CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS AND TO ALL THE WOMEN MEMBERS WHO PLAYED THE 3 ROUNDS.
It certainly was touch and go with the weather - but how lucky were we? Apart from 2/3 holes last Thursday, we played in perfect golf conditions.
A HUGE thank you has to go to Matt Morris and his green staff - the course was in perfect condition - THANK YOU!
Also a big thank you to Tim and Darryl - both in the Pro Shop and the Clubhouse for all their help. The Champagne yesterday was very welcome - Thanks so much!
Thanks also to the Match Committee for their wisdom and help.
To encourage our "young" women members, we have the inaugural Women's Lifestyle Cup on Sunday 7th November. It would be lovely if you could play on that day, or just come in to the Clubhouse for the Presentation of The Men's Championship Finals, The Junior Championships and the Women's Life style Cup - a BIG day!!
WHITTAKER'S WINNERS
I am hoping that in the next few weeks I can poke around a few more local shops to provide you with a broader selection of Winners as we approach the festive season! In the meantime I can still rely on some old favourites.
- The Source Bulk Foods – For those of you who are not familiar with this wonderful shop, I suggest you get on to their website and explore the extensive range of produce or pop in and see for yourself. I bet you leave with at least a bag of nuts. My favourite are the Salted Caramel Protein Balls which are just what is needed at the 10th Tee! The choices are amazing and I think you’ll love the glace fruit especially the apricots, think Christmas ham! They are in Springett’s Arcade and their website is [email protected]
- HFM – I have recently discovered their Taste Fine Food Company curries that are really worth trying especially the vegetable one and the Rogan Josh. It can be such a godsend when you just don’t feel like cooking or going out. You can even do the microwave rice readily available in all the supermarkets. How lazy can we get!!
- Aldi – This is a serious winner that is a new product line in the icecream section. An absolute must after a curry! It’s an Ice Cream Log called Entertainer by Monarc. It comes in 2 flavours but I can’t get past the vanilla which is layered with superfine real chocolate. The icecream quality is divine and I bet you’ll stock up on them like I have done.
NB The frozen parsnips are now available at Aldi.
