Martin Brindley Wins Golfer of the Year

martinA Fantastic year in which Martin won the Captains Prize and the mens shootout along with many other competitions as well as coming runner up in both the BDGA Championship and the Club Championship was topped off when he won the Golfer of the Year award. Martins 10 round aggregate total of 681 saw him winning the title by a massive 15 strokes and was no less than he deserved after a magnificent year. Martin's only dissapointment was the poor weather conditions towards the end of the season meant that the lift,clean and place rule had to be brought in which prevented Martin's scores that would have normally reduced his handicap to scratch from counting.


Winter Rules now in play

The club is now playing under winter conditions which means playing off mats is now in force. This year playing off mats from the rough has now been added to the winter rules.
