Dear Friends,
It feels as if we are trapped in a movie, a bad movie. The past few weeks have proved to be the most testing of our lifetimes and for now the world has to stop. Its temporary and we have all got to realise this but our actions will determine how long temporary will last. This is why I have made the hard decision to close the pro shop from tomorrow. The golf course is still very much playable for you all but please adhere to the social distancing guidelines laid out by the government. This will not only protect you, your family and friends but ultimately everyone. TheManagement Committee have also decided to completely shut the clubhouse and this has been such a difficult decision to make but it is for the best.
As I stated above, this situation is temporary and you will have a full facility to benefit from in the future. We all need to dig in and support each other. We have worked so hard to create a wonderful golf club and course over the years. Every single one of you have had a hand in making this such a wonderful place and we all need to continue to help the club in these difficult days ahead. The club has survived a horrific fire in 2010 and a phoenix rose from the flames. This is a different situation but one that will survive and come out the other end.
Although the shop will be closed, we can still supply you with all of your golfing needs. These will be challenging days for myself and my staff and all I can ask is that you don't pass us by when it comes to golf.
We are all going to miss the day to day banter at the club and who knows you may even miss my terrible jokes, but have no fear! Over the next week I will introduce you to a worlds first 'The Virtual Clubhouse' where you can keep up to date about what is happening on course, in Bell's Bunker and from other members of the golf club. During this time I will also be creating lots of instructional content ' Garden Golf' on my Youtube Channel. Stuart and Karyn will also be creating content too for your enjoyment. We appreciate everything that you do for us and we will be working hard to keep you enjoying your golf.
Stay safe and stay tuned for a very new way of golf!
Best Wishes
Graeme,Stuart,Karyn and Ian
