Earlier this year members very kindly took part in a golf club survey organised by ‘Players 1st’ in conjunction with (and funded by) English Golf. Unfortunately the full and final results were delayed due to the English Golf representative being furloughed as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.

We sincerely hope everyone has been able to benefit with the change to allow groups of 4 balls which has eased the pressure a little on tee times. The return to having competitive golf through the “Pro’s Sweep” is also a welcome return to many of our members but unfortunately it appears to be causing situations around the first tee as informal gatherings are being created.
