Dear Members,

Membership Fees - 2012

Once again I feel I need to start on the serious matter that is money, your membership fees for 2012 are now due and whilst I fully understand the financial demands that Christmas puts on us all, it would really help the Club’s ‘cash flow’ if you could pay your membership fees as soon as possible and by the end of February at the absolute latest.

Dear Members,

Happy New Year

I’d like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope the New Year finds everyone fit and well and recovering from a very enjoyable Christmas and New Year. To anyone who’s feeling less than 100% (for whatever reason) I hope you return to fitness and good health as soon as possible, so that you are able to enjoy a good golfing 2012.

Dear Members,

Well, already we’re in to the throws of the Winter Cup and have moved on to the winter tees and temporary greens as the weather dictates. I must say, the new tees are very impressive, thanks to all those who have helped create them. Let’s hope the winter isn’t too harsh and that we are able to dust the clubs off most weeks throughout the coming months.

Dear Members,

A somewhat shorter note from me this month, reflecting that we are now through the main busy part of the season and have already drifted seamlessly in to the autumn months.

Dear Members,

Annual Club Dinner & Presentation Evening

This year’s Club Dinner and Presentation Evening is being held at the B2NET Stadium on Saturday 29th October 2011 starting at 7.00pm for 7.30pm, the cost will be £27.00 per person. This is a really good venue, with a very pleasant atmosphere. I hope a lot of you are able and willing to attend this year’s event to support your Captain and Club and, if you’ve been lucky enough to win something – collect your prize(s).

Dear Members,

Course News

On Tuesday 9th August a thorough inspection of the course was carried out by the Derbyshire Union of Golf Clubs (DUGC) to determine whether our Standard Scratch (SS) currently 68 against a Par of 69, was correct. We were subsequently notified that in fact the SS for the course should be 69 (the same as the par for the course).
