Dunston Hall Golf Club - Seniors

Hi Gentlemen, this has got to be the most miserable Blog I have had to produce this year! No golf on Tuesday.

Officially the Funny Hats Comp for Thursday has been postponed.

The Adcock Shield draw is being made tomorrow.

However, if the weather for Tuesday the 19th December, makes the course unplayable, the Committee have decided that the Xmas Lunch and Presentation will continue. This gives us the chance to have a great get together before our family Xmas Festivities.

Be prepared for a Raffle and vote for the new Captain’s Charity, so bring plenty of cash. And for those who need a new Seniors Tie I have plenty in stock.

If there is no play, assemble in Bunkers at 12.30 for a 1.00pm sit down meal as per programme. Presentation of 2017/8 Medals and Trophies will follow. Which will be followed by the Captain’s Xmas Story... Oh No!

So sorry it’s not a more positive blog chaps (as the rain thrashes down on my roof), but I did get some nice pictures on Tuesday when I was at the Club. Hope you all have a great weekend, and the course has some time to dry out.

The Adcock Shield draw will be circulated this weekend, so fingers crossed the weather improves.

Keep golfing, Captain Richard.

You’ve made it abundantly clear…

Each month we run a new poll on our website to get you thinking about your golf game and the hottest topics in golf.

Given the time of year, our latest poll asked you to consider your main golfing goal for 2018 from a choice of four answers. We thought the responses would be fairly similar and for three of the answers it was, but ‘lowering your handicap’ was the standout goal with 69% of you choosing this as your biggest aim for 2018.

If you were one of the aforementioned voters, winter is the best time to work on your game - whether that's lessons, a custom fitting or a gapping session - so that you have plenty of time to groove in any changes before the season gets underway next spring. Read our article below to learn more.
