Captain's Newsletter - 19 Feb 2018

As I write this the sun is at last shining for more than 5 seconds – hopefully we are now coming out of winter and some sunshine will help dry out the course. Who knows in 2 months time we will be bouncing our shots over the back of the greens as the ground is so dry – Golf in Britain!!

The final round of the Winter Eclectic went ahead without holes 6 and 7. Unfortunately we would have played those holes from a pond so apologies to those who were relying on improving on those holes last week. That’ll teach us to leave it to the last minute! The winners of both divisions will be honoured on Thursday after the Megan Bonner Par 3. This competition is now full so please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to play.

Tuesday – 5 clubs and a putter. On another very cold and wet day we played 9 holes and Lesley came out the winner with Julie R a close runner up. Well done all for perseverance!

The Ladies v Men match – held over from 2017 takes place on Saturday 24th February. Thanks to all for signing up – it is always a difficult one to win but good luck everyone and lets show them what we can do…

On TUESDAY March 13th there is a new competition in our calendar – the England Golf Australian Spoons. This is a Pairs competition with a chance of progressing to a regional final later in the year. All the rules and details are on the board but in order to enter the competition you will need to sign up on HDID. Any questions please speak to Pauline Humphrey.

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday – 9.30 Shotgun start, don’t be late! All the reserves have now been allocated a space….good luck everyone

Here’s to Spring ⛳️⛳️⛳️
