As we enter July it’s just a couple of months before the next Shanks outing – Tuesday 5th Sept’23.
We are returning to Mid Herts which we played last September, and it was decided by the few who rolled up that we would come back this year, as we enjoyed both the course and the excellent meal of Gammon steak, egg and chips in the hope that we would get more attending.
So, the gauntlet has been thrown down and all you have to do is let me know you are joining us on 5th September.
As usual, meet at 12.00 noon, tee off from 1.00pm and early evening meal around 6.30pm followed by prize giving and away by 8.00pm ish. Cost £75 per head, please pay me by electronic transfer to my Barclays acc. ( If you don’t have details let me know and I’ll forward info. ).
Buggies available, let me know if you require and will try to double you up with a like-minded buggy mate. Payable direct to pro shop on the day.
The main trophy up for grabs is The Steele Bowl for handicappers of 24 and above, currently held by Nigel Howl. For the overall winner a bottle of fizz. Plus, yellow ball team competition will be back; the Steve Beckett Trophy for Shanker of the day; the Mike Windett Divot Trophy for the player visiting the highest number of bunkers in the round of golf.
Please do you best to join us so you can experience this great course, and as always visitors will be most welcome.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Finally, JOB VACANCY. It’s 20 years since I was asked to arrange a Shanks golf day, with the expectation that it wouldn’t last long, and you have been lumbered with Kit Kat ever since. We need a younger buck to take Shanks on to a higher level. Is there a Shanker out there who can take on the challenge ?
