Another Seniors Win! Unbeaten this year!!

Good Afternoon All,

For personal reasons Doug Taylor, our Seniors Captain, had to withdraw from today’s away match against Weston Turville and therefore as his stand in, I thought I would let you know the result.
I am very pleased to advise that the team won yet another game - this time 4 - 2. (Last year we got thrashed 5 - 1!).
Many thanks and congratulations to the whole team of David Orford (who stepped in at the very last minute), Mark Richards, Pete Smith, Dave Mackenzie, Sunil Soni, Andy Wagerfield, Mark Stinchcombe, David Neighbour, Dick Pooley, Steve Williams and Mike Smith, for yet another superb performance.
I am not sure you are aware but currently this year your Seniors are having a great season and are unbeaten in their friendly matches.

And remember, if you are 55 or over, and would like to represent your club in the Seniors matches and you have not yet advised Doug Taylor of your interest, then please contact him (and me) and your name will be added to the list of potential players.

Thanks for your support,
Best wishes
Al

Paul Rogerson – Grass Roots Golf

Massive thank you to Paul Rogerson who not only encourages grass roots golf with his innovative golf games - he also raises money for great causes (£90 - part of which goes towards the Bucks Ukraine Charity)

Big thanks also to Bruce who sponsored the Speen Fete golf game with a junior lesson.

The junior first prize was won by a 5 year old who put three out of four into the brolli!
Grandad was very pleased and will be taking her for a buggy ride and a putt around the course.

Nice work Paul!

Having defeated Badgemore Park, Windmill Hill and Burnham Beeches our men’s singles team are now in the third round of this years’ BB&O Hillman Trophy. A win in the next round against either West Berkshire or Henley will put the team in the quarter finals. Well played.

THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP:

The Barcilon Cup scratch competition and the Handicap Championship: Ladies and Gentlemen

This 36-hole event embracing both the scratch and handicap championships will take place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 June. Presentations will follow the golf on Sunday 26th June. Signing up sheets are on the notice boards. Please do sign up no later than Wednesday 22nd June. There will be no “on the day” entries.

The bad news this year is that the committee have decided in order to keep the entry fee for this competition within reasonable bounds, there will be no post event BBQ on the Sunday. This is a break with tradition but the cost of the BBQ outweighs the benefits. Any participating players who wish to dine after golf on Sunday 26th June should make their own arrangements directly with Trisha.

The good news is the entry fee will be reduced to £10 payable via the envelope system before play on Saturday 25th June.

PGA NATIONAL PRO-AM CHAMPIONSHIP: A MIXED event

Our qualifying event, open to ladies and gentlemen, will take place on Saturday 23rd July. To participate you must sign up in advance with the PGA and pay your entry fee direct to the PGA. Please follow the links in Bruce’s letter which you will find on the PRGC website.

Clubhouse Update from Sarah Tietjen 23.06.22

Dear members,

we have been so pleased with the feedback on all the new activities within the clubhouse

New Bean to Cup - Coffee Machine

The feedback on the coffee machine has been fantastic and thank you all so much for all of the positive comments during the trial.  We have now committed to purchase and the new machine will be delivered shortly, configured to our cup sizes and coffee preferences.

New Outside Furniture

Once again, this has been a real hit and we thank you all so much for all the positive comments.  We are continuing to improve the outside areas - watch this space.

New Function Space - Orangery

For those who haven't seen the new flooring and decor within the 'Orangery' (was the old buffet area) - it is proving to be  real hit!

New Beers

Please say hello to some new beer options we are trialling, including a new alcohol free range (Guinness, Speckled Hen and Doombar) and the amazing new pale ale -  'Ice-breaker'.

New Lithium Ion Buggy

Earlier in the summer we committed to purchasing a new Lithium Ion buggy to compliment our existing squad.  It is lighter, incredibly reliable and environmentally friendly.  Once again, great feedback from members on our push to be more environmentally friendly.

New Staff - Please give a warm PRGC welcome to Maddie and Luke

Delighted to introduce Maddie and Luke to the clubhouse team - please make a point of saying hi and introducing yourselves.  They are already making a great contribution already!

More to come...

We have more plans to improve your clubhouse experience across the summer / autumn and will keep you posted!

Looking forward to seeing you all up at the clubhouse
