From the Lady Captain

Hello to you all and after surviving our first week of lockdown, I hope you are all keeping safe and well and finding lots of things to do.   However, a walk doesn’t quite fit the bill and doesn’t constitute the same exercise as a round of golf - when Dave and I walked past the Club on Friday afternoon, it was quite eerie to see the courses and car park empty with on-one around.

It can only be hoped that our government lifts the restriction as soon as is possible and at least we can enjoy getting on to the courses once again.  That at least would relieve some of the tedium of being housebound.

At present, the Clubhouse and courses are closed until Easter at the earliest and who knows how much longer we will have to endure these conditions.

In the meantime, stay safe everyone and I’ll keep you up to date as much as I can.

Ladies Friendly Matches

We have received notice from quite a few clubs who have requested cancellation of their friendly matches either at home or away.   It has therefore been decided, under current circumstances, to cancel all friendly matches including the Handicap League matches for 2020 with the proviso that the same matches will be played in 2021 on roughly the same dates. 

It is hoped that later in the season, when  golf is once again possible and if time allows that some of the friendly matches can  be organised with local clubs.

Please spread the word.

Best regards to you all and be safe.

Ladies Knock Out competitions

The office have said they have taken the sheets down from the Ladies Locker Room - they were due to close on 5th April but because the Clubhouse is closed and no-one will have access before then, if any ladies have not entered their names and wish to do so, they should email Joan on her usual office email address and she will enter their names.  This will ensure the draws are ready for publishing whenever the office is free to do so.

Stay safe.

No Ladies block bookings for Fridays

The Office have confirmed there will be no block bookings for ladies on a Friday.  This means you will require to book your own times with your own partner/s on whichever course if you wish to play on a Friday.

Friendly Matches in May and Ladies Invitation Day

I have been in touch with the Office who have confirmed it would be a good idea to cancel all friendly matches in May and also the Ladies Invitation Day on 5th May.  The Invitation Day is too close to the end of April to enable us to get it organised properly and so it makes sense to cancel it now before any more entries are received.

Please note your diaries accordingly.

Hope this finds you all well and staying safe.

Ladies Group Coaching Classes

Neil Cameron, our Professional, has asked me to tell you that he is not comfortable holding more ladies group coaching classes at this time, but will continue with them when it is safe to do so. 

Neil will telephone tomorrow to inform all the ladies who have entered their names for these classes.
