England Golf are very keen to attract more women into golf and we are one of the first clubs to really get behind their new charter.

PRGC are making this incredible offer in the first instance to the lady friends of our membership.. Last year we successfully attracted 4 new lady members into the club and this year our target is to double that to 8!

Please ask your friends to contact us via the website Ladies Get Into Golf Contact Us Form - Princes Risborough Golf Club

We will extend the offer beyond our membership in mid February unless we have already taken on our target 8 new recruits 🙂

Thank you

ps this offer is only valid for new members.

We would like to thank all of our members and e-Player Card holders for their support for the new safety measures PRGC brought in during Tier 4.  Feedback was unanimously positive; it  made our golfers feel safer and helped them enjoy their experience just that little bit more.

When we return to Tier 4 or 3 in the near future we will be continuing with this Play Safe, Stay Safe strategy.

Just prior to lock down we had some supportive messages  prepared to act as helpful reminders...

• On the paths leading to the 1st / 10th tees we have created 4 waiting areas - each enabling golfers to remain 2m apart
  - 1 and 3 are waiting areas for the 1st tee.
  - 2 and 4 are waiting areas for people feeding in from the 10th.  Masks at 2 and 4 are only required when the course is busy and there is a queue for the 1st.
• After completing your round you are asked to wear your mask again as you leave the course and return to the car park.  We have also placed some reminder messages here.

Other measures to support this initiative are:

• Mandatory Check In procedures on website
• All appointment confirmations and reminder emails have a 'masks between car park and course' message.
• Clear communication that the only 'social' is on the course not in the car park

We would like to particularly thank John White and the Friday Stableford team who initiated and trialled this on behalf of the club.  Another great example of what makes this club so special - going one step beyond wherever we can.

Feedback from e-card holders and members is that when golfers wear masks between their cars and the course, it makes everyone feel safer and enjoy their experience just that little bit more.

May we please therefore request all golfers to comply with this from now on - all members and all e-card holders please.

Please politely remind each other, but please do not fall out over it.  Remember not everyone is able to wear a mask.

Thank you for your ongoing patience and support - won't be long now.

Remember that old paper Rule Book?  it is now very much a thing of the past!!  Along with the new World Handicapping System, the R&A are modernising and simplifying their rule book all the time and the paper based versions are out of date almost as soon as they are printed.

Check out the latest R&A online rule book...

For example - water hazards like our lakes and ponds are now called 'penalty areas'! and there are videos and diagrams which clearly and simply guide you through the rules.

Rule 17 now covers penalty areas within the online R&A rule book - check it out here or via our Frequently Asked Questions on the PRGC website

NB Always check out any local rules which also apply.  For example, golfers must not attempt to play from or retrieve a ball from the lakes and ponds as it seriously damages the lake beds, causing leaks.

It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of this year's Christmas Eve Texas Scramble.

The tee times have been opened up for booking and are going fast so please contact Sarah if you wish to play as a 2 ball.
