2nd November – Rules Evening
A disappointingly small audience gathered in the Bistro for what was an enthralling evening led by David March (Head Professional) and David Follows (County Rules Official). With humour, great knowledge and expertise, together with anecdotes, the two Davids clarified many points in the rules that we all encounter in our golf. DO NOT MISS THE NEXT RULES EVENING – A “MUST” FOR ALL GOLFERS !!
