May 2011

Dear Ladies

May I take this opportunity to promote various competitions and events taking place over the summer  months.

LADIES INVITATION DAY

This event is on Sunday 12^th June to invite a friend from another golf club. It’s a chance to show off

the high quality of our golf course and our clubhouse. An entry sheet is now posted up on the competition board in the locker room.

SUMMER OUTING

This year’s Ladies summer outing is to The Hirsel Golf Club, situated on outskirts of Coldstream  on Sunday 31^st July, with teams of 4 playing in the Club’s Ladies Open Tex-Mex. Details of the outing are now up on the notice Board in the locker room.

FRIENDLY MATCHES
These events are now underway. Sheets have been put up in the Ladies locker room with details of up and coming friendly matches. Please can I encourage everyone - if they have not already done so - to put their names up, for an opportunity to play other courses and enjoy their hospitality. These events also give us an opening to encourage visiting ladies to join the Glen. Look out for the outcome of these matches which will be posted on the Results page of the Ladies section on the Club’s website.

MAIL ON SUNDAY CLASSIC and DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

The team for 2011 are having a great season and have recently beaten Eyemouth in the 5^th round of the competition. The match was played on the evening of Wednesday 18^th May in the most horrendous weather conditions. We will now be notified of our opponents in the next round by 3oth May.

Unfortunately our representatives of the Daily Mail Foursomes Ann Nimmo and Diane Huish have been knocked out after a tough match against the ladies from Gullane.

NEW MEMBERS

We welcome a considerable number of new members this year and as I was unable to attend the New Members Night the Committee and I have invited them to enter and play in the ‘Yellow Peril’ competition on Thursday 9^th June. An entry sheet is now posted on the competition’s board in the locker room. Please make new members feel welcome and assist them in settling into membership of such a special golf club. Whatever our individual standard of play, we share an interest in golf, and should each try our best to further this sport. We hope that by holding this event we encourage lady members to meet and arrange to play golf together, never an easy thing to organise.

LADIES OPEN COLONEL WEIR ROSE bowl

This year’s competition is to take place on Thursday 11^th August, entries are now coming in but there are spaces available. Please can you promote our annual competition to your golfing friends and colleages  to come and enter .  We have a great facility of a superb golf course and a beautiful Clubhouse to be proud of. Entry forms are available to download from the Club’s website and a members entry sheet is posted on the notice board.

Finally a reminder:-

ONLINE COMPETITION ENTRIES

Entries for most competitions can now be done on line, via the Glen Golf Club web site at www.glengolfclub.co.uk. The process is very straightforward and instructions can be found on the web site in the Members section. All that is needed is your 4 digit ID number (membership number) and your PIN which can be obtained from Rita. You can also enter competitions using the computer in the Clubhouse, or by phoning the Committee member on duty to book you in. For the time being, both systems will be available for competition entry. Entries for fun competitions, Winter & Summer Foursomes and the Dickson Trophy will continue to be paper-based, with sheets pinned up on the notice boards as normal.

As the golfing season is upon us to all who golf this summer may I wish you a successful golfing season.
