Competition golf
We are now playing winter competitions from the blue tees for the men
What did we achieve in 2024?
After a lot of consideration and discussions with the Ground Staff members will have noticed that some of the bunkers are being grassed over. This may affect our slope rating in the long run.
Work is ongoing on drainage around the course, in particular near the 6th where new drains have been installed and currently on the 2nd which has suffered during the prolonged summer rain.
Further changes to the World Handicapping System (WHS) came into effect in April 24 and the Handicap Committee are working hard to ensure that your handicap in maintained in accordance with the new and existing rules.
Moving into winter we expect that qualifying golf will be played throughout the season (weather permitting) using a winter measured course.
Don’t hold you breath for that one
