Bar and Catering

To ensure that we operate our bar and catering services in a safe, appropriate and legal way we have worked very closely with our caterer Dave to ensure that some form of service may be provided to the members of Gathurst Golf Club, and bona fide visitors and guests.

In order to purchase alcohol from the bar, any member or guest must first order a meal from the daily menu board. This daily menu will be available up to 17:00 hours only, after 17:00 catering will be limited to the dining menu for that particular evening. The evening dinner options must be booked in advance directly with Dave or Mikey in person or 01257 255235 (Option number 3)

I am sure you will join with me in thanking Dave for working so positively and in collaboration with the club to enable this service to be provided.

The clubhouse furniture has been repositioned to ensure that the government guidelines are followed and furniture must remain as it is set out.

The opening hours for the bar and catering function will be: –

 Please help us to help you to enjoy your visit and experience with Gathurst Golf Club by following all the guidelines and by being considerate to not only fellow members and guests but also to the staff who are working hard to serve you.

Many thanks in anticipation of your continued support and consideration.

Please see the Menu Board for Daily Options.

All opening times and service levels will be under constant review.

The results of the Men’s Senior Open, held on Tuesday 7th July, were as follows:

Hello Everyone,

Little did I think that the first 6 months of my year as Captain would be such a unique experience!

It’s been great to get back to playing golf and to be able to get the first Major of the year under our belts.

I’d like to thank the Scratch Cup / Keith Memorial Trophy prize donors. On Saturday this was Tom King and Frank Fanning – sorry Frank I forgot to get a photo of you – unless you were social distancing off screen; on Sunday Brian Coupe and Stephen Haigh provided the prizes.

Congratulations to the winners, Andy Halladay is the Scratch Cup winner with 71+73 = 144 Gross, and Paul Willis won the Keith Haigh Memorial Trophy with 73+66 = 139 Nett. Considering the difficult conditions, these were fantastic scores.

It was great to see the clubhouse reopen, a massive thank you to Keith and his staff, David & Mickey for the catering, the greens staff, Pro shop, all the directors, and helpers. A special thanks you, the members, for sticking to the rules during these difficult times and making the opening of the club house a great success.

Club systems V1 have now opened an on line score entry system for all singles competitions. In the near future they will have the same option for team events.
To enter your score you need to open HOWDIDIDO on either your mobile phone or using web browser. Only your score can be entered by this method.
Below is a guide to using this score entry system.
Cards will still need to be placed in the competitions box for ratification.
By using this system it will greatly reduce the amount of work needed to manually enter scores for everyone. We will continue to use this system even when the clubhouse has been opened. This will reduce the number of people using the touch screen.

The HowDidIDo APP can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Bunkers

All bunkers will be in play for competition golf.

The ball may be lifted and placed within one club length in the bunker and no nearer the hole.

Having played your ball, the sand should be smoothed using a club.

Slits on Fairways

Ball resting on any of the open slits on the fairways may be lifted and dropped no nearer the hole and within one club length without penalty.
