 Hole #8

Seniors Roll up  27^th August 2019

37 players took part in the penultimate Division one, casual cup games this week, as stated following the game, next week will also be the same format this is because the scheduled game which was planned for September 24^th clashes with course maintenance.

Players starting on the 11^th

Management have requested that should those players who have started earlier in the day come around to the the 11^th whilst the roll up players are yet to tee off, must be allowed to play through, this only happens rarely and should not have too much of an impact on members.

 Hole #6

Seniors Roll up  20^th August 2019

23 players took part in the roll up this week with 22 entering the MMM.

Bookings

We had two instances this week that members should be aware of, one was where a four ball were booked immediately before the first tee time allocated for the MMM, we understand that this is perfectly legitimate however not ideal, in the past members playing a four ball match have teed off the 11^th after the last group in the roll up and this works well.

Secondly a tee time was booked for 08:34 which is within the allocated times for the roll up, we have agreed with the Pro shop that in the future no similar requests will be allowed, should anyone have a reason for such a request please contact either the Captain or Vice Captain stating the reason for this and then they will try to accommodate the request.

Nearest the pin charity raising

As stated in a previous report, Dave Merrison has donated a quality Ex  demo chipper and the money raised is to go to “Scottys little soldiers” which we held three weeks ago, the cost for entry is a minimum of £2 but feel free to increase this if you wish.
