Upcoming Events over the New Year
With Xmas upon us it is worth noting that the course will be closed on Christmas Day.
However on Boxing Day a medley Stableford will be held so that you can put to use those new Xmas golf clubs and/or equipment that Santa so genorously left under the tree!
On Saturday 3oth of December a special end of year team event will be held. A 666 Countdown. More news and rules as we get closer to the day.
On Sunday 21st of January a special shirt presentation will be made to the 2024 Pennant teams with a bbq and maybe a short game of golf.
Finally, on January 27th, a 4 person Ambrose event will be held with a shotgun start at 8 am.
This is our annual Memorial Day in memory of those members who have passed on to play golf on a higher plane.
After the game a BBQ will be held and the 2023 Mens Presentation of Awards will take place.
Be Sunwise
Hot sunny days are expected over the Xmas /New Year period and the sun is strong enough to damage unprotected skin throughout the day. Playing golf in extreme heat can also increase the risk of heat-related illness.
Here are four ways to manage the risks of UV overexposure and heat illness:
- Monitor the daily UV Index and temperature for your location.
- Players should protect their skin in five ways (Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek & Slide).
- Please be aware of the signs and symptoms of heat illness, such as nausea, dizziness, fatigue and weak, rapid pulse.
- Take appropriate action to prevent heat illness, such as drinking plenty of water, wearing loose-fitting clothing and taking regular breaks in the shade.
- Members and visitors are advised to take precautions to protect themselves from the effects of UV radiation and heat illness.
Football Pump
The battery we use to run our ball compressor is “tiring”.
If anyone has an old MGI cart battery (or similar) that they are not using it would be greatly appreciated if you could donate it to the club.
Please see Rod Hodkinson if you have any questions or have one we could use.
