Members Information
Due to staff shortage through illness and the excessive rainfall during this week the Greens Team have made preparing the course for play their priority. The majority of the debris has been cleared and most areas have been cut where it has been possible to do so. The Greens Team will address the fallen trees next week. We fully expect common sense to prevail and for our members and visitors to take suitable relief if necessary from these areas. Thanks for your patience. 🏌️♂️🏌🏼♀️⛳️

Due to essential maintenance work on the course and greens, where we will be sharing the hire cost of the machinery.
The planned work would clash with the original date for the Closing Pairs Scramble on the Sat 6th October, so the Closing Scramble will now be held on Sat 13th October, the online booking for the Closing Scramble will be available from Friday 14th Sept at 8pm
The course will be open during this maintenance work, but temporary greens may be in place to ensure the safety of the Greens team
Apologies for any inconvenience

Wee bit more high tech than the picture I attached to the email !
These are the kids that were on course tonight
Our caterer Stoyan has now left the club as he required more hours during the winter months. His replacement is Nathan who has been helping Stoyan at weekends.
Nathan is an experienced chef and I am delighted that he has accepted the position.
However Nathan is currently on his honeymoon, therefore until next Friday there will only be pies and sausage rolls available.
Nathan will only be working Friday to Sunday so the rest of the week we will be offering soup, pies and sausage rolls.
The golf club need to look at getting both bar and food sorted as will drive members away

After our prolonged dry spell certain area s of the course have burnt out and are needing time to recover. With recent inclement weather these areas have now become slippery. The club and the green staff advise all members and visitors to be that little more careful on hills and slopes whilst enjoying their game. Play well ⛳️🏌️♂️🏌🏼♀️

August news from the Junior Section.
The Three Trophies day was well represented in the early part of the month with Richard and Glen Irvine retaining the Parent and Junior Trophy, Andrew Cairns and Thomas Robinson winning the Corbett Cup for the fourth time in five years. Carla Morris and her father Paul won the Ross Trophy played over eleven holes. Medal No 19 was won by the new kid on the block Connor Moffat with a 64 net. In the Last chance Stableford, played in terrible conditions David Flower returned a tremendous score of 46 points (60 net) Carla Morris won the eleven holes with 24 points, just edging out Alex Bryden and his father. The Junior section is grateful to George Corbett's Fish and Chicken Bar for their support throughout the month. Picture shows Tournament Organiser Stevie Thom and Club Captain Dayne with the winners.
