Well let's start with the positive...

I didn't give any balls away celebrating my 13th Anniversary at Moortown last Saturday in the 5 club. 

Friday morning we got a second covering of snow for the week and then rain all day Friday left scenes of devastation across the course. 

   

The above shows the scene at 8am on Friday morning on the 17th and the scene 8 hours later as the rain started to come down. I was thinking of advertising for a canoe expert to come and pick the balls on the driving range. Then Saturday morning these two nipped on the 7th without paying a green fee! 

   

5 club competition update

The 5 Club competition was rescheduled for the 26 March. I think there was some confusion over the tee times - you will need to rebook for the 26 March tonight at 5pm, the times will not be carried forward. 

The course re-opened on Monday and Tuesday and then as you all know it rained all day Wednesday and we were back to square one. Anyway looking on the bright side we look like we might be in for 10 days without any rain - hopefully that will let the water get away and we can start enjoying some golf. 

Captain Pro Challenge

Notice geos up at 5pm tonight. Be quick as these are always snapped up.

Ladies Fashion Show

Despite the snow last Wednesday we managed to hold our ladies fashion show evening. 

Around 30 ladies came out on a cold, wet evening to see the latest colours and designs from Rohnisch, Under Armour and Galvin Green which were on show in the club house. 

Jo, Eddie and Tom were busy taking the orders while Rohnisch rep Mandy Sewell gave advice on style, sizing and fit. I did my best to ensure everybody had a glass of wine or two and Stuart provided the canapes. 

Thanks to all the ladies for their support and orders which are all now in store ready for collection. Now that's what I call service! 

See below for yours truly with Marie Tkaczyk and Lady Captain Didi Powers and Immediate Past Captain Sue Rogerson, with Jo Parsonson and Rohnisch rep Mandy Sewell.

Prostate Cancer UK Marathon Walk

The 22nd March seems to be fast approaching -sort of thinking this wasn't a good idea, but so many of you have been so generous we are going to have to do it. 

I really hope that a few more of you would be so kind to add your contribution to a very worthwhile cause, we are so close to the £1,000.
