We had a great evening on Thursday at the Stag Dinner. Comedian Ian Richards proved to be an exceptional after dinner speaker entertaining around 80 members and guests with his comedy routine. Being an accomplished low handicapper himself, he has a unique insight into what makes golf events tick and it showed on the night.
I'm also looking forward to partnering Doug Misson in Sunday's competition. For your information the course will re-open from approximately 11am from the 1st tee only.
Picture of the week
Junior member Luis Brown, aged 9, is our picture if the week. Mum and Dad, Paul and Natalie, sent this image in of Luis in his new ProQuip waterproof suit. It is a great picture and one we just had to share with you all. Thank you Luis the Pro Shop Team all think you look great.
Watch out for your balls!
If you have recently lost a ball whilst playing the 8th hole we may have found it for you. I had a report sent to me by email this week by Marian Earle and Pauline Bond that they had found a ball in a very unusual spot. If you look high in the trees on the left-hand side of the 8th fairway opposite the fairway bunkers, you will spot a golf ball embedded in a birds nest.
For a number of years many golfers have witnessed crows lifting golf balls and flying away with them around the 8th and 15th holes. Now we know where one of the culprit lives.
FootJoy shoes for 2016
This week I went along to FootJoy's HQ in St Ives to view their new range of footwear for next year.
Once again the styles and colours from the No1 golf shoe manufacturer look great for the new season and for those members who have width fitting issues we will be stocking a much broader range of fittings from early January next year.
For the ladies some new colours with matching gloves will also be available.
