Reflections from a "First Year" 9 Hole player
9 Hole golf, with much shock and many doubts, was introduced in the mid-nineties, how well it has integrated into the scene at golf clubs.
She Loves Golf has introduced younger non golfers to the game, some then moving from 9 to 18.
With shorter time frame, busy people are able to participate, enjoy the social aspect and be as competitive as desired.
For golfers who have played the longer game (some for over 50 years) 9 holes gives the chance to continue with the game we all love.
On a personal front I have enjoyed my first season with the 9 holers. It is interesting to find 9 holes just as challenging as 18, you just have less holes to iron out the mistakes.
At whatever level it is played be it 18 or 9 holes, golf remains the winner
Enjoy

You will recall that in June 2019 President Peter announced in his Newsletter that if any member of our club purchased a vehicle from Bowater Hyundai/Isuzu, either new or used, the club will benefit by $250.
It's all ticking along very nicely. Thank you to Bowaters, and thank you too to our members who have all purchased vehicles.
