Please read this to the end.
This Saturday on the 01/12/2018 sees the Junior AGM and Prize giving proceeded by a Texas Scramble on the recently upgraded Leitfie Course this gives all the juniors a chance to play and have some fun. Arrive for 11.30am tee off 12noon and AGM 2.30pm.
The Leitfie Winter League has started and Archie has 4 cards in already. Fun handicaps can be attained on the wee course and you can all play and give him a bit of competition. In March we will again be running Taster Sessions for local School children so if any of the juniors have friends who might enjoy trying golf, feel free to bring them along. Our “Parents into Golf” Sessions are also proving a success with 4 mums already signed up, which is brilliant, and we do hope some more will follow suit. We have now extended this to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even family friends so if you know anybody who might be interested in giving golf a go let me know and we will get them along. They don’t even need clubs and if they decide to become members they can join my Club Hire
Scheme which I have now extended to include adults. 2019 Membership letters have been sent out and may I take this opportunity to thank all our 2018 members for their support during the season and hopefully we will see you all rejoining. Centre fees and Clubs subs should be paid before the 31/01/2019 when the 2018 membership expires.
For the 38 on the Club Hire Scheme these fees should also be paid by the same date. Charges remain the same for 2019.
Set of clubs with bag £25
Set of clubs £20
Set of irons £15
Electric trolley £10
Manual trolley £5
If anyone has outgrown their current set let me know and I will arrange a refit. If anyone is not
rejoining the Scheme for any reason please return the clubs as they will be required for others and if
anyone has clubs they no longer require then I will be happy to receive then into the Scheme. There will hopefully be some exciting news coming up early next regarding the Scheme so watch this space. In the meantime I have just taken delivery of a nearly new Stowamatic Electric Trolley with carry bag which is available for hire now until 31/01/2020 for £10 - this will be done on a first come first served basis. ALREADY HIRED 7.50pm Congratulations Conan.
Failing to plan is planning to fail so everyone should now sit down and plan out their goals for next season. Once a goal has been set, plans have to be put in place as how to get there. Get your practice strategy in place. If it’s a handicap reduction make it realistic and achievable as you can always set new goals. The Junior fixture list is available now, the Ladies County list is on their blog but still being worked on, the Girls and Boys Junior lists are not available yet but watch their blogs and websites. Some of the Scottish dates are online so diaries out and get your season planned out now.
Best tip for improving your game is knowing your distances. How far on average you hit each club. Take 20 balls hit the same club and measure to the middle of where most of your balls finish. Practice your putting especially distance control and your short game by using a variety of shots to get the ball close to the pin.
