Last weekend's Stableford was unfortunately cancelled due to the greens flooding after intense rainfall early in the morning.
This weekend we have the men's invitation on Saturday and the 1st tee is closed on Sunday from 10am until 11am for a Junior competition and then from 12pm until 2pm for the Jack and Ivy.
The recent rain has softened the course and it is playing very well. Hopefully with a more settled weekend forecast many of you will get out to play and enjoy your golf.
Please call into the pro shop and have a look around we have some great sale items on offer.

Ryder Cup News: Tiger Woods will not be in the United States team for the Ryder Cup next month after withdrawing himself from consideration for a captain's pick due to injury.
The 38-year-old failed to qualify for the team outright and has now informed the PGA of America and Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson that, after playing just four tournaments on his return to action following back surgery, he does not wish to be considered for one of the three remaining places.
