Good morning, golfers!
Pro/Member Challenge Matches
For those of you still wondering what the format is: team of four including one pro £30 entry, best one stableford score per hole on the front nine, two scores per hole on the back nine. Prizes will be allocated at the end of the season to the team with the most points.
This is great fun and we thought it would be a good idea for us to get out there more often and see how good the general standard of golf is at MGC and hopefully learn something!
Sign up your team now and let's book the game in!
