Anyone marking a score card in SDM qualifying competitions must have an active handicap. If they are not an FPG member, they must produce a current handicap certificate from their home club. As it is not always practical to show the certificate to a committee member, it should be shown to all members in their playing group to avoid any queries.

Please also note that all guests who play in SDM competitions, both qualifying and social, are required to pay the entry fee, currently €2.50

 

Presentation Evening will be on Sunday 2nd November at A Tasquinha Restaurant Monte Carvoeiro. Menbers have received an email and attachment with all the details.   Any member wishing to attend please contact Lynn Cook asap with their menu choices.
