Many thanks for the kind posting Shoe - Everyone at UKGE appreciates the slot given to us and as some of the guys say, we have a great CC going on with a very busy schedule.
I am very blessed to have a group of guys helping me out in the CC. We / They are all affectionately known as the Fixers and with their help we are able to offer an awful lot to active players who want to test themselves and / or develop from the lower tiers via a Buddy scheme we try to promote.
My own role is trying to set the strategy and co-ordinate the Tournament schedule which is wide and varied, with weekly free events, weekly credit events that are all interlinked to a Season long Order of Merit and Ranking system which runs June to June.
We have 6 MAJOR strokeplay events played over 72 holes throughout the year, One on One strokeplay events and Pairs events where we pit lower tiered players with Super Legends for development and experience purposes, Matchplay events and towards the end of the Season we have a Ryder Cup and Walker Cup match between England and the Rest of the World played out in the same format as the real thing.
That all aside, our CC is more about the people and having lots of fun. There are no egos at all but lots of great people and hopefully we will continue to grow. We are still relatively small, but for most events we are seeing activity level close to 75% of the membership. In fact in our 6 week Summer League, we have had 83 of the 88 members take part over the course of the 12 rounds.
We have, as the guys have said a very active social scene with the Friday Night Beer Club and also lots of the guys hooking up for real games of golf. There is some fierce banter usually associated with football rivalries and people's addictions to FAST greens.
So, if anyone likes the sound of what we have on offer, please make contact with our top Recruitment officer Steve Sheehan (stevepsheehan) and he will get things moving
Thanks again Shoe for the mention
