Winter Competitions Begin at Ashton

This Saturday is the first in our Winter series of 4 ball competitions. The 2 x 2 Tee start format will continue with play from 1st and 10th tees starting at 8am until 9.30, the 2nd wave then starts off both tees at 11.30 until 1pm. 

This weekend we have approx 190 golfers taking part, and with limited daylight we are as usual playing 14 holes. 

Please be mindful of your pace of play and keep up with the match in front. We will again have the rake and place rule in bunkers and also you will be able to take your 1st putt with the Flag still in which also should save time. 

With lots of golfers to get around the course pace of play is crucial for everyone's enjoyment, please play ready golf.


 

New Lady Members 

We have quite a few New Lady members on a taster membership and we have been coaching them on a regular basis. As they are all new to the game I would ask all members to be courteous and welcoming to our new recruits. 

Our own Ladies have been taking them out on the course to show them round and also making use of the 2 new holes when they are not in play to help the new ladies to feel more relaxed as they are learning the game.


 

Richards Just Cruisin...

Richie has been swanning around the Caribbean for the last couple of weeks on the Britannia. As you can see from the pictures he has a new best mate, Sam Bailey the X Factor Winner who is entertaining on the ship. I am sure he will tell you all about his adventures when he gets back next week.

  

 

Lucky Me...

I have been very lucky this past week to play Royal Birkdale and also Turnberry, both of which I have played at in the Open Championship in 1986 (Turnberry) and 1991 (Birkdale). 

 

Trump Turnberry as it is now called has recently had some re-design work on several holes, and whilst it was a great course before, the changes have made it even better. 

I played with 3 great Professional friends Ian Lee, Peter Barber and Andrew Murray who were all truly blown away by the Golf course and its natural beauty. 

The Iconic Lighthouse has now been turned into possibly the best halfway house in the world, but as it was almost November sadly it was closed, but what a view...
