Pros news

It's great to back at Ladybank after the October holidays. The weather continues to be unseasonably good and there are still lots of golfers around enjoying the course. 

Tim Poyser, whom many of you have grown fond of over the summer months has returned to Florida for the winter. Tim does this every year as he strives to make his way into the coaching game in America. 

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Tim for all his help over the summer. I'm certain many of you will also miss him. Thanks again Tim. 

Competition news

After this Saturday we will have next Saturday and the November and December medals as counting medals (weather provided). In between times we aim to put on Pro Shop sweeps. 

Also, a wee reminder that you must put your card number from the sheet in the Pro Shop on your card every week.
