It is not known whether any of the Hobbits managed to make it from Middle Earth to Ivanhoe this morning, but there was at least one Orc that was more than happy to lie in bed listening to the rain on the roof and imagining the sounds of the downpipe gurgling its contents into the water tank. But, if anybody did make it and played and want to be credited with a social round, just let us know and your wish shall be granted – with appropriate authentication, of course.
With a whole new calendar year forthcoming, there is a lot to look forward to and it is an appropriate time to make those New Year resolutions. The only problem with New Year resolutions is that, by and large, they are only of any value if you actually stick to them. There could be the usual ones like giving up the smokes, limiting the drinks, being nice to the other half that would help your quality of life; but perhaps we should think of ones that will improve the quality of golf. Maybe things like, practice more, swear less, slower back-swing, full follow-through would help to improve the scores. Perhaps things like fill divots, repair pitch marks, cut out time-wasting would help to increase the enjoyment of the game for all.
So, whatever your resolution for the coming year, thank you for being part of the Club in the departing year and we look forward to seeing you on the tees in 2016.
To get things off to a cracking start, can we please get an indication of numbers for the January Monthly Medal on 02 January either by email or through the Registration App. We had some great turn-outs through December and would like to keep up the pace to get the year off to a flying start. Also, please note that the tee time is earlier than it has been over the last few weeks.
