We are delighted to announce the launch of Luke's new web page

Pro Shop - Princes Risborough Golf Club

and Pro Shop Catalogue

Pro Shop E-Brochure - Princes Risborough Golf Club

He has selected a cracking range of products and ensured that they were price matched to equivalent products on the internet.  He will continue to do a regular check to ensure we stay competitive with on line prices.  What this means is that we offer real value versus the high street retailers like American Golf eg for Hedgehog Wheels £29.99 Vs their £34.99 -  save £5!

His timing is perfect for Christmas and he is already taking in gift orders.

It is also great timing for winter solutions such as covers for your trolleys, umbrella holders. winter gloves, jumpers, gilets, jackets...

A massive well done to Luke on behalf of the management team and members

Captain Dick’s Monthly Update

PR GC   -   Captains November Message 2024.

Just a few words from me, this month, as obviously the AGM is on Tuesday 5th November at the Club, from 7.00 pm for a prompt 7.30 pm start, where your attendeance will be greatly appreciated.

Around the Club.

Our Pro Shop Manager, Luke Viney, has just released the Online "E Catalogue" of all things Golf, which of course is just in time for your Christmas purchases and presents. Luke price matched against equivalent internet products which means on some products we are much cheaper than other retailers like American Golf. So please chat to Luke about the items you might need.

The Course.

Is still in great condition, and the reason the greenkeepers have put the Winter mats out early, is because of the currently mild weather which is enabling them to re-seed some of the tees and other neccessary maintenance. White tees and gold and bronze tees will still be put out for certain competitions, subject to weather conditions.

Our HCP Secretary, Steve Williams, has very kindly worked his way again through all the numbers to produce schedules for the Mats course listing out the 95% hcp course details.

He has also pointed out that if you are in any doubt about your course hcp, just enter your GROSS scores on your card and our HDIDIDO machine should do the rest when you get back to the clubhouse.

Results.

Yesterday's first Seniors CBL match at home vs Weston Turville was a resounding 5 - 1 win to us. Well done to Steve Sargeant and the team. Further matches in November are vs Aylesbury Vale away, and Little Hay at home.

The mixed foursomes Hutley Cup 2024 was won by Liz France & Mike Smith.

The Seniors October Medal off Gold Tees was won by Bob Carter with a nett 70, beating Paul Gerrard.

The Seniors October Medal off White Tees was won by Dick Pooley with a nett 76, beating Tom Langton.
