PRINCES RISBOROUGH GOLF CLUB
AL’s CAPTAIN’S DAY - SATURDAY 26th AUGUST 2023
Dear All,
I am excited to give you details of my Captain’s Day which this year is being held on SATURDAY 26th AUGUST. Firstly, I want to take this opportunity to give a big thankyou to the Club Management and their teams, and your Committee, for the support they have all given me over this year.
I would request that you register asap for planning purposes, by entering your name on the Sign In sheets in the changing rooms OR contact me directly either by email – albert.bowyer@btinternet.com – or telephone 07807 776461.
It is important that when you register you also let me know how many additional family and friends will be attending the lunch and fun social get together after so that we are able to properly manage the ‘après-golf’.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or queries you may have either by email, telephone or when you see me at the club.
I am very much looking forward to us all having a fun and enjoyable day and sincerely hope you and yours are able to support it.
