we can sort something out over the phone.
Marshalling
The marshalling of the course from Wednesday to Sunday was very well supported by the membership and a great success. It was needed as we transitioned from members of the public being able to walk freely across the course to them having to go back to sticking with the designated footpaths for safety reasons as golf started up again.
On that subject John Moss send me an amusing email telling me about one of his encounters whilst marshalling on Friday evening.
It was change over time and so there were four marshals by the 9th tee when a young man cycled up the new path by the 12 tee. John’s wife Janice politely explained that it was private land and so he couldn’t come up it. The cyclist replied “it’s ok, I’m not coming on the course, I’m just practising my hill climbs!” As John observed “little did Andy Veitch think that his lovely path would be used for another purpose entirely!” I wonder whether we should develop another income stream and offer a cycling membership from now on…… 😂
