NEW YEAR GREETINGS TO ALL - ESPECIALLY OUR NEW MEMBERS

With today's weather, it is difficult to think about golf !!

However it would be great if you could mark in your diaries, the 3 dates for our Spring, Summer and Autumn Meetings.

SPRING MEETING East Kilbride Golf Club TUESDAY 4TH APRIL 2017

SUMMER MEETING Ralston Golf Club THURSDAY 11TH MAY 2017

AUTUMN MEETING Douglas Park Golf Club MONDAY 4TH SEPT. 2017

The more entries invariably mean these events are more enjoyable, and it is also important to support the catering at the clubs which kindly offer the use of their course.

In particular, we warmly welcome a large number of new members :- Donna Jackson, Mandy Allan, Joyce McGregor, Wendy Hollingworth, Angela Kettlewell, Morven English, Caroline McCreath, Sheila Steel, Margaret Nicolson, Ann Shanks, Elizabeth McLean, Linda Parry, Margaret Stewart, Sheila Shedden, Carole Hill, Jane Alexander, Fiona McWhirter, Margaret Gauldie, Catherine Skinner, Beth Paterson and Christine Milroy.

As many fixture cards as possible will be distributed at the Renfrewshire Beetle Drive at Ralston on Sunday 29th January, and thereafter may be picked up at your home club.

Wishing all members a successful and enjoyable season.

June Lockhart (West Vets Captain)

COURSE RATING - CAN YOU HELP ?

Scottish Golf is looking to recruit new course rating volunteers, and already have had a lot of folk signing up. Some volunteers are still required in a few areas where uptake has been slower (namely Angus, Ayrshire, The Borders and Lanarkshire). The aim is to ensure that lady course raters are being recruited as well as gents so that the best interests of women's golf are served in the course rating process.

If anyone is interested in volunteering for this interesting work, the first step would be to contact Adam Phillips, Golf Administrator at Scottish Golf (contact details - Tel: 0131 339 3987, e mail: a.phillips@scottishgolf.org)

The next step would be to attend an Introductory seminar during March or April - these will be held at various locations throughout Scotland as below.

Murrayshall Golf Club – Tuesday 21st March, 2017
Haggs Castle Golf Club – Thursday 23rd March, 2017
Peebles Golf Club – Tuesday 28th March, 2017
Ratho Park Golf Club – Thursday 30th March, 2017
Elgin Golf Club – Tuesday 4th April, 2017
Thank you for your help.

With all best wishes for 2017.

Alison Houston
SVLGA Secretary
