Week Ending Saturday 22/11/2025

Dear Members,

Better late than never… again!
Thank you for your patience, everyone. It’s been another busy week around the club, and while this newsletter is running a little behind schedule, we didn’t want you to miss out on celebrating the great golf that’s been played. The course continues to settle beautifully after the recent rain, topdressing, and fertiliser, and it’s been fantastic to see so many members out enjoying the improving conditions.

Below are all the results from our most recent competitions. Well done to all players, and a big welcome to our new members—great to have you joining the MCC community!
