From your Ladies' Captain

Looking back on the year 2012, my first year as a lady-captain, I can only conclude that we had a good, but also stressful year.


The biggest issue was the loss of our first ladies competition team. I regret this very much, also because as a result some members left the Club. I still think that with a better communication the whole problem could have been avoided, but then people must be willing to talk.

Apart from this all went relatively well. We had ladiesdays almost every week - only a few had to be cancelled because of bad weather - in a good ambiance and often with nice sponsoring from our own lady-members.

Our yearly "Out in the Blue" was a very hot, but also very enjoyable day at the island of St. Honorat.

In the Riviera Ladies Trophy we ended on the 7th place, which is not bad for a Club like ours, where members are only part of the year present. It was always a surprise who would be part of the team, but all who participated did their outmost.

During the periods that I was not in France, my "official team" of Jacqueline Lanting and Edith Zegerius took over the organisation of the ladiesdays with a lot of enthousiasme.

Conny Plesman took care of the teams for Mid-amateur- and senior- competitions outside the Club and Laurence Gomes of the Ladies Riviera Trophy team.

From the start of my captaincy there was always Liliane Meyer, who literally guided me through my first year with her experience and helped on every occasion she could

A big THANK-YOU for all of you. Without you I could not have done it.

I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a very good start into the New Year.

WEATHER RESTRICTIONS

We are all well aware of the delicate state of the golf course, due to the heavy rain of recent weeks. As a result, and to prevent serious damage to the course there are occasions when the club asks players to refrain from driving carts on the fairways.
We would ask that all players observe these restrictions and failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.
There have also been reports of members driving carts outside of the designated areas, without a ‘red flag’ exemption.
Anyone doing this in future will be asked to attend a disciplinary hearing to explain their actions.
We hope that you all accept that exceptional weather conditions demand exceptional measures and that these restrictions are in place to protect our course.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Last week's book sale for charity at Royal Mougins was a great success. We have handed over € 650 to Conny Plesman for her Dental Care Project in Kenya.


I want to thank everybody who helped me, especially Conny and Gemma, all the people who brought books and last but not least the buyers, who often paid much more than we asked for.
Thank you all very much.

Message from our Green Keeper

Greens' spiking, October 2012


Dear Members,

Last week end's storms have saturated the ground.

Aeration of greens only started on Wednesday, October 3rd instead of  October 1st and we have "focused" on tee boxes.

Earlier this week a gloomy weather failed to properly dry greens.

Therefore it was decided to stop trying to finish this week, but beginning of next week.
We will do our best to open on Saturday, October 6th, the greens that have been "spiked" (Great Putting, G1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16)

Please note that we chose to work in the direction of the game, leaving the greens wettest and the 3/18, very complicated.

This explains why some of the greens are not spiked.
Thank you for your understanding.

Return of the Iyashi Dôme at the Spa

In Japan, there was traditionally a form of therapy to eliminate toxins by sweating : the Suna Ryoho.

This revolutionary technology makes it possible to purify the body, regenerate body cells using “sweating” by way of distant infra-red waves.

Indeed, one sessions of Iyashi Dôme produces the same amount of sweat as walking at least 20 km, but without the negative effects (excessive endorphin, development of fatty acids, cardiac risks, premature wearing out of the body…).

 

 1 Session (30 min) : € 60

10 Sessions : € 500
