Dear Member
It’s a busy Christmas at the club….
Martin¸ Sandy and the catering team have been working their Christmas socks off in the run up to Christmas.
Last Friday Simon Fubsy Davies was joined by 89 of his Carmarthenshire County Council work colleagues for their Christmas party for the second year running and they had such a good time they have booked again for next year. El Bandito and Consuela (Stewart Evans and wife Jan) were on hand to sell raffle tickets and raised another £120 for the Marchog to Morgado junior fund.
24 hours later the team were ready to roll again entertaining another party of guests and that was followed by their usual busy Sunday lunch customers.
What a fantastic effort by the whole team!!

Message from the Greenstaff…… All members are asked to take pride in the course and are respectfully requested to ensure that:
- Divots & pitchmarks are always repaired and during your next round observe how many are left unrepaired!
- Bunkers; please always ensure that bunkers are racked after use and that rakes are placed flat in the centre of the bunkers.
Your care and cooperation in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
