Good morning to all,

COURSE CONDITION
The course is slowly starting to recover from the recent weather and the fairway cut lines are still clearly visible so we will continue without the old “tree line” rule. There are still some damaged / unplayable areas so be mindful of allowing your playing partners relief from “abnormal conditions”. The ground staff have started to close and grass some bunkers off on the 3rd, 6th, 14th and 18th. Where these bunkers have been filled with soil awaiting seeding they are to be treated as GUR, which is now encompassed by the abnormal conditions rule.

RESULTS
The Stableford Trophy – 17/18/19 January
Considering the weather we had a good turnout of 26 entrants last weekend. Pete Robinson kept his recent good form going and won the competition scoring 35 stableford points. Dan Clement was second on 33 points and Tony Crispin third on 32 points.
Birdie balls went to Pete Robinson and Ron Wagstaff.
Congratulations to all and well played !
