Mixed friendly with Cottingham 21st July – 8 couples played the weather and food were great very enjoyable day Cave Castle won. Thanks to everyone for their support.
25th July Ladies Away Day to Laceby Manor – 17 ladies attended. Lovely course, even though it was quite tough. We played an individual stableford, Chris Dry won – Liz Swann came second the weather was great, good food. I think everyone enjoyed the day I know I did. Thank you to all the ladies who came.
Ladies Invitation Day on the 9th- thanks to Captain Tony and Vice Captain Mike for running the halfway house, very much appreciated. Although there weren’t as many entries as I would have liked it was a lovely day the course, the food and the company were excellent. The winners were myself, Alison Eyre and our guests with a score of 95 points. Lady Captains weekend is all in hand with the mixed on Saturday and the ladies Regional Trophy on Sunday (hope the weather holds). Next EGGs and LEGs on 22nd poster is in clubhouse need to drum up support. Poster up for mixed friendly at Beverley 2nd September - 8 couples filling up fast.
4.3 Greens
Chair thanked Les for the condition of the course, the jets on the shoe cleaner have been changed because the original ones were to powerful.
The waste bins are emptied on a regular basis, and it was just unusual that they were overflowing that weekend.
The Chair was asked if he could ask if we could have a practice bunker sited somewhere, also the area to the left of the 1st tee that is presently overgrown can this be made into a practice area, Chair said that he would raise the ideas with Les.
