Clays Seniors Update

 

 

I write to you today a brief note, on almost the first day of rain since the lockdown began. It is certainly needed, and more!

 

I have seen quite a number of you at the golf club in the last few days, during our slow return to some sort of golfing normality. It has certainly been great to see familiar faces going around the course, and back enjoying the game.

 

For those of you who are still not able to return, however, our thoughts are with you at this time. When you are able to come back, it may help you to know that, in my experience, I have seen no deviation from the government guidelines, either going from the car to the tee, nor on the course.

 

I have been greeted and briefed on every occasion by Russ or Josh, and the speed of play around the course has been great.

 

The first tentative moves have been made to make the course acceptable for competitions, and this is clearly the next step.

 

Our ability to restart kitty completion format may need to come sometime after competitions start, as we need to consider carefully how to move forward with that stage, and may well need  to take note of guidance from the government, and the club.

 

A number of you will know that this coming Sunday would have seen the start of our annual trip to Devon, perhaps that’s why the rain has arrived!

 

I personally was really sorry to see it cancelled, but before we turn our thoughts to booking a place for next year, I would like to thank Fred Court, who has booked, administered, and run the whole thing for many years. His work is very much appreciated, and has not been made less because we are not going this time. Thanks Fred, good work.

 


Take Care Everyone
