PRESENTATION NIGHT Date change

Will all members please note this is now going to be held on Saturday February 18th instead of Friday as originally planned.
All winners & runners up are expected to attend with their wives & girlfriends.
Indeed the Committee hope that all members will come along and enjoy themselves, even new members that didn't play in last year's competitions.
Food & Entertainment are yet to be finalised but there will be some 'fine ale' and it promises to be a good night.

Congratulations to Colin & Ben .

In very windy conditions the Father & Son combination produced an excellent score of 78 points which was comfortably enough to win the Mickey Birch Trophy 2012.
Second place, with 73, went to Larry Lauezzari & Mick McGregor and 1 point behind them came Mike Farrer & David Frost. Well played, all of you.

SLOW PLAY KILLING THE GREAT GAME !

@LukeDonald @GolfWorld1 #1 rightly peeved with the matter of slow play. It is spreading through to non pro games. 4 ball no more than 4 hrs.

It appears to be a very emotive subject with Golf World's twitter community having plenty to say on the matter.
I don't think any round of golf should turn into a race but equally it shouldn't end up with waiting on every tee and many shots because the match in front are just wasting time!
Simple Tips :- When it's your shot be ready, if its your 'honour' hit the ball before marking the card, always leave your clubs by the green in the direction of the next tee, try to 'read' your putt whilst others are putting and above all be aware of whats going on. Your place on the course is just behind the match in front and NOT just in front of the match behind !!
We can all do our 'bit' to save 20 seconds here and 30 seconds there and believe me they all add up.
Lets try and make 2012 the year we all play in around 4 hours or less, thank you.

Sportsmans Trophy Draw

Please note the drawsheet is in the changing rooms and 1st round matches need to be played by January 29th.

If you cannot play your round by this date you need to contact Colin Wyatt and request an extension or risk both players being 'scratched'.

The final dates for each round are shown in the right hand column below this notice and will only be changed if we have long term closure of the course due to adverse weather.



Colin's number is in 'Contact Details' section

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

CAPTAINS DRIVE IN 2011

Drive in was followed by Christmas Carols which were lead by Dave Buckley and 'Choir' .

Hot and Cold Buffet was enjoyed by everyone and despite the Club being full to the brim, there was plenty to go round.

Kindred Club Captains & their Ladies enjoyed the afternoon even if it was a little louder than average.

Good luck to Tony in his coming 'Year'.



The raffle raised over £250 and gives us a flying start towards this year's target of £2,500 for Macmillans Nurses.


Thank you all for your generosity and HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Dave Burgess and 'The Band'

Many thanks to Dave and his pals for an enjoyable afternoon of 'Sing Along Classics'

I think everyone had fun and appreciated your efforts.
