MEMBER NEWS
Hello all Hope you are all enjoying the course and the new additions. I am constantly looking for new ideas to keep improving the course. I will be budget planning very soon for next year - so If you have any suggestions - let me know! I have also popped in some dates to remember at the bottom - includes Club dates so have a look! Theresa
Membership Renewals We have retained 91.3% of our members this year which has been the highest to date. Thank you for getting them in on time and making the process a little easier! I have opened up the 7 Day category - but for very limited numbers. You as members will always get first refusal though. If you have a friend that wants to join you will be moved to the top of the waiting list!
Weather this Week stay safe - keep the course safe!
We have a very long stretch of very hot weather. Please make sure you grab enough water to take out on the course with you - and don't forget the sunscreen! I walked the course with Johnny this morning, we have seen patches of rough where a cigarette has been thrown in the rough and with it being so dry - has scorched a large area. Whilst we are in the midst of a heatwave I would ask you to only smoke in the designated areas on the course. Buckets with sand will be put out this afternoon on some the tees. Please respect the decision - it is to protect your course.
New Pins for YOUR course! We have invested in the latest Tournament Pins for the course. The feedback so far has been really good! Hope you are enjoying them - let me know what you think... I think these small touches to the course improves the look and playability. Not cheap - but well worth it!
Cost of living: Restaurant and hotel prices set to rise as hospitality firms grapple with surge in costs .... Cost pressures I am working hard to resist cost increases. Fuel, utilities, greenkeeping materials, and food and beverage prices are on the rise. Likewise, raw meat ingredients are up by as much as 30%. In the future, we may need to pass these increases on but, as ever, we will take a broad view of the hospitality industry and local golf clubs to ensure that we remain competitive while offering value when making these decisions. As you always have, please put your trust in me!
Free Members Range Night - 22nd June Even though costs may be rising, I can still find room for our now famous FREE MEMBERS NIGHT. • • •

Congrats to Jake Bruce, Adam Lowton, Andrew Richardson, Dave Wiltshire and Tony Walker who took home cash vouchers for winning the competitions
The Practice Field Is now open! Although slightly modified. The area is open for chipping only. The range is where you can hit your long irons, drivers and woods. The bunker has had a touch up and the green is in play. The other half of the field has been left to grow. The wildlife has returned to this area and it also makes it safe for you to chip here.
