FOX MEETS TIGERS!
This is the 8th year of Junior Scholarship Awards.  At our ceremony on Sunday 27th April, Dr Liam Fox MP presented Jamie Peacock with a full Junior Membership and Joe Painter, Daniel Bunton and Ruby Harvey with Standard Memberships.  We hope to see them gain handicaps and play in competitions very soon.

GOLFMARK & CLUBMARK
Tickenham Golf Club has achieved Golfmark and Clubmark accreditation.  We are only the 3rd Golf Club in Somerset to achieve this.  Clubmark is a cross-sport quality accreditation for clubs with junior sections.  National governing bodies of sport (NGBs) and county sport partnerships (CSPs) award Clubmark to proven high quality clubs.

FANTASTIC SUCCESS Junior Open Day
We had 90-100 juniors attend on Monday 7th April between 3-5pm.  There was a queue along the driveway to the road to get in!  We gave them all free balls and clubs to use on the range.  We ran a Long Driving and Pitching competition and 50 of them entered.  Prizes were given in age groups u6, u8, u10 etc.  We gave free tea and coffee to Mums and Dads.  Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing you again.

Shop and Second Hand

You will be able to advertise your second hand equipment on the Second Hand page. Ditto the Holiday Page.

Restriction Lifted
Juniors paying the greatly reduced fee will no longer be charged half a green fee to play on Sunday mornings. This now represents even greater value and shows yet again how we support and encourage junior golf at Tickenham.

Free - New Rule Book
Please ask us for your free new rule book.
The most important change from 1 Jan 08 concerns hundreds of Drivers which are banned from use because the ‘spring effect’ of the face exceeds the limits of the new rule. This applies to all golfers of all ability and in all forms of competition play.
There are lists of conforming and non conforming clubs at www.randa.org or you may view ours in reception! Please check your driver is legal. If you bought a Ping driver from us, you have nothing to worry about.
The R & A have also clarified some rules and reduced the applicable penalties in certain circumstances.
