Bonus Number

Bonus number 35 the  winner this week  was Mary Hackett.

Committee Meeting

Our next committee meeting is on  30th March at 7pm.

Pitch Marks

Leaving Pitch Marks when playing destroys the greens, it takes a lot of care and attention to keep them in pristine condition, so all members and green fees are asked to repair them and use the correct repairer when doing so.

Also do not use the club head to take balls out of holes on greens as this damages the hole.

If anyone has an hour or two Mondays to Fridays to spare to give a hand helping on the course you would be very welcome.

Did you know?

If a ball comes to rest against the boundary fence the player may play it as it lies or drop the ball within 2 club lengths not nearer the hole under a penalty of 1 shot.
