The Long Awaited Return

well, its a new year, unfortunately we all haven't made it to the range as much as we would have liked. This being mainly due to the crazy weather we have suffered since November!

Myself and the other teachers who organise the golf have been discussing what we can do over the coming weeks. We are certainly going to be starting to head back to Hamilton Range on a Thursday after school and maybe secure some lessons for the pupils (although some of the staff could be doing with them more! )

Definitely as the weather gets better and the muni. course is on Summer greens again we think we will take the guys down and try and get a proper game as much as possible

As Mr McGowan has worked in loads of schools before he has a lot of contacts and we are trying to set up a game against Mearns Castle, both staff and pupils



Events to look forward to

Last year the school competed in the South Lanarkshire School Golf Festival (I think it was in April! It was raining so I can't pin it down, could've been the third week in June based on that description) so that will be good

Hopefully some games organised against Mearns Castle and some lessons for the pupils

The Grammar shield to take place at Mr Arthurs home ground of Riccarton - current holder Grant Cuthbert

and the now annual trip to Biggar (which will probably need to be organised before the last week two weeks of term!)
