Ladies July Update from Beryl

Princes Risborough Golf Club

JULY NEWSLETTER FROM YOUR LADIES COMMITTEE

Hello Ladies

We hope you enjoyed your golf in June – it has certainly been very hot with no matches this month cancelled due to weather conditions.  The results for June are:

June results:

Wishlade Trophy                               Winner: Sue Pomeroy

June Stableford                                 Winner: Rosie Brand

Lady Captain’s Day Trophy             Winner: Sue Pomeroy

Sullivan cup                                         Winners: Liz France & Val Bate

The ladies had a most enjoyable Lady Captain’s Day this month, with lunch after the golf and a dinner in the evening at which a raffle was held in aid of our charity, MNDA, which raised another £175.  So far this year we have raised £2016.  A magnificent effort.

The Club Championship is a 2-day event played in June, the winners being awarded the Barcilon Cup.  The ladies Barcilon Cup (Club Champion) is awarded to the lady with the lowest scratch score over the 2 days.  The Handicap Champion Trophy (Handicap Champion) is awarded to the lady with the lowest score after handicap has been taken into account.  The winners this year were:

Club Champion and winner of the Barcilon Cup – Jill Peppett

Handicap Champion and winner of the Handicap Trophy – Judy Pope

(for those who do not know, Jill and Judy are mother and daughter, so keeping it very much in the family!)

Many congratulations to all the winners.

Only one match played in June – League v Chiltern Forest at home - which was a win for PRGC.

Clubhouse & upper car park area – the refresh continues apace…

Main bar patio

Work in progress but the team have been hard at work refreshing the flower bed onto the green - great work from Alexander, Dor Tubb and Sarah.

External doors:

All being refreshed, repainted and new signage applied - great work again from Alexander

Upper Car Park Sheds

Phase 1 commenced - new gates are being built across the front of the sheds to allow storage behind and a smarter look to the upper car park

This is in addition to the recent refresh work on the trolley / shoe cleaning area, the repainting of the Pro-shed and the refresh of the existing buggy sheds

More refresh news to follow...

New Lithium Buggy Update…

Phase 2 of the Lithium Buggy upgrade is complete!  Last year we purchased a brand new Lithium Buggy capable of doing 36 holes+ in a day.  Phase 2 has now been completed, we have upgraded two further buggies to an even more powerful Lithium battery - 105 amp.  These are capable of 72 holes in a day!  These changes alone have more than doubled our buggy capacity and made our fleet much more environmentally friendly.

For those observing recent activity in the upper car park you will have noticed the partial completion of a new buggy shed.  This will house phase 3 - a new buggy, also with a 105 amp lithium battery.  That's 4 powerful new lithium buggies - all capable of a full morning and afternoon shift!!

Charity Race Night – Saturday July 22nd 2023

Good Afternoon PRGC Members, this is a message from Al Bowyer and Jill Peppett.
Following the very successful quiz night held in March, the next joint fundraising event for Al’s & Jill’s charities (The MS Society and the MND Association respectively) is a Race Night being held at the club on Saturday 22nd July 2023 from 19.00, with the first race being at 19.30 prompt
Posters for the event will be on display at the Club.
Tickets are £15 each inclusive of a hot buffet, and are on sale now. Please share the details with your friends and families and book your tickets and reserve a table early.
Prior to the actual evening, you can also:
  1. Become a 'Race Sponsor’;
  2. ‘Own’ and name your horse;
  3. Forecast the winner and second in the correct order of any race.
Please read on to find out more. The beauty of sponsoring, owning, or forecasting prior to the event is that if for some reason you are not able to be present, you have secured your position, which will be yours on the night - present or not present.
RACE SPONSORSHIP
To sponsor a full race is £50 plus a raffle prize, and for this yours and/or your Company’s name will be advertised.
OWNING & NAMING YOUR HORSE
To own and name a horse will cost you only £5 and again your name will be highlighted. As owner, of course, if your horse wins you will get the ‘Winning owners prize’.
FORECASTING 1st & 2nd
To forecast the first and second horses in a race in the correct order will cost you £2 per forecast. If your forecast is correct, you will win an excellent return on your investment.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you on behalf of Jill and my charities for your support.
Kind Regards
Al
