It’s good to see a solid attendance on Wednesdays, carts have allowed many to continue to enjoy their golf, but care should be taken in the damper conditions. Most of our newer players are now playing 18 holes. There was no competition held on Saturday due to lack of numbers. On Wednesday the 19th we have June Monthly Medal with hot soup afterwards, then on the 26th the 27 Hole Foursomes Championships, there’ll be a seeded timesheet for this day. With the onset of winter conditions players are reminded to check the Local Rules Board down below as preferred lies will be permitted for quite a while.
