For all club competitions, (Singles, 4BBB and Geensomes) dates have been pre arranged by the Competitions committee at least one month in advance.

These dates, with tee off times, are the last date when the game must be played by.

If for any reason you would like to rearrange the game before that date, you must get agreement with your opponents and then rearrange the game including booking your tee off time.

You must also notify the club so we can cancel the arranged tee…

Happy New Year everyone!

I have some results... Tony has just found my ball from the Captains Drive-In... I can now announce that Mandy was just 7 yards away from the 150 marker (good shot Mandy). This meant James Tighe won the bet for Mandys ball, but my ball mysteriously ended up near the fence miles away? (don't know how that happened) anyway, it meant that Lynwen Bailey won the bet on my ball. 

And now some results of the more serious golf comps...

Sorry, this is a bit late but I have been down with a flu virus all week.

Oakwood Trophy entry fee is £4.

This is because Magic 2's count and your card will be a Handicap Qualifying round.

All games should be played off the Yellow Tees (Ladies off the Reds). The reason is that all rounds played during the fortnight will all be marked off the same card (yellows).

Players who paid £3 will not be disqualified and due our late notification will not have to pay the…

Just to remind you that your annual membership renewals will be due by 31st December. The good news is that we have kept the fee at just £40.

Payments can be made by cheque to "Trent Park Golf Club members" or cash. Please enclose your payment in an envelope with your name and any change of address and contact details clearly marked and drop this into the competition box in the green fee hut.

Wishing you all a great Christmas, Dave B

Following the clubs AGM and the election of the Officers, I am delighted to say this year we have an excellent committee of many talents, experiences and new ideas.
