Club Fees
Also, a gentle reminder to any members who have not yet paid their club fees. The fees are due 1st April 2018, therefore it would be much appreciated if you could make payment before then. Thank you. 125th Anniversary - Fastest Round of Golf
On Friday 13th July, as a part of the 125th anniversary celebrations we are to make an attempt on the world record for “The Fastest Round Of Golf by a Team of Players”. According to the Guinness book this stand at 13 minutes and 52 seconds and is held by Farnham Golf Club. This is somewhat confusing because twenty-five years ago a team accomplished this feat in twelve minutes! There is no limit to the size of the team and so the more members, men, ladies and juniors we have taking part, the greater are our chances of success.
We are hoping that as many of you as possible will join in this piece of enjoyment. Low handicap players will be playing the tee shots and groups of golfers will be positioned ready to advance the ball to the green, where chippers and putters will be holing out. As soon as one hole is completed the next tee shot is struck. The record does not require the same ball to be used throughout the round. We will also need members to indicate the direction of the tee shots and at some holes to telegraph ‘Go’ to the next tee shot. We hope that the press and local TV will take interest which should add to the feel-good factor. The event will take place at 6.00pm and will be followed by a barbecue.
Club Day - postponed!
If you are still unaware, our Club Day has now been postponed until Monday 28th May. Driving range
Can anyone who has a driving range basket please return it to the Pro Shop as soon as possible as once again we are very short of baskets. Also if any members have any old golf balls that they are willing to donate for use on the driving range it would be very much appreciated by the club.
Oscars Night
Now the weather is better, we have been able to rearrange our Oscars Night which got cancelled earlier on in the year. This event will now take place at 7pm for 7:30pm on Friday 11th May. The cost will be £27 per person, including a 3 course meal and Oscars. The evening will be hosted by TV celebrity Graham Barton.
Roll Up Times
We now have sheets for each roll up in the Pro Shop. Can each roll up please collect one before going out and sign their players in. No tee times will be taken off any roll ups, this is just so that we can free the crossover time up for other members.
