MARCH NEWSLETTER FROM YOUR LADIES COMMITTEE
Hello Ladies,
Although the Omicron variant is still very much with us, the Government has now removed all Covid restrictions in England. As regards the course, this means
- Flags are back in the hole
- All bunkers are back in regular play and rakes are back in the bunkers
- Bunkers in development will remain GUR until 1st April at the earliest. You must therefore still take relief if your ball is in the new turf or you have to stand in the new turf.
If in doubt please check with Mark Tubb or John Harvey.
Please watch out for further advice from PRGC as regards clubhouse protocol.
Results of our February competitions are:
2 February 3 Ball better Ball – Winners: Rosie Brand, Arlinda Chaplin & Melinda Pooley
5/9 February February Stableford - Winner: Jacqui Taylor
16 February Competition cancelled due to weather conditions
21 February Blind Holes – 18-hole winner: Melinda Pooley, 9-hole winner: Wendy Terry
Well done Ladies!!
