Greetings golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition to Ringway GC weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course. Enjoy the read. 

A sad time for the club

It’s with great sadness that our wonderful President, Peter Collard passed away on Thursday after valiantly fighting cancer! He was such a terrific man, someone who I proudly called my President and he will be sadly missed. The funeral details are:

12.15pm Thursday, 7th December.
Requiem Mass at St Vincent’s RC Church, Altrincham. WA14 2BP.
2.00 Altrincham Crematorium (Family only). 
Funeral Reception at Ringway Golf Club from 1.30pm onwards.

My thoughts as well as yours I’m sure are with Mary and the family through this awful time.

I’m finding this next section hard to write as I don’t want to just dismiss Peter!

I'm off to Dubai...

Next week I will be in Dubai as coach and caddy to my student Gemma Clews who has been invited to play the Ladies European Tour Event. We fly on Saturday morning to prepare ready for the first round on Wednesday. It’s a fantastic opportunity for both myself and Gemma and the start of something big so fingers crossed for a great week competing against the likes of Charlie Hull and Suzanne Peterson. Look out for the two trees logo on Sky Sports! You can follow my week through twitter @jamessaltgolf.

The shop will be left in the very capable hands of Sam, Rick and Ian who will be able to deal with all your needs and they will be getting the Christmas decorations up, starting the Christmas Raffle and have personalised Christmas Vouchers for both the shop and lessons available.

It’s been wet to say the least!

Fortunately we have been able to run each competition all thanks to the tremendous work done by our green keepers. The 1st, 10th and 11th greens are struggling so they may be on temporary greens if you are brave enough to battle the cold but dry (fingers crossed) weather that is coming through.

Richie is hopeful that they will be out of the ground on the 5th this week or next which will mean that becomes a full hole again and we are working on a new running order for the 13 hole competitions to manage the areas of the course are struggling.

Turkey Competition - Greensome Stableford

• First place - John Kidd and Colin Offland.
• Second place - David Hardman and Stuart Hildage-Jnr.
• Third place - Roy Hulme and Rory McNally.
• Fourth place - Tom Davies and Dowdle.

Ladies 13 hole Winter Jubilee - Tuesday, 21st November

Still have some great offers on...

Black Friday is done but don’t worry we still have fantastic offers there for you with Galvin Green and Peak Performance still cheaper than the internet! We also have some fantastic Glenmuir men’s socks available in a gift box because who doesn’t love a pair of socks for Christmas!

Come try out our range bay...

Those who have been down to the range would have seen our temporary undercover bay which I have acquired from Golf Bays UK for free for a couple of months, and as long as Sam or I aren’t dashing under it, please feel free to stay dry and out of the wind during your practice sessions.
