What an enjoyable St Andrews Dinner on Saturday night, some great speeches and a lovely meal. Thanks to John Sharman, Graham Capewell and Rob Smart for organising the event. Our Captain Elect of the men's section 2015 has been announced and I can say I'm looking forward to the challenge matches with Pat Rodgers already. Well done on your nomination.

12 holes starting from the 13th tee was the format for Saturday's Stableford. In Division One Roy Christian pipped Martin Battishill on countback after both finished with 25 points, one ahead of third placed Lee Pennington. John Body was at it again in Division Two, this time with 27 points to take top spot from Geoff Kimpton and Richard Larkins in second and third places, respectively, with 25 points. 

On Tuesday the ladies played a 15 hole shotgun start best 2 from 4 team event. The winners, with 72 points, were Kath Milligan, Helen Billington and Anne Chadwick. Congratulations also to Sue Humphries, Barbara Jamieson and Kate Dean for scoring 2's.

The drainage work on the first is now complete and the contractors will be moving off the third and starting on the second this week. Once this work is complete the course will have very few wet areas, if any at all, making for great Golf all year round.

The remainder of the personalised Titleist balls should arrive this week. We will contact you once they arrive but feel free to pop in and check. This has been a success again this year. Watch this space for similar promotions throughout 2015.

This week's Christmas gift idea is the new Nike golf waterproof range with a choice of either the highly acclaimed Hyperadapt jacket (£169.99) and Storm-FIT lite pants (£99.99), or the Storm-FIT suit (£119.99) all of which come with a lifetime warranty.

Don't forget, if you are still racking your brain as to what to buy this Christmas but to no avail, we do Gift Vouchers for the shop that are available in any amount you desire. We can post them out or serve you over the counter when you visit the shop.
