MEGAN HOLMES TROPHY – Thursday July 27th and BERYL NICHOLS TROPHY – Thursday August 17th.
Don’t miss these 2 special Trophy days, sponsored by the Holmes and Nichols families. They are both Stableford format, Shotgun starts and include voucher prizes for both our 9-hole and 18-hole winners, in addition to the usual template prizes. We hope you will all stay for the post-game lunch and Presentations to fill up the club house as we acknowledge the Sponsors and the successful players.
2023 INDIVIDUAL MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS CANCELLED.
And now to some disappointing news. Due to insufficient player entries, our 2023 Match Play Championships will not be going ahead this year. We have ladies heading off on holidays, recovering from injury/illness and just generally busy with “life” and so we will put this event on pause for 2023 and reconsider our options for 2024. So instead, it’s Stableford for all! Enjoy this popular, stress-free format for a few weeks and maybe prepare for the 4BBB Matchplay competition scheduled to start on Sept 19th. And yes, those who have paid the comp entry fee will be reimbursed. Please see Jodee at reception if you have any concerns.
Safe travels and happy healing everyone. And to the weather gods – please keep our sunny Thursday rolling on!
Cheers
Lynda Wake
