Captain's Newsletter - 18 Mar 2018

Another week dawns and there is snow on the ground as I write this! Let’s hope we can get a bit closer to Spring this coming week.

Following last Thursdays washout the O’Sullivan Cup will now be played on Thursday 5th April. Please sign up again on HDID and hopefully we will have a better day for it. We will not now play a medal in April.

Other rearranged comps are as follows and I will put these dates up on the board in the week

Australian Spoons – now on Tuesday April 17th
Price Vase – now on Thursday May 17th

Thanks to Anne Lawrence for entertaining us (!) during the weather breaks this week with her stories from her time with the anti terrorist police.

The Maria Moore Milennium Bowl is a pairs comp on Thursday 29th March. This is not a qualifier and is on a sign up sheet in the changing room.

The Pearson season continues this week with a home match against Porters Park on Wednesday and the 4 ladies involved in the semi finals are still trying to play their matches before the end of the month – I think it is a record this year for the number of postponements. Good luck to all and see you all for our monthly Stableford on Thursday.

There is an up to date handicap list with some further information on handicaps and qualifiers on the board at the rear of the changing room. Please reacquaint yourself with this information as we go into the season proper.

Jo will be recommending her team clinics in the week before Easter so please check the sign up sheets on the board and make use of these excellent sessions. They are great preparation for all our team golf in the coming season.

Remember most golfers prepare for disaster- a good golfer prepares for success!

Social News
Jackie has arranged for Kelly to come and do a spring floral display workshop on Wednesday 18th April 10-12.30am. Cost will be £30 per head and there needs to be a min of 4 people. Please book with Jackie direct.

Some of our ladies took part in the Quiz at the Green Man in Offley on Monday night, hope they won the prizes!

Keep smiling, clean the clubs and get the sunglasses out!
