Dear LadiesI would like to wish you all a Happy & Healthy New Year and I hope that the Number One Resolution on your list for 2014 is to PLAY MORE GOLF!
At this time of year I know it is easy to fall out of the habit of playing golf, the thought of a warm, comfortable seat with coffee and a magazine for company is very tempting, and it takes an effort to rake out woolly hats, gloves, waterproofs and three layers of sweaters. But just think how much good 12 holes of winter golf will do you - fresh air, exercise, weight loss, catching up with fellow golfers....
In the next few weeks the winter weather is guaranteed to be unpredictable.....but be assured, if there is no golf, the committee will arrange an event, in the Clubhouse, every Friday - it might be a fun Quiz on the rules of golf, a talk about golf balls, a putting competition, bridge tips....whatever.... various committee members will always be here. Any suggestions welcome.
I am looking forward to fun and happy times in the months to come - but for that to happen, I need YOU to sign up and play! 2014 promises to be a great year with the 125th Anniversary Celebrations throughout the season and added spice of the Junior Ryder Cup in September. How lucky we are these events are happening during our time as Members.
I would also like to mention that my Captain's Charity for 2014 will be Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia. Any money raised for TCCL goes direct to support the children and families in Tayside who need it most. TCCL don't pay any wages and the committee is staffed by volunteers who don't take a penny for their hard work.
Their mission is to support local children and funds are used throughout our local area of Angus, North East Fife and Perthshire.
TCCL has been serving the Tayside and North East Fife community since 1994 and work closely with the oncology staff at Ward 29 in Ninewells Hospital. You can read about the Charity and its work at :-

Thanks!

Lady Captain
