The Event is Bendsomes. Rules are as set out in the attached PDF (click here). If you find them difficult to understand never fear, Rob Bride will explain them before we start.

Let's get as many PIGC members there as possible. If you intend to play please advise Mark Reid asap via text (0467 000 456) or email (sandybaypi@bigpond.com). Please also advise Mark if you are sharing a cart with anyone.

7th TEE

The new turf has been laid on the 7th tee, and it's looking absolutely fantastic! 

The tee has been laser levelled as well as extended and widened at the front. The aim of is this is to provide greater flexibility in the tee positions and allow areas to recover.  

 


VALE

The Club is saddened to learn of the passing of member Timothy Dwyer. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.
