Captain's Newsletter - 25 Mar 2018

At last we got out and played a qualifier! Not sure many of us thought it was a great idea but for a few it was…
Huge congratulations to Jill Bransby who shot a hole in one at the 12th during our Stableford competition….and on those greens too! Thanks Jill for donating to my Charity in lieu of drinks in the bar. Enjoy a well earned break in Portugal.
Jill was the worthy winner of Div 1 with Denise Clinch taking the prize in Div 2 with a massive 38 points, and a handicap cut of 2 shots! Great result Ladies in difficult conditions. 
Also welcome to Qualifiers to our newest members, Caroline Roadnight and Anne Lawrence and our new (ish) weekend players, Annette Gillett, Annabel Scholes, Clare Breen, Clare Lyndon and Caroline Kaswaurere. I hope I have included you all and the best of luck with the new season, albeit a bit late in getting going. You are always welcome on a Tuesday or a Thursday as well…

The draws were made for both the Singles and Doubles Summer Kos and these will be in black and white on the board this week with the rules of each competition and details of the prelim matches in the singles.

The Jubilee Jug sign up sheet will be on the board this week. This popular event is on Thursday April 19th. Please sign up as a pair this year – hopefully this will encourage you to get some fantastic outfits organised in advance!

Rogie and I went to play in the Ladies Captains and Vice Captains day at Welwyn Garden City last Friday. We enjoyed the golf and had a good lunch afterwards with useful exchange of views with other Hertfordshire club Captains and Vices. We didn’t disgrace ourselves but equally didn’t win – the winners have to host next year!

Hopefully we have now seen the back of the winter and golf will become much more pleasurable. Andy and his team have done a fantastic job during the winter both with the course and some great projects around the course. We have a course to be proud of, thanks Greenkeepers!! ⛳️

Good luck to the Pearson team in their home match v Sandy Lodge on Wednesday.

Get out and enjoy your golf!
