MESSAGE FROM YOUR CAPTAIN As
the new PGC Captain I welcome all members, guests and visitors to the new
golfing season. I hope you all enjoy your golf and social activities
throughout the year. The season starts, weather permitting with the Captain V
Vice Captain Competition on the 24th March I hope to meet as many
of you there as possible. By that time the Dormy House which suffered storm
damage will be repaired and back in action and we will be back on the full
course with the course winter program completed. Note attention to ladies
tees at 12th and 14th, new path to 2nd tee,
bunker changes at 13th and 14th . There will also be a number of new mature
trees planted on the 5th,11th and12th holes. The winter program
was not as comprehensive this year due the disruption caused by staff
changes, but Paul Sharp, our new Head Greenkeeper is now in post and I’m
confident you will continue to see the ongoing development of the course
under his management. The
Management committee members this year are as follows:- Vice Captain &
Secretary Susan Chappel-Smith, Treasurer Brian Tilley, Ladies Captain Barbara
Lappin, Match& Handicap Alan Brown, Greens Convenor George Burnett,
Pennant League Brian Taylor, Seniors Convenor Ian Gellatly, Junior Convenor
Frank Moore, Health & Safety Ian McLean, Committee members Gerry
McCormack and Ian Thomson. The
FDC survey returns will be collated and the results displayed on the Club
notice boards and web site. As agreed at the AGM the highest priority item
will be progressed if the annual financial projections are met. A
new competition as been inaugurated this year. This is after a request from
the low handicap male members that there is not a Scratch knockout out
competition in the club apart from the Seniors (which seems to be won every
year by a certain Maurice Grieve). To satisfy this request a Scratch
Competition for male members with a handicap of 9 or less will be held, sheet
is on the notice board. It is recognised that this may increase tee time
bookings, but be assured that the situation will be closely monitored and if
necessary adjustments made to the format in following years. Upon payment of
your fees you will be sent your loyalty card with £25 on it ready to be
spent. For some of you, my self included, the first £25 will be long gone.
The card will also be used for competition signing in therefore speeding up
that and the score recording procedure for medal competitions. I hope that you
are looking forward to the new season as much as myself – enjoy your golf. Bill Morrison PGC Captain. |

COURSE NEWS The
course opens officially on 24th March with the Captain versus Vice Captain
competition, followed by the Opening shot-gun start competition for all on 25th
March. Weather permitting, the course will open for general play on Thursday
22nd March. Paul
and his team have been very busy over the winter months, amongst other things
they have levelled and redone the ladies tee boxes on the 12th and
14th. It is unlikely that they will be fit for play at the
beginning of the season, but they will be brought into use as soon as
possible. Mats and teeing areas to the front of the tees will be in place for
the time being. Also the bunker has been removed from the back right hand
side of the 14th green. Work has also been done to improve the
slippy slope along the 14th fairway. New trees have been planted,
fences repaired, paths tidied and new ones made…Can you tell where they are??
In general all maintenance work has been done to ensure the course is in
excellent condition for the start of the season. Our thanks to all greens
staff for their hard work over the winter months. We
hope you enjoy your golf. We would also wish to remind
all golfers that practice is not allowed on the course. |
