The Greenskeepers certainly got their revenge on 91 players today. Pin placements were diabolical on some holes and smaller cups on others made putting very interesting. I have been back playing at the club for roughly 5 years and todays comp was honestly the most fun I’ve had playing! I received a lot of very positive comments from members who also enjoyed todays event. Genuinely appreciate the positive feedback! Roger came up with a putting points competition that was added to the event which was brilliant!

Thank you so very much to Roger and the Greenskeepers for all their efforts and support in setting up this event and kudos to Wilbur Salter for getting the ball rolling with the comp eventuating.👏

Winners of the Greenskeepers Revenge 4 Person Ambrose:

Kev Bartlett, Darren Hubery, Mick Walsh and Michael Hancock (8.38) 55.62.

A member has had 2 Golf Cart Sand Bottles accidently removed from his golf cart. One was painted Black and the other Yellow. These were accidently removed from the shed where all the hire carts are kept. If they could be returned by the person who took them by mistake, it would be greatly appreciated!
