NEWROSSLADIES
Some lovely fine days over Halloween meant there was plenty of activity on our course. This allowed for some great scoring, especially from Adeline Foxe who only joined the club this year under the Get Into Golf scheme. Well done Adeline.
The place is in magnificent condition at the moment, dry underfoot with fairways looking resplendent in the winter sun. The new mower has been a godsend and the newly-acquired leaf gatherer means there is little trouble finding a ball even in the rough. Thanks to the groundsmen for their continued hard work.

The scoring in this game has been excellent so hard work pays off ladies. Thanks to the professionals for their interest and useful tips around the greens.
Thank you to two sets of volunteers. The Juniors were out on Tuesday, followed by the Get Into Golf girls on Saturday. Without your help these initiatives are not possible.
The future success of the club is dependent on a flow of new members so it is essential that both programmes continue over the winter and into 2018.
