Men's news

Forthcoming Events

It is increasingly evident that the Monthly Weekend Stableford scheduled for the coming weekend will not go ahead. Doubt grows also in respect to the Midweek Stableford scheduled for Wednesday, 17 February and the Chicken Peck, scheduled for Sunday, 21 February. If things change before any of these dates we will let you know. All knock-out competitions remain on hold until further notice.

Team News

Questions posed about the viability of club matches in the short-term and of the programme/leagues in the longer term remain valid. We will continue to monitor the situation and amend the programme accordingly.

We will be in touch with the opposing clubs in the near future to gauge their thoughts. If in the short-term, club matches remain unplayable and any leagues impractical, we will look at the possibility of playing those matches scheduled later in the year on a more informal footing.

Other matters

The AGM went ahead as scheduled yesterday via a conference call amongst the Committee. We went through the agenda as appears on the members’ website.

We did consider the option of convening an EGM early into the new playing year. You will hear more in the coming weeks and months.

The vote for Members’ Representatives was concluded yesterday and the result was as follows:

Those voted in as Members’ Representatives are Paul Field and Conrad Rodrigues. I welcome both to the Committee on behalf of the Committee itself and the members of the Men’s section.

Thank you to Darren Barnes and Russell Jacob for showing a commitment to the running of the club. This is recognised and much appreciated.

The Committee is then as follows for the coming year:

President: Mr Paddy Dowzer

Captain: Clive Parker

Vice-Captain: Iain McKay

Handicap Secretary: Jon Ford

Treasurer: Grant Moyes

Minutes Secretary: Marc Vincent

Immediate past Captain: Malcolm Holmes

Members’ Representative: Paul Field

Members’ Representative: Conrad Rodrigues

Please refer to the AGM reports placed on the Members’ website.

We will be posting minutes of the AGM on the website in the coming days.

Handicap Review

A review will take place in the coming weeks. If you believe your handicap to be inaccurate following the launch of the World Handicapping System (WHS) and would like the review team to give your handicap special attention please email the Handicap Secretary on cottesmoremenshandicaps@gmail.com.

2021 Diary / Fixture List

This is complete and an electronic version was made available via our Facebook page on Monday, 18 January. If you do not make use of Facebook and would like a copy sent to you directly, please let me know on cottesmore.captain@gmail.com. Alternatively, the pro shop of hard copies.

Looking forward to seeing you all as COVID restrictions allow. In the meantime All, please stay safe.

Vets News

I’ve no golf news worthy of passing on to you this week, so I’m going to concentrate on the future and, in particular, inter-club matches.

These are due to begin next month when we have the following scheduled fixtures:

· East Brighton on Thursday, 11th March (away);

· Banstead on Monday, 15th March (away);

· Goodwood on Wednesday, 24th March (home).

The match against Goodwood will now not be going ahead, so Paul Cox is looking to find a replacement fixture.

Unless we hear to the contrary (following the Government’s next review of the current lockdown arrangements on Monday, 15 February and the Prime Minister’s ‘roadmap’ out of lockdown due for release on Monday, 22 February). I am assuming that the matches against East Brighton and Banstead will go ahead (although it would not surprise me if one or both of them had to be postponed).

To that end, if you would like to be considered for selection to play in either or both of the matches against East Brighton or Banstead, please sign up on the ‘Competitions’ page of the Cottesmore website (in the same way as you signed up for entering the Vets’ Tuesday competitions last year).

Also, I would like to retain a bank of players on whom I can call for future match selection. Therefore, if you wish to be considered for match selection this year, please let me know by e-mail to sixacres.e@gmail.com.

Additionally, those of you who usually play on the Phoenix course on Tuesdays should not be deterred from being considered for matches. However, you will be aware that our inter-club matches are played on a 4BBB basis, on 18 hole courses, so your fitness and concentration need to be up to these challenges, over c. 4½ hours.

Therefore, as long as you can show evidence from your scorecards of having played at least three 18 hole rounds of golf (ideally in one or more of the Vets’ Tuesday competitions on the Griffin) during the three weeks before the match date, you will be considered for selection.

Enjoy the rest of your week and the weekend,

Erik

CVGS Captain 2021

A new season treat

There’s nothing quite like arriving at the golf club with a brand-new golf bag that really looks the part. Well, we all hope to be playing lots of golf this spring/summer so we have just what you’re looking for.

Titleist’s updated StaDry bag range for 2021 includes both stand & trolley options, and even a hybrid of the two. You can choose from any of these sleek models and love the way they look, but of course, it’s not all about show.

These bags also happen to be completely waterproof, with an array of purpose-built pockets for everything from spare clothes to cold drinks. Despite all of this, the bags are lightweight, so they’re never a burden during your round.

Brand-new balls!

We change our club between most shots, but hopefully that’s not the case with your golf ball (if it is, maybe it’s time to see us for some lessons!). We all want to trust our golf ball to give us what we need from tee-to-green, maybe with a helping hand along the way.

Updated for 2021 - TaylorMade TP5

This is exactly what TaylorMade considered when designing their new TP5 & TP5x golf balls. Each year, more golfers make the switch to TaylorMade’s flagship balls, and this latest remodel solidifies the feeling that they are a must-try for all golfers.

COMING SOON - TaylorMade TP5x Golf Balls

Updated for 2021 - TaylorMade TP5x

What's different with the 2021 TP5 and TP5x? Well, put simply, it's all about improved aerodynamics so that your shots fly through the air better for maximum distance. So, why wouldn't you want to give these a try?

Video of the Week

We hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. We'll see you at the club over the coming days.
