5th Year Anniversary
The weekend of the 18/19 March will be our 5th Year Anniversary of Sam and Myself joining Mellor and Townscliffe Golf Club.
Looking at the photo, you can just about tell the difference between Sam and myself as he is a little taller. Where does the time go, and how things have changed over the last 5 years.
We have been through many face changes upstairs, but I am sure you will all agree that we have finally got it right with Martin and Zoe, not just looking after all of our members (with Sam and myself as chief testers) on a daily basis, but also filling the Townscliffe room with lots of club and private functions.
The greens team have been lots more settled though, and when we came the course was very good, but each year (with the obvious guidance of myself lol), it has got better and better and even with some of the wettest spells on record the course has stood up so well so is no surprise when you see how highly the course is rated in the area.
Geoff (secretary) joined at a very similar time to us and has been great also, as many will know, Geoff is waiting on a hip operation but this doesn't hold him back. I witnessed his record braking sprint on Tuesday, taking just under 10 minutes to get from his office to the pro shop for his chicken soup, well done Geoff.
The club, improvements all-round the club over the last 5 years, with the fantastic Mellor room revamp, along with the council carpark resurface and rendering on the front of the clubhouse.
The shop, hopefully as members and customers you have enjoyed the services and products we have brought in over the last 5 years, and I am sure that everyone who has spent some time in The Golf Studio would agree what a massive asset this is to the club. However, we are always looking to improve, so feedback is always appreciated.
Watch out for next week's newsletter with some celebratory one off offers throughout the store.
Modernising Golf's Rules
Last week the R&A proposed some key changes to the Rules of Golf from 2019. Their Rules Modernisation initiative has been underway for a few years now and this is the next stage in that process. The aim is to not only make the Rules easier to understand, but also to address some of the game's current problems, such as speed of play, and ensure they fit the needs of today's game.
Please spare a couple of minutes to complete our survey, which gives you the chance to have your say on the proposed changes.
We've picked out some of the most significant Rules changes for you to digest in this survey, before giving you the chance to say whether you agree or disagree with each of them. It'll be great to know your thoughts.
