We will not be deterred...
With the clocks going back and the beautifully coloured autumnal leaves dropping from the trees, it seems as if the weather has now taken a turn for the worse. A week full of strong winds and heavy rain showers has given a gloomy feel to what could be a long winter!
On a more positive note, we can still take a walk and swing a golf club, regardless of the weather conditions and club competitions will continue to be played. With golf being such a saviour to our lifestyle during these times, being fully equipped to dodge showers and battle elements has proved to have great importance for success. It's been so heart warming to see so many of you take to the course, and compete in all weather.
Friday saw a large number of our Seniors' section compete in the monthly Stableford competition. Many congratulations to our ex-Club Chairman, Peter Bell, who narrowly beat Micheal Innes on countback with both players scoring an excellent 38 points while David Riddiford came in 3rd position with a very respectable score of 36 points. As we near the season end of the men's cup competitions, last Sunday saw over seventy players compete for the Moncreiffe Cup. The in-form four handicapper Matt Windo, scored a brilliant 38 points to just pip Jamie Butt on countback to win the cup. Jamie also has enjoyed regular golf this season with some fine performances but Matt has had a great finish to the season seeing his handicap drop very near to three. Very well played Matt and also to consistent Mark Hudson who finished in third place with 37 points. All prize and twos club winners have had their winnings credited to their Pro Shop Accounts - just in time for Christmas! Making sure that you're ready for whatever the winter might throw at you, will give you the very best chance of playing your best golf, whatever the conditions. Wet weather gloves, big winter mits, umbrella, waterproofs, warm beanie, hand warmers including small lightweight standbags in preparation for the extreme ground conditions and potential trolley bans, are all in-stock here to cover any of your loose ends.
Come in and see one of our pro shop staff (or of course, please do shout from the door) and we will be happy to equip you with all of the golf paraphernalia, to help you perform to your full winter potential. |
