Happy New Year
I hope you all had a great Christmas and are now looking forward to some winter golf.
The 12 Hole Winter Eclectic begins this week, weather permitting for 7 rounds. Sign up as usual online. Sign up opens 3 weeks in advance of each round. It is filling up already. Please check the status of the competition a few days before just to confirm who you are playing with in case you need to contact your partners if you are unable to play.
As you will have seen we are now starting at 9:20am. Please try and avoid leaving gaps between tee times.

I am very much looking forward to being your Captain for 2017. Looking forward to seeing some fantastic scorecards, eagles and a few holes in one.
But remember……..
“As you walk down the fairway of life, you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”
Happy golfing & Happy New Year
Jackie Reid, Ladies Captain
