Cheap Greenfees
Once known as an elitist game and only played by the rich, the game of golf has become more available to the working class. In recent years the price of Green Fees has dropped throughout every club with the occasional exception to the premier clubs such as Royal Birkdale and the like. That can somewhat be frustrating for the full paying member, as he/she stays loyal to their club paying the full expected fees, yet a visitor can come along and receive discounted daily rates. The good news for all you full paying members is the Cheshire Card scheme. If you are a full paying member of Stamford Golf Club you are entitled to a Cheshire Card FREE of charge. More information can be found by following this link:

The Cheshire card offers further discounts on Greenfees at most clubs in Cheshire. This gives you even cheaper rates, as you are a full member of an affiliated golf club in the Cheshire county. Until this year, the Cheshire Card would come to you at a cost of around £40 per year. The idea of dropping the fee, is giving you something back for being a member of a club but encouraging you to go and visit other courses in your county at a reduced rate.

Golf balls for coaching
Thank you to those who have made a speedy donation to my practice ball stock. I was extremely low which made teaching groups of juniors very difficult. I am now fully stocked although I may send this message out again when I’m running low.
Washed out Monthly medal
Once again for the second time in 3 weeks the adverse weather conditions prevented us from completing the Saturday competition. An electrical storm initially caused a delay although the rain carried on and the competition had to be cancelled. The rearranged date for the June Monthly medal is 26th July 2014.
