Once again we are holding an Easter Egg Hunt which will begin on Friday and end when all the eggs are found over the weekend. When playing look out for the eggs that will be pinned onto trees buildings etc in some strategic places about the course. You might have to be in some unusual places to find them though. Return the eggs to the Pro Shop to receive your prize of a Srixon golf ball

Be on the look out for one of these over the weekend.

Junior Coaching

There was a great turn out this week for our Easter Junior coaching sessions with 18 youngsters joining Richard and Jonny for some golfing fun. At a time when many clubs in the area are experiencing numbers falling we are proud of our Junior coaching programmes that we have had in place for many years. With the motivation of chocolate Easter Eggs as prizes the young golfers went out onto the course and played the from the blue 150 yard markers playing the course to there scale. This was followed by nearest the egg and other putting test skills on the putting green afterwards. A big thank you to David Marris, Junior Captain this year for helping out on the day.
