West Hove GC
Match Shirts |
|
|
The Club has today taken delivery of some new polo
shirts for the specific use of West Hove GC members
chosen to represent the Club in designated Club matches.
A specific Club 'match shirt' for ALL of our
representative teams was first muted by Match & Handicap
Chairman Martin Emery and subsequently agreed by the
Golf Committee. Martin was ably assisted in this project
by our Head Pro�, Graeme Crompton, and the Club�s
General Manager Gary Salt.
Anyone having been selected to represent the Club in a
recognised team event can purchase a shirt through the
General Office. The initial batch of 50 shirts will cost
�20 each, but thereafter the cost will be �24.
The Club is grateful for sponsorship from "Fuller�s",
London's last remaining traditional family brewer. Not
only are they the brewers of many award-winning beers,
but this month they won the prestigious title of
�Company of the Year� at the 2012
PLC
Awards.
Our shirts have been sourced by "Glenmuir", one of the
most prestigious and successful golf and leisure-wear
brands in the world. Their �slim fit� polo shirts are
tailored to create a modern silhouette which is shaped
through the waist to avoid excess bagging at the
waistband. An improved fit around the shoulders and
armholes facilitates movement through the swing. Please
note that as the style of the shirt is �slim fit� the
Club strongly recommends that you purchase a size one
larger than you would normally buy.

WHGC's Snow-plough goes into
action |
|
 |
Green-keepers
clear road to the Clubhouse
It is about half a mile from the Club's entrance on the
A27 Brighton-by-Pass to the Clubhouse so when snow falls, like
it did today, it needs a massive effort to keep the road open.
Special thanks must therefore be extended to the Club's
green-keepers who spent most of the day keeping the road
clear. Indeed, the Club was able to successfully host a
private function today and those who attended were especially
grateful.
The Club's General
Manager Gary Salt has reported that "the road is still safe
to pass as long as you drive with caution".
Unfortunately, the
snow and ice means that the golf course will be closed over
the weekend but thanks to the continuing effort of our
green-keepers THE CLUBHOUSE WILL BE OPEN.
