Well after moaning about our drop of rain in October and November last week, having seen the news of my old stomping ground in Carlisle this week I think I'll stop my moaning. As they say there is always someone worse off.

The high winds over the weekend didn't deter everybody with a few hardy souls battling round on Saturday. We were fortunate not to get too much rain and having played in the West Yorkshire Alliance on Monday I have to say the course was remarkably dry. Steve and his team started the drainage on the carry on the 2nd on Tuesday and as mentioned in the previous greens newsletter a couple of holes maybe out of action over the course of the winter.

It is the final Christmas competition on Saturday , Stuart and Cathy are kindly giving all competitors a bacon roll before play on Saturday so make sure that you arrive in plenty of time to have your bacon roll and get out to your tee in time.

So the format is Yellow Tees Greensomes Shotgun start at 9.00 a.m. A's please be ready to tee off at 8.55am HANDICAP ALLOWANCE 0.6 Lower 0.4 Higher (we'll do the calculations!) £10.00 per head to include Lunch, Sweep & "2" Club. Prize presentations for all four of the Christmas Competitions will take place immediately after so if you have won anything in the previous 3 competitions please try to be there to collect your prize.

A reminder that the Christmas Draw is up and running 
in the Pro Shop, and we will be drawing the winners

I understand the first showing of the Ladies Panto was well received, but there are still spaces to watch the main performance next Tuesday with the real Prince Charming!!

The Captain and I made the annual pilgrimage to Scarcroft for the LDUGC Christmas charity completion on Wednesday, along with the Vice-Captain and Vice-Captain elect. The Captain and I paired up with the Captain and President form Normanton missing out on the prizes on a count back. The Captain was the par 3 king parring all of them!
