POOH PUTTER

The draw will be posted shortly for this year’s Pooh Putter competition, which will be Greensomes match play between the Lady Captain’s Team and the Vice Captain’s team. Matches will start at 9.10am, with the last at 10am. I sincerely hope the weather doesn’t defeat us, but if it does, we’ll just have to meet for coffee!! 

LADIES CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024

Unfortunately the rain has delayed our Ladies Club Championship final. We hope that the game will be played on Sunday 15th September at 11.30am, and will confirm this soon. I do hope that many of you will come out that day to support Jan and Allison. 

Some of our Championships are now complete and congratulations go to our Bronze Champion Joy McLeod, Silver Knock-out Champion, Denise Cowan, and Summer Foursomes Champions Jan Macnab and Sheila Swinnerton. Very well done Ladies.

Thank you to our spot prize sponsers and to Mark, Tim and our Captain Earle who were very supportive all day. Leanna and team provided some lovely specials for lunch.

FUN MIXED COMPETITIONS

I would like to encourage all ladies to take part in the following two mixed events. Both great fun!

Any questions, please contact Karen or myself.

Greenkeepers Day 

This year Greenkeepers Day will be on Saturday the 13th July. It has been set-up as a Mixed Fun Team event (ideally a team of 4) with 2 scores (Stableford) from the Team players to count on each hole. i.e. best 2 points score on each hole (net). The course will be set-up with novel pin positions and unusual tee options in this non-qualifying for handicap event. A portion of entry fees (£5 per player) will go to supporting the greenkeepers Christmas party with a donation bucket also available in the shop. Support your excellent Greenkeepers by entering a Team. 

Ranfurly Scramble 

This mixed event takes place on the 20th July and will be a shotgun start at 9am. Players are asked to sign up in advance (details emailed) with teams drawn and tees allocated on the day when players arrive. This is a great opportunity to meet other members you might not normally get a chance to play alongside.
