Richard Nicols played in his 68th Captain’s prize today alongside Brendan O’Dea and Richard’s son Mick. Richard won the prize in 1955 which he described in a typically self-effacing fashion as ” just a 9 hole competition at the time “.
Following the recent government announcement, and communication from the golf’s governing bodies, please note the following additional protocols.
Face Coverings
The wearing of face coverings is now mandatory when entering the clubhouse and the Proshop. Face coverings can be removed when seated in the bar and restaurant areas but must be worn when moving around. Face coverings must be worn at all times in the Proshop including when checking in for golf.
Attendance at Interclub Matches
Attendance at interclub matches at both home and away venues is limited to the Team Manager or nominee, Club Captain or nominee, team substitutes, and one parent/guardian of a player aged 17 or under.
Thank you for adhering to these regulations. Stay safe and enjoy your golf.
