We are about to enter the final week of the Winter Stableford. Jake has taken the lead again with a fine 39 points last weekend, ahead of Dr Tom McMaster and Andy Howell on 36 points. A.MacPherson, S.McGowan and J.Millar all made a two to claim £10.50 each. It is all to play for this weekend between Stevie and Jake.

Well done to the boys who have defended the trophy shown in the photo here.

They have won the Sam Esler for a second time and now Stuart has an excuse for a new blue suit?? Playing last Saturday in the beautiful spring sunshine with freshly cut and rolled greens, they recorded a hard fought 3&2 win over Ricky T and Brian McVean.

Well done to team Murray.

Hopefully you will all have received an email this week with your unique BRS code. This will let you enter the club BRS online booking system. Please have a look as now we are now LIVE, the time sheets previously used are now obsolete - all bookings for tee times must be booked through BRS. The booking sheet for opening day of season (4th April) is now available on the PSI screens in club and online from Thursday at 7.00pm.

Work started on Sunday morning to rip out the old bar in preparation for the builders. With work forging ahead, a lot of brick work is being taken away to be replaced by a new steel been which will open up our new bright bar area. As you can see from the picture below it looks a bit different. We appreciate all of your patience whilst these works are carried out, there is a limited bar service operated by the staff from the lounge and seating available in the members lounge only.

The course is looking very healthy due to the good weather we have been experiencing. With long sunny days and no rain we have been able to get on with cutting and preparing the surfaces for play. With the purchase of a turf iron last year (pictured above) we are now getting to use this machine. This will roll, smooth and compact our surfaces all of the year. It is a great bit of kit, hopefully you will all see it in action during the season.

This week I have taken delivery of my first stock of the new FootJoy shoe range and an exclusive shoe made by adidas. Their Tour Traxion TR is only available in Foremost pro shops and at the special price of £79.99.
