Vets Captain's Update 2nd September

Fellow Vets

The dry and hot weather we have enjoyed in the past weeks seems to be coming to an end. The golf course is thankful for that even if no-one else is! It's remarkable how the fairways in particular have greened up so quickly after the recent wetter weather. The greens are in superb condition too, as good as they've ever been (in my opinion) since I joined the club.

Some good scores again in Tuesday's September medal competition, my match report can soon be found on the website once its been uploaded. (Link here -> https://martynheath.wixsite.com/vets/2022-medals )

No competition next week (Tues 6th), so just roll up if you fancy a social round but be mindful that the Vets Friendly match against West Malling will tee off at 08.38h (from the first and ninth), so please go out either before or after that.

The following week on Monday 12th September we are holding the Vets Team Invitation and I'm still looking for volunteers to host a team of 3 players from other clubs in our annual open charity event. Please do email me directly if you would like to play, there will be a fee for the f & b provision (breakfast snack and a two course lunch).

No competition either on Tuesday 13th but another home friendly match against Shirley Park SAVs. I'll be selecting the team shortly so please add your name via the availability tools on the website if you wish to be considered.

The invitation only Vets Masters follows the Tuesday after that. Enter only if you've been invited as a Vets competition winner from last year please.

Finally, please do remember to abide by the club's dress code - some guidance is given hereunder.
