Well we are fully into the new season, and things are going well. Chloe, our new caterer, is getting established and the feedback is positive. She has some good ideas, and is looking to enhance the service that she provides.

This Sunday catering will be limited as Chloe has a prior engagement. Cold filled rolls will be available.

Match Play draws are off and running, and good luck to those next week playing on club championship matches. I will be there on Monday and Wednesday evening, but unfortuantely not for the final rounds.

The "experiment" of Sunday four-balls will cease with immediately effect, and four-balls will not be allowed prior to 11.00am. After that, and in all other medals, it will be at the discretion of those playing.

Our first Gents' Open of the Season was a success and congratulations to those who were winners.

Finally, if you do have any worries, suggestions, concerns or niggles, please either contact the club or use the email DABMatchSecretart@yahoo.co.uk. A recent "niggle" exploded into a problem, and could have been dealt with if people spoke up. It is your club, and you have to tell me what you want, not the other way around.

I hope you continue to play well and have a successful and enjoyable season.

Douglas Ogilvie

Captain.
