Hello golfers
Autumn on the Greens is nearly here! There will be a hive of activity at the club this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, as we welcome 132 ladies, including seven entries from Australia, to enjoy our course and facilities.
A reminder that the COURSE IS CLOSED this week on THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.
Many of the visiting ladies will be playing a practice round on Wednesday 20 May. Therefore, Nine + Wine will take a week off and resume at 1.30pm on Wednesday 27 May.
Office reminder – Now that the cooler months are upon us – If there’s a frost, no play is permitted until 9.30am. Why? Playing on a frozen green may cause long-term, costly damage as the greens are susceptible to lasting impressions from foot traffic.
