Under Armour
Last week I took delivery of lots of new stock, including the winter range from Under Armour, this range includes winter snoods, woolly Pom Pom hats, pairs of gloves, lined trousers and new colours in the popular storm sweater.
Also arriving has been Stuburt & Callaway's new winter kit, including wind tops and waterproofs. The shop is absolutely jammed full now and hopefully I will be able to provide everyone's requests from stock.
Old Prestwick
Yesterday I was off to finish my competitive season by playing the MHF Pro Am at Prestwick GC, this annual Pro Am is a lovely way to end the season by playing one of our oldest links.My team and I finished joint 1st at Prestwick, scoring -12 in the team event. A fantastic way to finish the 2016 season on the Tartan Tour.
Monday Competition
As so many of you enjoy a Monday 9 hole competition, John & I have decided to run a winter 9 hole Stableford competition that will be open to all categories of member. I hope by organising this we can keep you all playing on a Monday morning, which has always been a busy day at the club. The competition will be played over the first 9 of the course and will commence on the 24th October.

Annual Dance
This weekend Men of Motown make a visit to Gourock to provide the entertainment for the 2016 annual dance. There are a couple of tables left, contact the bar for further information.
Member/Guest
With many of you utilising the facility to bring guests to GGC this season the committee have agreed to my proposal to encourage more guests during the winter. In light of this from Monday 17th October a guest sign in will be £5.
The same rules as usual apply: members are allowed 12 guests per year but the same person can only play 3 times in any calendar year.
