Scores can be viewed on-line, competition results can be analyse hole-by-hole, and handicap certificates can be downloaded from their website – www.masterscoreboard.co.uk; there is a permanent link from the competitions page on the Club’s web site. You will need to register with the site, and will need a password; send an email to secretary@yelvertongolf.co.uk marked ‘Register’ and the password will be sent to you. Full instructions are on the web site.

The Club has also joined the EGU/EWGA Central Database of Handicaps. With this system all results at registered clubs will be sent to a central server, and handicaps will be updated centrally; clubs will then be informed of any away scores. Clubs will also be able to check visitors’ handicaps on-line for open competitions.

Each member has been allocated a UID (unique identification number) (10 figures) which will identify them throughout the country. To receive their number members should send an email, with the title ‘CDH’, to – secretary@yelvertongolf.co.uk and the UID number will be sent to them. Members can then register on http://www.englishgolfunion.org/golfcentral/; by selecting Golfer Profile, they can then view their exact handicap. Over the next few weeks a card system will be introduced. More details to follow.

The AGM will be held on Wednesday 17th March; the deadline for nominations for committee members is Wednesday 17th February; the deadline for proposals is Wednesday 24th February.

The policies agreed at the 2009 AGM have proved successful; the dropping of the Entry Fee, and the membership referral scheme have seen membership numbers increase to a healthy level. We hope that all our new members are enjoying the facilities that we offer. The rateable value of the Club has increased for 2010 by 45%, so the lack of support for the committee’s recommendation to become exempt for UBR has been costly.

The golfing season will start with the Captain’s Drive-In on Saturday 20th March, and the Men’s Spring Opens are on 24th and 28th April, with the Ladies’ Silver and Bronze Open on 15th April, the Mixed Open on 2nd May, and the first Captain’s Evening is on Thursday 22nd April.

I have tendered my resignation from the Club; after ten years in the job I am looking forward to retirement. I thank everyone for their support and suggestions over the years, and wish the club well for the future.

Stewart Barnes
Manager/Secretary
