Curlewis Golf Club – August 16, 2018

August 15, 2018 BY

ANOTHER wintery week has passed at Curlewis with raincoats and beanies being popular items of clothing on course this week. Many of our members and guests fought against freezing cold temperatures, some rain and gale-force wind this week at Curlewis!

Speaking of the course it has been a credit to our ground staff on how well the course is playing despite the conditions course is continuing to make some nice improvements with the vast, re-sculptured waste area between the 10th and 11th holes is in play and has made the 10th hole a lot more daunting, especially for any golfer attempting to drive the green. Fingers crossed that coming into some nice spring weather will see the course in tip top shape for our open week in October and for our upcoming club championships. Also a big congratulations is in order for Judy Scarrott and Pat Malloch for coming up trumps in the ladies Margaret Jones match play final on Thursday. Their fantastic play saw them edge out Kaye Kelly and Debbie Mckee in a hotly contested final match. Eagles: Callum Stowe on the 10th on Sunday. Sunday August 5: Mixed PAR – 30 Players.
