Restarting Competitive Golf

Several members have expressed a wish to start the £1 kitty competitions on Tuesdays and Thursdays but the current restrictions means we are having to rethink how we can make it work.

There are currently only four committee members to manage how we function so we are looking for a volunteer to receive emails with the names and scores twice a week and forward the details.

If anyone is prepared to help we can finesse the final details.

Thursday 24th September

 Those who played today enjoyed benign conditions.

Further to the club info email I downloaded the NHS tracing app that enables you to register you are on the premises by scanning the QR code dotted around the place. For anyone wishing to try it be sure to search for the NHS covid 19 app on PlayStore as there is another NHS app. It requires bluetooth to be enabled to work and takes a photo of the QR code. Bluetooth scans other users to let you know if anyone in the club becomes infected.. If reading this is making you feel dizzy the world won't come to an end if you think it's too much trouble.

Anywhere in the clubhouse except waiting for table service requires a mask to be worn.

On a brighter note we are looking at the possibility of running the sandpiper handicapping system again for pecuniary gain.

Thursday 24th September Draw

 Hopefully it won't be as miserable and wet as today.

Note there are no buggies available for Thursday and next Tuesday at the moment.

Bruce and Sarah have just 50 miles to go after completing 1000 miles so far.

Bob Saunders Cup Result

Congratulations again to David Frith for 40 points taking the trophy. Next Tuesday is the last chance this year to get your name engraved for posterity on our silverware.
Note in your diaries that as we will not be having our usual AGM format, the club secretary has kindly arranged to put our tee time back to 9.50am on Tuesday 6th October for the Brindley Salver.

New Distancing Rules

 We can assume that the club will revert to restricting access to the first tee from Monday, the bigger problem is likely to be availability of clubhouse facilities. I'm sure the club will inform us of new arrangements in due course but as a society we can set an example by not congregating in the car park. Next Tuesday is the George Wright trophy so please help Joe by getting entries in early plus availability for the Celts / Saxons match.

Today's gloomy start turned into a pleasant although blustery afternoon.
