Riverside Golf Society

April 19th brings the start of our 2021 season, a month later than normal due to Covid 19 restrictions. The March event at Whitehills has been re-arranged for early June so all being well we should be able to complete all events. There will be nine events this year and they are at Knebworth, Three Locks, Aspley Guise, Whitehills, Dunstable Downs, Mowsbury, Millbrook and Mill Green. The 2020 season was severely disrupted with most events having to be re-arranged but it was completed on time. The Order of Merit was shared jointly by James Wareham and Matt O’Neill with James picking up the Knock Out trophy. The Flagship Day was won by Alan Christie. Like all societies, we are always on the lookout for new members. We currently have a core of sixteen. If anyone is interested in joining us then please contact me. Details can be found at the end of this item. A typical day consists of coffee/tea/roll pre golf. Eighteen holes of golf followed by a one course meal. Members who finish in the top three will receive an American Golf voucher. Guests, whilst not able to win the vouchers can win prizes for nearest to the pin x 2 and longest drive. There is an additional team prize. Membership costs £50 per annum and each event costing £45 irrespective of where we play. An elected committee does all the work for you so all you have to do is to turn up and play, What could be easier? I look forwarding to hearing from you.
