Electric Trolley S.O.S

With the Ladies British Amateur Championship starting next week, I need approximately 10 extra electric trolleys for the competitors to use. If any members would be willing to lend me their electric trolley, battery and charger for the five days it would be greatly appreciated. I will take good care of them and treat them as my own. If you are willing to give your electric trolley to lend out please get in touch with the pro shop or click here to send me an email. Thank you in advance.

 

Ladies British Amateur Championship

Next week we host the Ladies British Amateur Championship. The golf course will be closed for play for the duration of the event (from Monday, 29 August - Friday, 2 September). We hope to open the first tee at 6pm on the Friday as long as a play-off is not needed in the event. A reminder that arrangements have been made for members to play at Shandon Park Golf Club at a cost of £10 a round.

Call the pro shop and inform them you're a member of Knock.

 

Junior President's Day

Last Thursday the juniors played in Kenny Graham's Junior Presidents' Day. The weather was brilliant and the prizes went down very well with the competitors. The President's Prize went to the red hot, new one handicapper, Ross Latimer with 37 points. Thomas Kane grabbed second place on the better back nine from Charlie Parke, both had 36 points. A big thank you goes to the President Kenny for his efforts on the day, I know the juniors all enjoyed it.
