Look at the cost of getting new shirts, club maybe to help out with the cost of them, Marc to get some costings
Votes over the nearest pins & longest drives, in the end after a lot of debate it stayed the same
Last is a note on slow play
We need to keep an eye on slow play as this is something all clubs are keen on. If we feel we are not keeping up with the game in front or holding up the game behind it is up to all the group to speed up. Please encourage the group to speed up.
Thanks,
