Dear Members,
With the arrival of the warm weather, it finally feels like summer has arrived. I’d like to update you on recent developments and initiatives at Vicars Cross Golf Club.
Course Conditions:
The course is in excellent shape this summer. Our course manager is recovering well from Achilles surgery and were wishing him well in his recovery. Despite his
absence, the team under Russell’s supervision, have done a remarkable job. I want to thank them for their hard work and dedication in maintaining our great course, one we can all be proud of. The feedback from both visitors and guests have been excellent all year, despite the challenges following from one of the longest winters on record.
Staff Changes:
Dan Davis and Charles Broad have left the club, which has left us short-staffed in the kitchen. However, we have recruited an outstanding replacement in Jamie Else, whose enthusiasm has already made a greatly positive impact. We will soon advertise for an additional chef to support Jamie in the kitchen and we all wish her well in her new role.
Social Activities: *
Our Men’s and Ladies’ Captains, along with our front-of-house team continue to organize engaging social activities. Their efforts have garnered significant support, and I can’t thank them enough for their fantastic enthusiasm. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for our upcoming events including the race night on July 6!
For more information, please contact Martin or Nicky behind the bar.
Swing Room: *
Our newly constructed swing room is now open for bookings via the foremost website run by our professional shop. Feel free to reach out to myself or Martin OConnor for more details or to book a session (£15 per hour) for the hire of the room.
Ladies Toilets and Showers: *
We’ve commenced the refurbishment of the ladies’ showers and toilets to enhance our facilities for our growing lady members. While there may be minor disruptions during this period, we appreciate your understanding as we strive to improve our amenities.
New Member Inductions:
Our induction sessions for new members conducted by both the captains and me, have been a resounding success. These sessions aim to introduce new members to our club’s culture and operations while facilitating connections with fellow members.
Marketing and Advertising: *
We have welcomed Ellen to our office team with a focus on marketing and advertising. Ellen will be promoting the Tee Sponsorship, developing our new website and promoting the club’s social events. Her efforts will help generate a new revenue stream for the club. Members with any ideas or those interested in advertising or promoting their businesses through our club should contact Ellen in the office.
If you have any questions or issues about the club, the course, or your membership, please email me at enquiries@vicarscrossgolf.co.uk or visit the office.
Happy Golfing!
Philip Beard
General Manager**
