Saturday 1st April 2006: The New Season has arrived and we now have 2
draw sheets available
Karyn Burns our County Professional had
given us a Winter Tip
to keep us on our toes throughout the cold winter. Spring has
finally arrived and Karyn has given us all another tip which
should be relevant for all of us on the day you are going to have a
game of golf. Click on the banner above to
reveal all
New to the website is a video page where perhaps thro'out
the
season small clips can be added to the page. Karyn also is hoping in
her next monthly tip to pass on a small video that can be placed on
the web. Unfortunately if you are still on dial up and not yet on
the broadband you will be unable to view these small videos. If you
click on the video camera you will see a couple there already.
Also new to this season is the
HOT NEWS page where articles that have not yet made it to the
club news or junior news can be put. If you would like to contribute
to then email me at
Hot News
Blogger and you can have a go.
New to the
season will be that you will now sign in to the new county
laptop with a PIN number as well as entering your score.
Don't worry about it there will be help at hand.
The results will be published to
Howdidido and your score and all the relevant SSS,CSS and 19.8
score will all be sent to your club on publishing the results.
Please check with your handicap secretary that she receives them. If
there is a problem I will sort it out before the next medal.
In the meantime ,
HERE'S TO A HAPPY SEASON AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL
