Alas, winter got it’s revenge over the weekend with most parkland courses in North-West having cancelled competitions and with Barnhill being no exception, despite the use of winter mats, it was the right and proper decision in order to “save” the greens. 
The eagerly awaited Captains’ Drive-In, Mr. Tom Mc Donagh and Lady Captain Catherine Cooke Harkin, will take place on this Sunday 9th February [weather permitting] with the format being a 3 ball scramble.
Registration will take place from 10.30am in the clubhouse [with complimentary tea, coffee, scones], draw for partners at 11.30am followed by a shotgun start.
A large entry is expected to help the captains’ welcome in the 2014 golfing season.
It would be appreciated by the club pro. [entries] and the competition committee that any player who has booked a tee-time and is then unable to play, would delete his/her name from the online booking page or indeed, ‘phone the pro shop and withdraw their name.
This would leave time available for other golfers to book their place. 
Also, players who are NOT booked on the timesheet should not play on course unless first checking availability in pro shop.
Dates for the Diary: Following the extremely successful music nights during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the club hope to introduce a more frequent social night including music, dancing, sing-a-long etc.
These nights will be open and free of charge to general public and members alike, so please spread the word and bring along a few of your friends to your club’s social.
The newly refurbished Brown’s on the Green restaurant based in the clubhouse has received multiple plaudits for both it’s food and ambience.
A must visit for you and your friends on a night out, especially this Valentine’s night on 14th! Bookings can be made to Noreen at 087-2999-311 or 07491 21150.
