Approximately four weeks before the dates I will be asking for names of players who wish to take part. At this time, you can let me know by email to vice.captain@crondonseniors.co.uk
Please also advise me if a Buggy is required and any Dietary requirements you might have.
When entering for the away day it will then be your responsibility to pay your £47 [tbc] entry fee and notify our treasurer Dave Sleet.

A few days before the event I will publish final details and order of play along with any other relevant information.
As well as the individual prizes at each Away day, you will automatically be entered into the Ernie Shaw competition, which runs across all the Away days. The Winner being the player with the highest points total over the season.
Ernie Shaw points are allocated as follows: - 1st = 12 points; 2nd = 10 points; 3rd = 9 points; 4th = 8 points; 5th = 7 points; 6th = 6 points; 7th = 5 points; 8th = 4 points; 9th = 3 points; 10th = 2 points. All other participants on the day will receive 1 point. So, turn up for all 6 venues and you will have at least 6 points!
I look forward to all your support through the coming season and with the Ernie Shaw competition and hope you enjoy this year's golf.
