We are hoping the predicted showers for tomorrow do not effect the course too much. 

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 7.00pm there will be a Members Meeting to discuss changes to the Club’s Constitution which are the rules that govern our club.

This is something that ALL members should have the opportunity to have a say on how the club is governed. 

This is your opportunity to get an understanding of what the “constitution “ means to you.

Make an effort to get there so you can have an understanding of the governing rules. It is a bit heavy for the a average golfer but there will be people there that can explain your queries.

Our Golf Club management is a big deal and we want it to be to be to the benefit of all our members. 

See you there at 7.00pm this Tuesday evening.
