The usage of carts on the course during winter will be continually monitored as weather changes with the latest information for members listed below.

Updated 3:00 pm 22nd September:

Members are advised that with recent improvement in weather and course conditions that carts will be allowed back onto the course by use of MEMBERS ONLY.

Members are also advised that a new webpage has been created which has all of the latest details on cart usage on the course, it can be found here and will continually be updated with the latest information.

Members are reminded that if they do not intend to play in the Saturday competition that their name be removed from the booking sheet as early as possible. This is just as important during the cold winter months as it allows the club to know how many players to expect and at what times on a Saturday, whilst also ensuring that anyone who has booked into a group the knowledge that players listed will be attending and playing.

The match committee will continue to watch and monitor the booking sheet and those players who continually fail to withdraw their name from the booking sheet may have their booking rights rescinded.

Members are also reminded that unless otherwise stated on the website the course and competition will ALWAYS be open. Due to reduced numbers and weather the clubhouse MAY NOT be open. In this case any players are welcome to place their cards and entry fees into the green fee box and cards for handicapping.

The booking sheet for Saturday 29th July was missed and as such will become live on Tuesday 25th July at 3:00 pm. Players will be able to log into the online booking sheet and place their names down for the competition on the 29th as per normal after this time.

The Match Committee has decided to update our Local Rules in regards to hoops to bring them into line with the normal rules of golf and the majority of other golf clubs. As a result the below rule will be in play effective immediately. Members and guests are asked that if they are to move the hoops under this rule that they ensure they are replaced. 


New Local Rule:

HOOPS

Hoops are to be treated as Movable Obstructions and relief MAY be taken in accordance with Rule 24-1. If a ball hits a hoops it MUST be played as it lies (the shot can no longer be replayed). If the hoops are in the line of play they may be removed.

Queen's Birthday Competition Results

The final of the 2017 Handicap Matchplay Championships was played on  Saturday 20th May between Hugh Griffin and Andy Amberg. After a solid start with players recording birdies and pars over the opening holes it was Andy that took advantage of the 12 shots he was given, making some solid pars, and grabbing a small lead of 1 up through 4 holes.

However Hugh bounced back taking advantage of a couple of holes where he didn't have to give up a shot by making par on the 5th and birdie on the 9th for wins. With Andy having a few troubles on the 7th and 8th the match had suddenly swung and Hugh took a 3 hole lead into the back nine.

Andy rallied to win the 11th but found trouble on the 13th to again drop to 3 down. A poor tee shot by Andy on 14 appeared to open the door but with a nice chip out and 3rd onto the green Andy recovered whilst Hugh hit his approach over the back. However he made a superb up and down from under the back tree to claim a half and keep the lead at 3.

With no shot given on the 15th Andy was again behind the 8 ball but made a brilliant par, recovering from a nearly dead position in the far left rough before chipping to gimmie range for his 5. Hugh's birdie putt to win the match was left well short but the 5 was enough to make the match dormie 3.

Both players hit nice tee shots on 16 but unfortunately Andy's second was far too long, bouncing well back under the trees behind the green. With a couple of awkward chips shots off the soft leaf litter needed to get the ball on the green Hugh only required a 3 putt from just off the back edge of the green to bogie the hole and win the match. He needed all 3 putts but made the required bogie making Hugh Griffin our 2017 Handicap Matchplay Champion, defeating Andy Amberg 3&2.
