The Run up to Christmas

Not long now…. I hope the majority of you are managing to stay safe and that your Christmas plans can still go ahead unscathed. A few of the members and staff have recently contracted Covid and so our thoughts are with them as we wish them a speedy recovery.

Will, Phil and I would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone at the club a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ladies Christmas Frolic

As always, the ladies section really embraced getting dressed up for last Thursday’s shotgun start Christmas competition as you can see from the photos below. There were big smiles and some really great outfits!

The winners of the competition with 35 points were Val Nelstrop, Gill Kay, Barbara Grant and Jane Perks. The winner of the best Christmas Outfit went to Jane Wilkinson for her brilliant creation. The Hogben’s once again kindly provided mince pies and mulled wine by the 8th tee.

Kahla Trophy

This year’s Kahla trophy will take place on Wednesday 29th December with tee times from 1100. The format is nine holes foursomes stableford from the adult tees and the event is open to any mixed generational pairing. For example, father and son, father & daughter, grandmother & daughter etc. In addition, it’s fine if the younger partner is an adult.

Please let me know if you would like to play.

Atlantic Rally Race for CAFT

Andrew Warnes and I exchanged emails a few days ago and he has been on quite the adventure, having just sailed across the Atlantic! He did it on behalf of the local charity CAFT (The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust) and so if you would like to donate to his TotalGiving page, please click here

Pro Shop Christmas Draw

Just a to let you know that the draw for this will be taking place on the 23rd December (on reflection, I decided that Christmas Eve was perhaps leaving it a little late)!

I will contact the winners via email and send out a brief newsletter with the results on. Thank you so much for the huge support from you all for this and best of luck!
