Message from John Creighton - Mens Captain 2022
May I welcome you to Girton Golf Club. I’m sure when you visit us you will meet some friendly faces and enjoy your day, whatever the weather. I have met so many friendly people at this golf club and look forward to welcoming you. Please do visit the Pro Shop to sign in before you play and pick up any extra kit you may need or maybe just a momento as a reminder of the day.
Do come inside and relax for a pre-game drink or treat yourself to a cooked breakfast before you play, try out the driving range and practice facilities to warm up if you have time but don’t use up all of your good shots!
For the big hitters, keep it straight. Go slightly off line slightly and you may be in trouble. Watch out for ditches, doglegs and dodgy bounces, the firm clay fairways can be cruel so my advice is try to fly it all the way to the green. Whilst the course may seem short, it is tight and tough, not many play to par. Under-read the greens at your peril. They look flat but they seldom are so putt it firmly to the back of the hole to save par, don’t trickle it in as it will slip by somehow.
Once finished playing why not retire to the bar or the outside seating area for a drink and recount your round or drown your sorrows. Someone will say hello and is bound to ask how you got on. If you see me come and chat to me. I welcome any comments, compliments preferably but also complaints with your solution. We are always looking to improve the course, clubhouse and playing experience.
I hope you enjoy your day and come back to play again, either as a new member, a guest or a group. You will be more than welcome.
Thank you for visiting us.
