With Trevor sunning himself in Tenerife, it's left to Mrs D as "guest editor" this week. Not a job I'm comfortable with but it gives me time away from nagging Ryan and making brews for the many tradesmen that have been in and out of the swing lounge this week.
I managed a quick few holes with son number one yesterday, the first time out since Sunday, 4 October. It's hard to motivate yourself to get back into it after three months off but for those who haven't played for a while, get the clubs cleaned, get wrapped up and get yourselves out. It was a very enjoyable couple of hours in the fresh air.

The weather started to brighten up middle of last week and temperatures dropped so we were hopeful for a normal Sunday of Winter League, then the snow arrived on Saturday. Again we had to close the course and the competition was off. That's a total of six winter leagues that have had to be called off this winter - fingers crossed for this weekend. Wherever possible Dave and his team will always have the course open.

Project Clubfit
Ryan and his new best friends "gorilla glue" and "staple gun" have been hard at it this week together with the many tradesmen. The flooring has been installed thanks to Eric Hollings, heating and lighting thanks to Ray Adams and most importantly the bar area thanks to Josh Corless. The fridge is also in ready to keep your beers chilled, I'm currently testing it with a nice bottle of rose wine.
Dave and his team have been hard at it again this week on the short game area. An area of trees has been cleared ready for the 100 yard pitch shots, and the 75, 50 and 30 yard pitch markings have been prepared. The bankings of the new pitching green have been created ready to be turfed and finally this week the new chipping green has been turfed.
HGC legacy
The HGC brick idea has proven popular with members past and present, for only £59 you can have your name in gold letters at Heysham Golf Club forever - the only chance some of you will have of having your name in gold letters (sorry couldn't resist ). Forms are available in the pro shop, behind the bar and also in the office. The last date for orders is Sunday, 14 February - perfect if you're stuck for a Valentine's Day present idea.
