Weekly News from the Office

COURSE WORK:
Work on the replacement bridge on the 14th is now complete, I hope that you will agree that the lads have done an excellent job.

Work on our second winter project; The construction of a new bridge at the first tee, where the present structure is now too low when the brook is in spate. The new bridge will be build at a higher level closer to the road and at the same time, we will make changes to the tee to improve playability and safety aspects.

1st WINTER TEE - OOB:
When the alternative 1st Winter Tee outside the Secretary's Office is in play, the area as definded by white posts remains 'Out of Bounds'. This is for reasons of Safety.
This area is NOT Out of Bounds when playing from the alternative 1st Winter Tee.

CAPTAINS DRIVE-IN 2012

Stover Golf Club’s outgoing Captain, Dave Marks, had two pleasant final duties to perform on New Year’s Day. 

Firstly to report that in excess of £11,400 had been raised for Club Charities;   £6,700 for Breast Care Awareness (which includes £4,200 raised by the Ladies Section, headed by Lady Captain Jane Vooght), £4,700 for ‘Prostate Cancer Research’(which includes £2,200 raised by the Seniors Section headed by Seniors Captain Don Rowe.

The second duty was to introduce the Captain for 2012, Colin Greenwell.  Following a very well received address to the members, in which he also introduced his Vice Captain, John Mitchell, Colin proceeded to the first tee whereupon, his very accurate but distance challenged drive, split the fairway – he did however have the excuse of not having fully recovered from nearly loosing his right hand to his band-saw!  His fine effort was duly applauded by the large assembled gathering.   The announcement, in the Clubhouse afterwards, that the
winner of the ‘guess the drive-in distance’ competition was
Neil Hayman, who generously donated to the 2012 charity.
