New for 2014-15

Further to the AGM I hope that all members will soon be familiar with the following changes under the 'new regime'.


1- Starting with the roll up on Tues 4th. Nov. members will be in one of 3, rather than the present 2, divisions for prizes. Each division will have a 1st. and 2nd. prize only, although the overall prize fund will be significantly increased and 3 divisions should ensure a wider spread of prize winners. Division 1 will be for members with a playing handicap up to and including 19. Division 2 will be for handicaps between 20 and 24 and Division 3 for handicaps of 25 and above. Based on Alan's Eclectic List this will give 3 very even divisions at present.


2- The Captain's Charity Hole will become the 8th. with the pond in front of the tee (rather than the one to the side), being the place to play your ball before putting 50p into the collecting box. Anybody finding the pond from the 13th. tee will need to speak to the Captain personally.


3- The Captain's Charity is the Thames Valley and Chilterns Air Ambulance (TVACAA). I hope the members will be keen to support this very valuable, worthwhile cause. By coincidence it is TVACAA's 15th. anniversary in 2015 and they were looking to organise a golfing event as part of their celebrations. I have pointed them in the direction of our Seniors Open and I am expecting a lot of support from them for our major event.


Regarding more immediate matters:
  • The sign up sheet for the November Medal will be taken down at the end of the day on Thurs. 6th. Nov.
  • The sign up sheet for the U Boat Trophy will be available from Thurs. 30th. Oct.
  • The individual stableford roll up on Tues. 4th. Nov will include a N.P. prize for the 6th. hole
  • Copies of the Years Programme will be available from Thurs. 30th. Oct. I am very grateful to Mike Steward for producing these (once again).
