Refunds will be processed for those that had already entered. EG hope to run events from the end of July, but no certainty, all depends on this ghastly virus. We do h...

Message from your President Sadly all county fixtures have been cancelled until the end of June due to the Coronavirus, this includes all knockout competitions. I informed all delegates this week to communicate this with club members, we certainly are in unprecedented times and will keep you informed as and when. Meanwhile all keep safe and hopefully we can keep playing, albeit car park to course golf.
