Not long now to we publish our events calendar for 2021 which, now that Covid restrictions are being eased, as long as we all continue to keep safe all our events will progress as planned.
All team managers now have their league packs and should be good to go from next week when the first scheduled matches in the Gents leagues will ‘tee off”.
As ever we couldn’t hold any events without the magnificent support of our member clubs, and this year is no exception so here’s hoping to much more golf and a lot less lockdown from now on.
2021 Order of Merits
With a varied selection of Association and Member club events, we are sure that there will something in the calendar for all skill levels and, even if your game isn’t quite on point, at least it will be chance to catch up with old friends after a very challenging time over the last year or so, however, no hugging just yet.
