LANGLANDS GOLF CLUB Langlands Golf Club Newsletter March 2015 A warm welcome to you all from our Captain - Davie Mortimer As Club Captain for 2015 I would like to welcome you to Langlands Golf Club. It is an honour for me to serve as your Captain this year. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and to play in all the excellent competitions the Match Committee have in store for us. If you are a visitor to the club today and have enjoyed your round and the friendly hospitality, then why not consider joining us—we have a fantastic Gents and Ladies Section where you will be made most welcome. We would also love to have more Junior members—their membership is free! NEWS FROM THE COURSE The course maintenance staff have been busy over the winter months, despite the challenging weather they have had to cope with at times. All greens have been cored and top-dressed back in November, with further verti-draining work being carried out on all the fairways. More extensive drainage has been installed on the 9th fairway, 13th green and in the area between the 7th green and 8th tee. These areas have always been troublesome so the new drainage should help see a big improvement. Some wooded areas on the course have also been pruned & cut back - most noticeable is the work carried out at the first tee area beside the car park which is certainly looking a lot tidier! Finally, every golfer can assist in making sure our course looks its best at ALL times—please ensure you rake all bunkers, replace divots and repair pitch marks on the greens. This especially important, and pitch mark repairers are available from the Starter’s Office free of charge. Correct repair of pitch marks is vital, the picture opposite shows you how to do this. Jackpot Joker The Jackpot Joker draw returns after his winter break on Saturday 4th April .The jackpot of £1000 is still to be won, so make sure you get your tickets every week. It’s still only £1 to play! Our Aim : To make all guests feel welcome every time they visit our Club Welcome from the Ladies Captain Mrs Margaret Stewart Hello everyone!
