Greetings from Stretton Wright
Hornsea Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional

Well after a couple of weeks break from the newsletter for Christmas and the New Year I'm back with all the news for you with what has been going on at the Club. I hope you have all had a great time and all the very best for 2015. I hope it's a good golfing one for you all.

Big fitness campaign again for me as I lost track last year after my heart trouble but really need to get myself back in the gym. I'm sure I will see a few of you in there!! 2 stone is my target to try and loose this year. You will all have to put up with me with a beard again until I lose my first stone too. I know it looks silly but it is my way of motivating myself.

          

There was a funny moment outside the shop on Tuesday 30th December. Dave Topham went into his carry bag just before teeing off to find a member of his family thought it would be funny to add a little extra weight to his bag!!! Guess that was his families' way of getting him fit!!!

My New Years Draw yet again was a great event and can I say a big thanks to all who bought tickets and then to those who came to support the draw. The clubhouse was full and a great afternoon was had by all. The winners can be found by clicking here

I don't think I have missed anything!!!



We didn't have any challenge matches over the festive period so in the end 5 couples managed to beat myself and Keith this year. Well done to those pairs. Can I just take this opportunity to thank Keith for not only been a great partner but also fantastic company too. Thank you Keith.
The list for 2015 Captains Challenge will be going up shortly.

Talking of Alan I must mention his drive in which took place on New Years Day after my draw. For those that don't know Alan is a refrigeration technician and so was dressed up as The Refrigerator; the guy who used to play American Football. He did really well after a slightly dodgy start!! His first ball ended up near the 18th green!!! After that though most of his shots where good. I'm going to have to sort the twizzle he does though before he swings!!! Well done Alan I hope you enjoy your year.

     



Over the Christmas and Yew Year period our greens staff tend to take it in turns to take a bit of time off so not much work other than the day to day setting up of the course has been done. This week the greens have been slit, all bunkers raked, dyke on the 2nd cleaned out and the course generally given a good tidy. Weather permitting the rest of the turfing work should be completed on the bunkers on the 7th and 8th this month. If the weather is too bad to turf, the removal of the trees on the 12th is the plan.
Yet again pitch marks are a major problem. Can everyone please repair at least one per green. Also the amount of people not taking trollies and buggies around the ropes is very noticeable. I'm sure nobody wants a full trolley ban so please do not take buggies or trollies over the ropes.



Our new chef Paul Nelson started on New Year's Eve. Good luck Paul, I hope you enjoy working at Hornsea Golf Club. I'm sure he will have some great ideas. The kitchen will be open at weekends from 8am and midweek from 9.30am for those of you that fancy a bite to eat before you play.
The next function to be held in the clubhouse is 'Burns Night'. For those that haven't attended before it really is a great night. You can book in the bar now.

Note from the Chairman

The Club is very pleased to inform members that Mr Howard Palmer has been invited to become President of the East Riding union of Golf Clubs for the year 2017. This is a very prestigious position and he will join an illustrious list of Hornsea Golf Club members to hold the ERUGC Presidency. We are sure that all members will join us in congratulating Howard on this great honour.

Are You Covered?

Just before Christmas one of our members was hit by a golf ball whilst walking from one hole to the next tee. He was ok but the incident could have been much worse had the ball struck him 6 inches higher he told me. Can all golfers please make sure that before you take your shot that the way in front is clear. If any of you have ever been struck by a golf ball you will know what sort of damage it can cause. With this in mind can you all read the following article. Golf insurance is something every golfer should have and is not expensive.
