Captains Welcome 2024
Dear Members,
Welcome to another exciting year at Wearside Golf Club! What a great year 2023 was for the club. Firstly, well done to the Gents, Ladies, Seniors, and Junior teams who had exceptional seasons, and also congratulations once again to our club champion, Howard Walton, who played exceptionally well over the course of the club championship weekend and I'm sure everyone will agree he is a worthy winner.
Thank you to Elliot for selecting me as his vice-captain, and I’m hoping I’m able to follow on with the great work that he has achieved over the past year.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome any new members we also have this year. If you have a handicap to play for, please reach out to any of the existing members if you need to get a round or two in. Wearside is a great club to be part of, and you will soon realize all our members are more than willing to join up with you. The Facebook page is a great way to make initial contact.
As we continue to grow the club, please keep your suggestions coming in whether it is golf competition ideas, social night or any other thoughts you may have that could benefit the members. This is your club, and we’d like as much feedback as possible to help us continue to grow.
If you haven’t dusted the clubs off this winter yet, get yourself down to the club soon. Thanks to Danny and his team, the course is in great shape this winter following what can only be described as monsoon conditions at the end of October / November and will look fantastic by the time the season proper begins.
I’m excited to be assisted by Alan Rutter who has accepted the role as my Vice-Captain of the club for 2024, moving to Captain from 2025. Alan has been a member of Wearside Golf Club for several years now, and I’m sure you’ll all agree he is worthy of the post. Could you please join me in congratulating Alan as well as Valerie, Evan (Junior Captain) and John (Seniors Captain) as we move into the new season?
Finally, please bear with me as I develop and grow into the captain's role. If I can’t answer any of your golf club relevant queries or problems, I will endeavor to find out the answer and get back to you.
Play well everyone, but most of all, enjoy your golf!
