News in Brief

Summer has arrived?
Not quite, but the course is in good nick and further elevated tees offer even more opportunities to admire both the course and the unspoilt Bedfordshire countryside from a new perspective. New acquisition of turf care machinery and a lot of hard work have made the presentation of the course better than ever and you can be assured that it will continue to improve month upon month throughout the season.

Golf Breaks
Our golf break packages are proving to be a real winner. Great value with outstanding self-catering accommodation are being used for golf breaks, short lets between home moves and for people visiting family or friends.
Due to this popularity we aim to apply for planning permission for a further 6 cottages to nestle in the picturesque setting of the lake of the 12th green.

Membership
Great value as always and with no joining fee at present. Five day OAP's can enjoy golf for as little as £2 a round if you play 3 times a week, as many of them do. Our thriving senior section is rapidly expanding and holds regular in-house and inter-club events. Seven day membership is popular with those of us that still need to earn a “buck” and enjoy the unique atmosphere that earmarks Colmworth GC as “proudly different”. A new influx of lady members has added a new dimension to golf at Colmworth, as we advocate a policy of ladies being included in many mixed club competitions.

Ladies Open Competition
Wed 24th September
In its 10th year this annual event is open to all lady golfers with official handicaps. Entry enquiries to Mrs Vivien Hepworth, Retreat, Lt Staughton, Beds. Tel 01234 376719

Society Specials
Any society playing with us this summer has the opportunity to re-book a winter society day Oct 08 – March 09 at a greatly reduced green fee, (only £10 midweek & £16 weekends p/p). Not only that, if bad weather intervenes and you have to cancel your winter day, then you can re-book for a later day at no extra charge as long as the rearranged date is prior to April 09

Lunches
Why not enjoy one of our bar meals or home cooked Sunday lunches with fresh local vegetables and pudding for only £10, served between 1pm – 2.30pm? Pre-booking for Sundays essential.

Green Energy
The installation of a CHP (combined heat & power) generator has now commenced. This will provide us with all the electricity and heating we require from a re-newable energy source, (wood chip). This will prove invaluable to us once we build the 25m swimming pool that we have been aiming towards for so long. As well as heating and powering our clubhouse, cottages and swimming pool, surplus electricity will be exported to the national grid and on a small scale will be reducing carbon emissions and the use of ever dwindling natural resources. At the same time precious space shall be saved by using material that otherwise would be disposed of in landfill.

Course Fishing
