Good afternoon all,
A fantastic week weatherwise, always a bonus to get to the start of October and we are still in shirt sleeves.
There is a busy weekend approaching at the club with the EGM on Saturday, The Victory Cup Sunday morning, followed by New Club Captain Peter Kilford's drive in on Sunday at approximately 1pm.
Everybody is welcome to see Peter smash one up the 1st fairway, there will be a sweepstake in the shop Sunday morning to guess the length of the drive.
