Club 125-year Celebrations
There has been a positive response from members in procuring tickets to attend the Celebration activities to be held on 2nd December.
If you haven’t already, call into the Club Office and buy your tickets now.
A fun day experience is planned for all.
Frost Delays
It has been a few challenging few weeks for many members with the course being closed in the mornings because of frosty conditions. These actions are not taken lightly and are in the best interests of course condition.
The good news is the first signs of spring are now obvious so we will soon enjoy longer, warmer days to play our golf.
