Captain's Newsletter - 29 May 2022

Oh my goodness this is the last newsletter in May which means next one is June – almost half the year gone!

Big news of the week has to be that the ladies won the Ken Bird Trophy for the first time since 2011. We are very proud of ourselves. Well done team

Thank you for all the golf clothes and equipment. That will be a brilliant stall. I bought a lot of clothes last year

Desperately in need of bottles for the bottle tombola – doesn’t need to be alcohol or even edible. It’s a gamble what you will win, bottle of vinegar, bottles of Prosecco? Who knows?

Sponsor a hole – all holes have at least one sponsor but more than one person can sponsor a hole – again donation (minimum £25) to ladies section referencing sponsor a hole

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to man a stall, be a starter/photographer, helping at  Top Tracer, the half way house and last but not least is playing the competition. I know it is controversial that men are playing- let’s see how it goes. It can be reversed next year if we decide it isn’t a good idea.

Just Giving Page has raised a magnificent £1106 and we haven’t yet had our big fund raising events

Thank you so much for your kind support

 

There may not be a newsletter next week due to all the Jubilee celebrations. I will see how much time I have left!

A golf quote” Golf is a game whose aim is to get a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose”

So don’t despair – it’s an impossible game!

I hope you all enjoy the 4 day bank Holiday Weekend. Thank you Your Royal Highness
