Price of basic food items and drinks are increasing. Wages are also set to rise. There's no way to absorb all of it so I will have to pass some cost increases on. BUT as I have controlled the increases in the past - I will do so again.
Hello All!
Both Paul and Brian have done a fantastic job keeping the speed of play up, dress code and catching 'jump ons'. I intend on keeping this format - so when Brian has finished starting at the weekend, Paul takes over. The average speed of the weekend round has improved by 30 Goodminutes.job lads!
Between brutal Brian and Paul, we have increased the presence on both the course. In the last 2 weeks I have had Paul working from 12-8pm. He has been roaming the courses and has dealt with etiquette issues (golfers teeing up in the middle of the fairway!) for example.

Ben, our PGA Trainee has decided he doesn't need sleep anymore and is now the proud owner of a couple of twins! Carter and Charlie. He is back to work next week and I am sure you will join me in congratulating him and his lovely wife - Claire.

Do you hate our entrance?
The Practice Field A few questions that keep cropping up regarding the practice ground. We have left the right hand side to grow for a few reasons:-1.The area compensates for the lack of chipping area. It was only ever meant to be a chipping area. When people are using drivers and woods, there are no safety nets in place. 2. This area is earmarked. Eventually we are looking to become completely water independent moving to a more sustainable living. More Improvement... We are working towards :1.Steps up to the 6th and 7th green 2. Path work from the 1st to the 2nd 3.Bunkers - you will see we have already re sanded 5 bunkers on the Seely last week with more to come. 4. Music now installed in the lounge and on the patio - feel free to give us a play list! 5. New furniture is on its way (no more snagging yourself on the table tops!)

We were proud to hosts the Gedling Challenge and the Lord Mayor of Gedling, Peter Barnes, who accepted our donation of £250 in support of his charity Nottingham Hospitals Charity helping children and young people on 7 September. The mayor commented on how fantastic the food was and his comments were echoed by all. Well done Steve and all the catering team. Oakmere Park piped Mapperley to pick up the cup. Maybe next year!

Note the Captain... a summer!
The Interclub Foursomes team defeated Southwell to reach the county final which is to take place on Sunday 18 September at Oakmere Park, a fantastic achievement. Well done to all who have battled through the rounds and good luck in the final. Supporters are very welcome, lets cheer on Ramsdale to pick up the trophy.
The Scratch team season went down to the last game with the team narrowly missing out on promotion, well played and better luck next year. It has been a pleasure to support the team and see some fantastic golf.

Thank you to all the players who have represented the Club and particularly to professionals Will and Jack for playing in and supporting the Summer cup. Our competitions continue to be extremely well supported, thank you. A lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes, often unnoticed, to make sure they run smoothly.
The final matches of the Summer cup (6 pairs better ball handicap matches) completed last week. It was great that Ramsdale finished off the season with a win at home over Southwell. The matches are always played in great spirit, if you would like to take part next season please let me know and I will add you to the list.
The greens were at their very, very best for Charity Day on 6 September. Thank you to all the members for your support, donations and for raising a tremendous amount to help Maggie’s Nottingham.
