General Club Noticeboard

The Agenda for the General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 24th February 2016 has been emailed to Members on Tuesday 9th February and posted on the Member's area of the website.  There will be a paper copy posted on the Club noticeboard in the Clubhouse.  Please send you apologies or proxy requests to office@aegc.co.uk and these will be dealt with by the Club Administrator following her return from sick leave.  

A good crowd of members and guests attended the traditional Captains' New Year drive in.

The pre-drive photographs show Mr Captain, Lady Captain and Junior Captain all in confident pose. The close up reveals that Mr C is praying for divine intervention and Junior Captain is showing the effects of all night partying. Lady C is looking quietly confident.

The pressure built up and Lady C led the drive off with one down the middle, followed by the Junior Captain knocking his drive 217 yards out of sight.

Mr C strode to the tee with an air of comfortable control and contained his drive to only 159 yards in order not to outshine the Junior Captain.

Each Captain's charity benefitted from half of the prize money. Lady C was rewarded for her performance with a win from Junior C's distance and popular winners of Mr C's event were Honorary members George & Betty Eland.

A good time was had by all and we wish each of the Captains a succesfull 2016.

ON BEHALF OF THE LADY CAPTAIN AND MYSELF PLUS THE OFFICERS OF THE CLUB I WISH ALL VICE PRESIDENTS, HONORARY MEMBERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF ALDERLEY EDGE GOLF CLUB

A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 

PS: If you can make the News Year Drive-In the first drink is on me! 

No Bottles of Champers mind you!.

All the best Pete Wood – Mr Captain 2016.

On behalf of all the members of Alderley Edge Golf Club, may I extend a warm welcome to our website where I hope you get a flavour of the wonderful golf experience that is available to all who play here. The course will provide you with an exciting challenge no matter what level of golf you play, the photographs and overhead drone film provide you with a sample of the stunning views you will experience which change with the seasons. I have had the privilege of being a member for over 10 years and never tire of views or the natural beauty of our splendid course.

 I am Peter Wood and it is such a great honour and privilege to be elected the Clubs Captain and I look forward to the year ahead with excitement and enthusiasm. As always we have a diary packed with a wide range of golf activities including matches, competitions, tournaments and roll-ups for all sections of the Club, Ladies, Gents, Mixed, Seniors and Juniors. Plenty of opportunities for new members to quickly join in events and get to know fellow members, when you can be assured of a warm welcome.

 The Lady Captain and I will be working together during the year to raise money for our selected charities mine being the Alzheimer’s Society which carries out in valuable research into Dementia and looks at Methods of Treatment and is funded mainly by voluntary donations.

 Alderley Edge Golf Club will enter its 109th year in 2016 and it has an enviable history of this Cheshire Club which we are justly proud.  The club offers a warm welcome to all, whether you are looking for a club to join, enjoying a pleasant day’s golf in spectacular surroundings, just calling in for a drink and taking in the Cheshire Countryside or as part of a visiting society. Our catering team will provide good wholesome food at a reasonable price

To sharpen your game, our Professional Charles Le Sueur and Martin, together with the state of the art equipment in the swing room will analyse your game and soon have your handicap reduced.

I hope that your year goes well and I look forward to seeing you at Presentations uttering the words "have one on the winner".

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact Hilary in the office or Duncan for Social Events at the club. Best wishes and Good Golfing in the year ahead.
