Phil Greatbatch receiving the “Gorstyhill Classic Trophy” from Phil Stonier - Secretary/Organiser

Just a few weeks before the start of a new golf season and we have a great year ahead of us. We have eleven events planned this year, three of which will be on our Annual Tour in September and takes us to North Wales for the first time. The playing calendar is now complete and has been updated on the website.

Throughout the year I hope to arrange a few odd days out to include visits to courses like Wychwood Park, Buxton High Peak Golf Club, Hill Valley and Telford. I will try and give as much notice as possible in case any of you wish to play and need to arrange time off work etc. These extra games will not be eligible for the Society Order of Merit Competitions. I am hoping to arrange a competitive green fee rate at Gorstyhill Golf Club for anyone that wants to play on Friday afternoons  when we are not playing on Society Days—more later.

Arrangements for this years Tour are now complete and it looks great. The price of £185 is really superb value for money and I have to thank North Wales Tourism for their help.  I need your deposit of £30 and confirmation  that you wish to be part of the Tour, no later than Friday 6th March 2010 otherwise places will be offered elsewhere. More information on the Tour is available on our “Tour North Wales 2010” webpage.

The Friday Winter League held at Gorstyhill Golf Club has been really enjoyable with an average of six players every Friday. Anyone wishing to have a game just drop me an email. Good value for £10. We shall be continuing this arrangement until the end of March. At the moment John “Roll –up” Smith is leading the way—but there is still a long way to go!!!.

We are going to have a game of golf and a brief discussion about the year ahead during one Friday afternoon in March. I will advise you all of the date and if you can’t play the golf then you may wish to call in just for a drink at about 5.00pm.

Handicaps are changing and Andrew has designed a fabulous system that we can use throughout the year. It is a fair and accurate system and will reflect a true golf club handicap.

In the coming months our new website will allow you to put your own name onto the lists for those attending our events instead of contacting me. More later.

I shall be ordering more Polo Shirts and Sweat Shirts towards the end of March.

So, have a good golfing year and we’ll see you all soon.
