CONDOLENCES

It is with great sadness we learned of the passing of club member Mary Hofstede last week. Mary was a long serving member of the club and will be greatly missed. Our understanding at this time is that Mary’s funeral may not take place for a few weeks. Funeral arrangements will be sent out once we are notified. Ou thoughts are with her family at this sad time. May she rest in peace.

CENTENARY CLASSIC

OPEN MIXED TEAM COMPETITION

On Friday this week we have a mixed team competition. This is part of our Centenary calendar and is an attempt to get ladies and gents playing on the same team. The format is simple with two scores to count on each hole. Any combination of ladies and gents is acceptable – three ladies and one gent or two ladies and two gents or one lady and three gents. Some of you may be a little shy to ask ladies or gents to play on your team – if so put your name on the timesheet and others will join. We have had a few requests to get ladies for gents – and gents for ladies – but putting your name on the timesheet is the easiest method. Please make this fun competition a success!
