Dear members,

Clubhouse Internal Winter Improvement Plan

Just a quick heads up; we are close to completing the refurbishment of the Princes Suite.  Feedback from members and visitors has been incredibly positive and a big thank you for all of your comments!

Room hire charges for events are per hour and very competitive for non-members:
Princes Suite - £30 + vat daytime and £50 + vat for the evening...
Banqueting Suite - £60 + vat daytime and £100 +vat for the evening
Orangery - £20 + vat daytime and £40 + vat for the evening

And FREE if you are a member!
... if you a member at PRGC and getting married or celebrating a big birthday event you can hire one of our function rooms for free - this is a huge benefit versus other clubs.  We are a very social club and also offer discounts on events for family and friends, so please don't hesitate to ask 🙂

Clubhouse External Winter Improvement Plan

Again, just a quick heads up; we are mid way through tidying up the area as you exit the course, including providing a new location to clean your trollies and shoes.

In short there are 3 stages:

1. A tidy new bin area capable of housing all of the bins (Bay 2)
2. A new, spacious shoe and trolley cleaning area (Bay 1)
3. A newly paved and tidied area where the old shoe cleaning area used to be

These areas have been prone to untidiness over the years and we are determined to put that right this year.

Dear PRGC Members,
I am striving to improve communications from your Committee and this is the first of my intended monthly updates to you all.

In this communication I have firstly attached the details of this years’ Members Committee which includes a number of important changes as Barry Woledge, Neil Martin and Doug Taylor all stood down after many years of sterling service.

These changes mean that we have 2 vacant positions, namely Competitions Secretary and Treasurer. If any of you are at all interested in helping the Committee and/or assisting with either of these roles, would you please make contact with me or Steve Sargeant so that we can discuss the options with you. In the meantime, Steve and I will do our utmost to cover these important roles.

The second attachment is the current January 2023 Club Diary. If you wish to play in any of the competitions then please simply follow the normal process for entry.

Should you have any related comments and/or queries please feel free to contact me or any of the Committee Members, and we will do our best to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

And finally, may I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy 2023 together of course with some great golf!

Best wishes
Al Bowyer

DECEMBER NEWSLETTER FROM YOUR LADIES COMMITTEE

Hello Ladies

The weather has been a bit mixed during November, with our away day at Wycombe Heights being postponed until next year.

The results for November are:

Inaugural Florida Scramble     Winners: Liz France, Alma Piddington & Gerry Walker

November Stableford            Winner:  Rosie Brand

Jill’s charity is MNDA and when the Bonus Golf competition was cancelled due to bad weather, instead of playing golf the ladies met for coffee and were shown a very moving video about Rob Burrow, who suffers from Motor Neurone Disease.

Polly Allen and Sue Pomeroy have put together a wonderful Christmas hamper to raffle in aid of the MND Association.  Raffle tickets at £5 are available from the bar where the hamper is now displayed.

As regards golf, we must just once again mention that hedgehog wheels must now be used on golf trolleys at all times.  Any players without hedgehog wheels must only use trolleys in the rough at the side of the fairways.

December programme:

Fri 2        Mixed Stableford

Sat 3        December Stableford

Wed 7      December Stableford

Fri 9        Mixed Stableford

Wed 14   Turkey Trot competition and lunch

Fri 16      Mixed Stableford

ENJOY YOUR GOLF LADIES AND HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR
