General Club Noticeboard

A cracking turnout for the Captains' Drive In and it was blessed with a clear blue sky!  It was great to see this New Years’ Day tradition return today after a break of a few years.

Lady Captain Jo Pratt stepped up first and hit her drive 163 yards, Captain Sean Hall followed her with a 213 yard drive.  Well done to both for getting past 'Fodder's Tree'!

Thank you to everyone who had a guess on the yardage, £180 was raised for the Captains' Charity – The Stroke Association.

Following the recent weather, the condition of the course is such that we need to move to protection mode as soon as possible. We are, therefore, moving to full winter rules as from Sunday, 22nd October.

The full rules can be read on the website click here: LOCAL RULES

They will also be posted upon the club noticeboards. Briefly, they are as follows:

1. Players MUST choose one of the following options when playing their shot:
• lift, clean and place onto a fairway mat when playing a ball on the fairway or
• place their ball in the nearest rough and play from there or
• use a putter

2. Where there is mud on a ball in the rough, the player may lift and clean the ball but MUST DROP it back in the rough.

We are reintroducing the facility to clean mud off the ball in the rough to enable fairness across the course,

Winter mats will be available to buy at £6.50 (cost price to encourage use)

Just grab yourself a drink and head over to your easel where the evenings artist will take you step by step through the painting, giving you tips and options to customise along the way. We promise that you will surprise yourself and however hidden your inner artist is, we will help you to realise your talent.

We will be painting an owl. Cost £33 plus a booking fee but you walk away with a large canvas that you have created.
