Designated car parks; Car parks facing the club house have designated position names on them. Please keep them free for those people


Bunkers, divots, pitch marks;  We have a handful of members who spend many hours raking bunkers for us. That doesn't mean if you go in them you don't need to rake them. Please always without exception, rake the bunkers before exiting to remove foot and ball marks. Likewise pitch marks on greens and divots on fairways and in the rough should be repaired or replaced. 


Trundler Shed; Yet again can I remind members using the trundler shed, If you walk out and just push the door behind you, it is not locked. You need to push the bottom right hand button once the door is closed, so that the electronic locking devise can work. PLEASE, the door is being left unlocked day after day.

Plenty of Golf happening at the Club this weekend. Good luck to members playing matches and Pennants. 

Good Golfing
