Welcome... After possibly the longest winter in history, with golf being shut down for what felt like an eternity, the courses are finally open again... let’s hope they stay that way! March 29th saw golfers back in action with all the courses fit to burst. Membership is booming across the county with most clubs being at capacity. Hopefully, over the next few months we will see the opening up of UK golf breaks and away golf days. In this issue County Secretary, Steve McNeill reflects on the difficulties of 2020 and the impact COVID-19 has had on golf clubs. We also look at the positives... Surrey Championship winners, future diary dates a potential champion in junior player, Lottie Woodham and Farnham Golf Club celebrates its 125th anniversary. PGA Professional, Sam Truman, explains how to use data properly to better understand your game; Jamie Burrows helps us understand goal setting and David Boote reviews his year of 2020. The Vale Resort in Wales has been crowned Wales’ Best Golf Hotel for the fourth year in a row and The Point at Polzeath offers a wonderful family friendly resort that truly has something for everyone.
