January 2021 – Lockdown Measures & Midweek Sweeps

Golfers will no doubt be aware that with effect from Tuesday 5th January, the country has been placed into further ‘lockdown’ measures. Fortunately the measures announced mean that golf can continue, PROVIDED all social distancing protocols etc. are strictly adhered to. This will mean that three and four ball games may be played only when all participants are from the same household. For the vast majority of us that means only two ball games are allowed and of course the pre existing prohibition on using the clubhouse continues.

It has therefore been decided to suspend the Wednesday and Friday sweeps (the Tam Young Tankard and the Srixon ball sweep) until such time as conditions are eased, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Golf can still be played and bookings should be made via the online system whenever possible, but remember, only two ball games unless all players are from the same household.

Sunday 6th December – AGA Winter League

Match against Machrie Bay at Whiting Bay, 9.00am tee off. Course reserved until 11.30am.

WBGC Team is John Pennycott & Dougie Auld; Stan Rainey & David Blair

A Testimonial from Four International Members

Those of us who are members of Whiting Bay know how fortunate we are. We live on (or regularly visit) a beautiful island, we play a course that is invariably in good shape with some of the finest views imaginable and we meet some wonderful people. For some people however it’s not so easy. Here’s a letter from four of our US based visitors. They travel thousands of miles every time they play Whiting Bay. It’s clear from the letter just how much the club means to them and it’s heartwarming to read their supportive comments. It’s nice to know we are doing something right! 

Jonathan, Neil, Brian and Tyler are now members of Whiting Bay GC and we look forward to seeing them the next time they can make it across the pond. 

Thanks for writing guys and welcome to the club.

 

Saturday 29th August – Fun Texas Scramble

The ever popular Fun Texas Scramble is back! Get your teams organised for 15 holes of golfing fun followed by a burger and some beers at the clubhouse, hopefully outside in the sunshine but if not indoors in the bar. Either way we’ll be maintaining social distancing so it’s a safe environment for all. Don’t miss it. It’s always a fun day.
