Eclectic No 10 - Saturday saw our Winter Eclectic commence again after four long weeks of frost! Steven Meiklejohn came out on top this week with a fantastic points tally of 40, closely chased by Joe Smith, Vic Taylor, Scott Brady and Stuart Hamilton on 39. It's been a long few weeks having been on temporary greens since the 18th of January until last Tuesday but hopefully we're now on the road to some sunshine!!
Winter League - A cold, windy day on Sunday saw our handicap Winter League team take on Leven Golfing Society here at Lundie. We managed to come out on top with an emphatic 4-0 victory which keeps us well in the hunt for honours as we approach the end of the winter programme. Well played guys!
Winter Alliance - Last Thursday saw Fraser and I head to Elie for the Midlands Alliance. This was our first hit together since Fraser started with me and on what was a cold but nice day, we enjoyed the banter to see who came out on top!! Obviously experience counted on this occasion with me edging him out by a few shots to take the fiver!!! Fraser's 75 to my 72 just wasn't good enough on this occasion for him to take the cash!!!
Click here for the full results. Fraser heads to Scotscraig this week for their annual Pro-Am, we'll update you in next week's newsletter providing he manages the centre of the clubface!!!
With the frost now hopefully behind us, the slightly milder weather will allow Willie and his team to get back on track and attend to the jobs they have been unable to do over recent weeks. The greens were double hand cut on Monday morning and with a light covering of top dressing, things are looking good as we approach the season opener on March 21st. With one more ten tonne burst due before the start of the season, all you beach worshipers will be glad to know that that's pretty much about it as far as sand is concerned until October!
Gorse management has gone well and really re-installs that traditional links look and feel. There are a few areas still to be attended to which will also hopefully aid in our pest control of the dreaded rabbits!!
As we approach the end of February we look forward to receiving our new stock for the upcoming season! With Callaway due this week and the arrival already of our FootJoy shoe range, we will be starting to see a little filtering of new 2015 products over the coming months.
With some remaining 2014 pieces still available, we will be doing a HALF PRICE special weekend this coming Sat/Sun (21st and 22nd February) on selected items.
As much as I want to advertise this in lights, on this occasion I'm advertising it here in my newsletter as a thank you to all of my customers that actually take the time to read my articles!! Just a little heads up!!
If you're reading this then again many thanks and feel free to pop down either Saturday or Sunday where we will have clothing from Galvin Green, Oscar Jacobson, Wolsey, Cross as well as bags from Nike, TaylorMade, Motocaddy, Callaway and shoes at half the normal price!!!
