Men’s new shower room now open
All work has now been completed on the men’s new shower room and it is open and available for use.
New practice area improving…
Following the early spring treatment and conditions, the grass density is improving on the new practice area between the 11th and 13th fairways. For the time being, play is still restricted to the mats. Those wishing to practice their short game should use the top two mats. The lower tee areas are to be used for long game practice. This is to promote safety so that only the odd shot strays onto the course and the remainder remain within the practice area.
County Card deadline extended
The HGU has extended the deadline to allow members who missed out earlier in the year to purchase a County Card. This Card enables holders to play at hundreds of golf couses across the Counties at a heavily discounted rate. Numerous Verulam members have already taken advantage of this highly attractive offer. The cost is just £15. Contact the Office for more details.
Look out for our marketing!
Many households in the St Albans and wider Hertfordshire area receive copies of ‘St Albans Life’ and ‘The Directory’. Verulam Golf Club will be featured in a number of issues in 2010. So, keep an eye out for our articles which are just part of our marketing campaign for the Club.
Two Verulam members become Herts Rules Officials
Look closely at this picture from the Herts Golf Union AGM in February and you will spot two familiar Verulam faces. Dr Alan Thomson and Steve Fownes came 1st and 2nd in the rules of golf exam they sat in December 2009 (we are not sure who was 1st and 2nd though!). Alan and Steve received their Badges and Certificates at the AGM and are now bona fide HGU Rules Officials to whom Club members, the Secretary and the Club Professional can turn for assistance in interpreting the Rules of Golf. As new County officials, they are eligible to referee in county events. So, very well done Alan and Steve. This link will take you to the full story on the HGU website:
