Quiz Night

Congratulations to Team Cantankerous who were the winners of the fundraising Quiz Night held at the golf club on Friday January 27th.

Eight teams had their brains stretched by Quiz Master Tim Smith, who put on a testing challenge with his combination of picture, word and general knowledge rounds. 

The Cantankerous team of Jane, Ed, Joan, Ian, Sally and Mike, pipped runners-up - Team Capres - by just one point. The victors are pictured with Tim and their wine bottle prizes.

Everyone enjoyed a half-time meal of bangers and mash, as well as a post-quiz raffle. The other winners on the night were the captains' charities, who are now £350 better off.

A big thank you is due to Tim and his wife Deb for putting on a great evening.

Turfing work underway on the 11th

Golfers who braved the Christmas fairways on Wednesday December 21st were pleased to see greenkeeper Shaun hard at work re-turfing the area on the top right-hand-side of the 11th hole. The course was looking great for the time of year, and this work is definitely an added bonus. A big thank-you is due to Paul and his team for transforming the course this year.

Festive fayre and fun at Yuletide

Around fourty guests and members enjoyed a wonderful Yuletide meal at the club on Sunday December 18th. The lingering snow and ice meant there was no golf before our food, but a good time was had by all.

For President Nick Taylor, there was the added bonus of a special presentation of a new club badge. Many people moved to the main bar afterwards to watch a thrilling World Cup final together, to complete a memorable afternoon.
