Welcome to the Spring edition of the Mens sections newsletter, going forward we hope this will be a quarterly publication.
As you’ll all be aware we have had a damp and cold Winter, with golf in short supply, so hopefully as we are in March we can expect the weather and the Course conditions to continue to improve, especially as Easter is early this Year. I have been a member here for 20 odd years and seen a lot of changes, Wellow has always been a “Club” not just a “Golf Course”, and we need to try and re discover the “Club” vibe.
Part of the reason for this Newsletter is to try keep as many as our members as possible informed and involved with the upcoming events, which are organised by the Club, (not just the Golfing ones ) because without the members involvement these competitions , will sadly be canceled , as with the “Nations Cup” which has not been played for the last two years due to lack of numbers. We have moved it back to it’s original spot in November to see if we can return it to what was a widely anticipatedand very enjoyable event !..... Look out for the Entry forms in the Club Lobby.

A NEW ‘CLUB’ VIBE
The new club clothing is waiting to be unboxed, new hats in ready for the sun, grips to go on your clubs and golf balls waiting to be hit down the fairway and if you can't hit the fairway, then my diary is in the shop ready to book your lesson.
All the very best for the golfing year,
