The sad passing of our Queen…

On behalf of PRGC we would like to extend our sincere condolences to King Charles III and the Royal Family at this intensely difficult time.

The special connection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to this country and the world is unprecedented and remarkable.  Her continuous presence across our entire lives has indeed for many created a near familial sense of loss.

We have recognised this at the club with tributes on all of our visual media and if anyone would like to watch the funeral with friends on Monday the 19th, we will be showing it on our big screen in the members area.

England Golf have advised for golf to continue throughout the mourning period and on Monday 19th, we will be inviting golfers to take a nip at the halfway house to toast the Queen and our new King.

And lastly, perhaps no one said it better than Paddington Bear; to our Queen we say...

Thank you for everything

Some interesting things we are doing to keep the golf fun at PRGC…

Please find below some of the actions taken by the Clubhouse team to make golf more enjoyable for everyone - little things but perhaps worth knowing about...

At every stage of the journey we want e-Player Card holders to remember the things which are important to keep it fun for everyone playing at PRGC.

From signing up and receiving their e-Player Card...

To making bookings and receiving their confirmation emails.

The priority on the tee booking application ie prior to arrival is wearing the correct attire.

The priority once at the club and playing is to ensure that everyone understands the value of repairing pitch marks, raking bunkers and avoiding slow play.

See below...

What every new e-Player Card Application Form includes...

Politely asking everyone to sign up to the mantra that we wish all golfers at PRGC to work to

What it now says at the top of every new e-Player Card

What every tee booking now receives when they book and within their confirmation e-mail.

Ladies Charity Raffle – Great Cause – Great Prizes – 14th September

The Ladies Charity this year is very dear to all of our hearts.  We are supporting the High Wycombe Stroke Unit - where our very own Sue D'Arcy, ex Ladies Captain at PRGC, is now being cared for.

A little about strokes and the High Wycombe Hospital Stroke Unit:

Strokes occur when the supply of blood to the brain is reduced or blocked completely, which prevents brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. A stroke can affect anyone of any age regardless of fitness or lifestyle;

Strokes are very common with over 20,000 cases per year in the UK. A stroke can last several years or be lifelong.

Although some people recover quickly many need long term support to help them regain as much independence as possible.

The Stroke Unit at Wycombe Hospital gives care in an environment specifically planned around each patients’ specific needs.

Effective treatment can prevent long-term disability and save lives

These treatments include Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Neurorehabilitation.

The work that this Unit does is outstanding and is a Centre of Excellence in the area.

Please click here to see the amazing prizes and find out how you can support the amazing work done by the High Wycombe Stroke Unit

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!
