New Winter Rule
Due to the very wet course conditions, the Greens Committee has introduced a new winter rule with immediate effect as follows:
If you are in a bunker you may without penalty mark your ball, lift and clean it, rake the bunker and place (not drop) the ball as near as possible to the position from which it was lifted. Please re-rake the bunker after playing your shot and moving on.
Ladies Christmas Lunch
The ladies played a nine hole shot gun start team event on Wednesday to get them ready for their Christmas lunch. There were plenty of festive costumes to be seen on the golf course. Plus Diana Hogben kindly provided some some delicious treats for all of the competitors on the 8th tee.

The winners of the team competition were Nancy Fallows, Clare Withey, Nicola Kitching and Janet Grant. Judy Sutherland won the 9 hole putting competition and Penny Hughes won the closest to the hole of the long putt competition. Jane Perks was delighted to win the Christmas hamper. The final photo was taken during the hard fought putting competition.

The Putting Competition
Sunday saw the club run the ever popular family Christmas lunch. Well done to Keith and Tracey Thompson for stepping up and making a fantastic team of Father Christmas and his Elf.

And finally….
There was a popular request for me to include this photo of one of our ex gentleman captains taking a cheeky power nap in the gents locker room following the FNC Christmas lunch on Wednesday. So purely for journalistic integrity, I felt obliged to do so.
Forty winks….
So it just remains to say thanks for all the support you have shown Phil and I in the Pro Shop over the last 12 months and we both send our best wishes to you and your families this Christmas. We hope you have a wonderful time and that 2020 proves to be a great year for us all.
