As you are probably aware facemasks are again compulsory when entering shops so please have yours at the ready before entering the Pro Shop. If you don’t have it handy, please stand at the door and we’ll endeavour to serve you as best as we can from there. Coming into this extra special time of year, let’s stay safe everyone!
Mats
Here’s some further clarification on the use of mats over the winter period. It is optional in both social and competitive golf to use a mat from the teeing area. However, for the men when playing a competition from the blue tees, it is mandatory to use your mat from the par three teeing areas.
Help Required
Brian Greenbank on behalf of the Greens Committee is looking for volunteers on Wednesday & Thursday (subject to weather) for the final push to complete work on the upper tee. Please meet in the car park at 0830. The work should be completed by 1200 and will followed by coffee on patio, again weather permitting. Please see the section below for more details on the work that is taking place.

In the ladies event, Caroline Perkin played very well for 18 points. Tiff Fielden finished runner up with 14 points.
New Fourth Tee
Well done to all the volunteers headed by Brian Greenbank for all their hard work creating the new 4th tee.
Below is how it was looking on Thursday. The photo below that is how it was looking on Saturday morning after the strong winds of Friday night.
A dead tree had been blown on top of it damaging much of the work that had been done. This must have been really dispiriting for the team but despite that they have been straight back out there tidying things up and getting ready to move things on again. We’re all indebted to them so thank you and keep up the good work!!
