Hello golfers,

Somehow we are already in September as 2017 continues to whizz by. Many of the knockout competitions are now beginning to draw to a close, with the Semi-finals of both the Dainty Cup and the Annual Singles due to take place soon. In the team events I am pleased to announce that Cuddington have made it to the Semi-finals of the Warren League where they face next door neighbours Banstead Downs, while the Vets Team in the John Ling Salver have a Quarter-final tie against The Drift in the coming weeks. Meanwhile the Junior Under 18 Rookie Team have reached the Final of this year’s Rookie League, they take on Wentworth in the Final this Sunday at Pyrford Golf Club. Good luck to all those playing in their prospective matches.

As we continue our preparations for next year’s Cuddington diary, we would ask all members to ensure we have your correct contact details on file. If either your telephone number or email address have changed in the last year then please update it on the sheets provided by the main club noticeboard. The update sheets will be available until Monday, 18 September. We hope to have the 2018 club diary with us and ready to collect around late November/early December.

Please be aware that we have a large society at the club next Thursday, 14 September which will be utilising a shotgun start. As a result the course will be closed between 9:00am and 2:00pm when both tees will re-open.

Kind Regards,
Paul Schunter,
Director of Golf and Operations.

Golfing Events

As we head towards the end of the golfing season there is still plenty to play for in the coming weeks. On Saturday, 23 September the annual Celts vs. English match takes place. With bragging rights to play for, this is always a hotly contested affair. Following the match in the afternoon there will be a free drink on arrival, a two course dinner followed by a comedy impressionist. The cost for the day is £36 per person with entry fees being deducted from swipe cards following the publication of the start sheet.

A few weeks later we have the Warren League End of Season Golf Day which is followed by a dinner and dance. The golf is open to anyone with a handicap between 10 and 27, with a trophy up for grabs to those who have represented the club in the Warren League this year. The dinner and dance kicks off from 7:00pm and includes a three course meal and live music from “Inflation” – tickets cost £38 per person.

To sign-up for either event please use the sheets provided on the main club noticeboard.

• Sunday, 4 February 2018 – Theatre trip to The Play That Goes Wrong. Following a triumphal six-month international tour and a best new comedy win at the What’s On Stage Awards 2014, The Play That Goes Wrong is now enjoying an extended run at the West End’s Duchess Theatre. The Play That Goes Wrong is a side-splitting farce about an amateur drama society’s attempts to stage a 1920’s murder mystery play. The group of hapless thespians and backstage crew battle fudged lines, crumbling sets and disappearing props as they claw their way desperately to the final curtain call. The cost per person including a return coach (Departing the clubhouse at 12:30pm), two course evening supper and matinee theatre ticket is £55 per person. We are asking members to express their interest by signing-up on the main noticeboard or emailing the office.
