Memorial Trophy
Saturday past saw The Memorial Trophy played, a scramble format which was well supported with a full tee sheet until 1pm seeing over a hundred competitors compete for our first team event of the year. As usual the scoring was impressive, coming out victors this week was the team consisting of Jenna Downie, her father Fraser, Alistair Russell and Alan Harley with a score of 53.7, closely following in second place with a score of 55.1 was our secretary Alistair, Dave Mason, John Paisley and James White.
Captain/Vice
This Saturday sees the start of the season with our annual Captain/Vice, with what looks to be a great entry all is set for a great day! The course is open as normal on Saturday morning however all golfers are reminded that the course must be vacated by 12pm as this event is a shotgun start, any golfer utilizing the facility pre-event - please be reminded that the fairway mats are still in use until our Captain hits the first tee shot for this season and whilst Willie and his team will do their upmost to keep out of everyone's way, the course will take preference in order to ensure the proper setup due to the competition format.

A New Face In The Shop
With my want to play in this weekend's event, and with my new man not due to join us until April, I have the pleasure of informing you that my good lady will be operating the shop for me on Saturday afternoon, be sure to swing by and put her under pressure - she believes it's a stroll in the park and also thinks she can multi-task!
As I write this week I've hopefully secured another new start! Katrina, who used to work in the clubhouse, will be joining us here on a part time basis over the coming weeks hopefully leading to more regular hours as the season progresses so be sure to be gentle however I am aware that many of you know who she is!
Pitchmarks!
With the recent mild weather and a busier golf course, the dreaded pitch mark topic has risen its head again! Could I please ask on behalf of everyone here at the club that when on the greens if you could possibly repair your own plus one?
If nothing else it'll improve your putting!
