MEMBERS GET-TOGETHER 15/03/2012

With the new season's golf just  round the corner Lady Captain Jean Laburn welcomed around 50 ladies to our  2012 Members Get-gether  "An evening with Charles".   We enjoyed a glass of wine with finger buffet, lots of chat,  then  settled  down to hear words of  golfing wisdom from our own Charles Dernie.

Charles  explained how  new technology  has changed golf in recent years and demonstrated  some of the latest clubs which  are designed to  assist the women's game. He also went through recent changes to the Rules of Golf and  tested us with a fun quiz  which made  us all realise we need to brush up on the rules, old and new.  A question and answer session  gave ladies the chance to ask  about  new ball technology,  golf rulings, rakes  in bunkers  and much more. Charles had  all the answers!

Jean presented Charles with a bottle of fine red wine as a token of appreciation from the ladies.  Now we look forward to great golf this season, starting with the traditional Captain v Vice-Captain on March  30th.  If you can't make the golf,  do please join us after the game for soup and sandwiches in the dining-room.
