All ready for the Nu-Form Knott End Golf Club Pro-am tomorrow, good luck to the 30 teams that are playing.

FLEXIBLE MEMBERSHIP Flexible Membership is designed to suit the modern lifestyles of those whose working and family life leaves them with little time to play golf and who cannot justify the full subscription. It is also an ideal membership for those trying golf for the first time and do not wish to commit to the expense of a full cost subscription. Flexible membership will give golfers the full range of facilities and experiences available only to members of Knott End Golf Club. It is a membership for those who want to be fully involved with their Golf Club, play friendly games at the weekend or participate in competition golf*, or a relaxing 9 holes at the end of the day followed by a drink with like-minded people. If this is you then come to Knott End Golf Club as a valued member with many of the privileges membership brings such as an official handicap, access to the Clubhouse, playing in some of the annual competitions and being a part of the active club social life. A Flexible member receives 365 golf credits when they make their first annual payment of £390. Each time they play, a number of credits are deducted according to the time of day and day of the week (see chart below). Members running low on credits can top-up a maximum of twice at £100 each time for a total of 200 extra credits and keep on playing. Affiliation Fees for men cost £12.25 and for ladies, £16.75. The number of rounds that can be played with Flexible membership depends on when they are played. For example, the 365 credits provide 12 rounds of golf when playing at peak times during the weekend. Playing on midweek afternoons results in the opportunity to play nearly 18 rounds. Topping up gives even more golf with a maximum of 18 rounds of weekend morning golf or 28 rounds of weekday afternoon golf. The member must book via the BRS online booking system and this will be monitored by volunteer marshals. Unused credits remain valid for a further year only when membership is renewed. The Flexible membership will have the benefit of a bar card which can be loaded separately with cash to pay for food and drink in the Clubhouse. Members are then entitled to a 10% discount on drinks from the bar and the additional benefits of social functions. *Flexible members may not enter Trophy or Cup Competitions or any Honours Board event. Flexible Members may enter all medal and stableford competitions. Flexible Membership from 1st July for the 6 months until 31st December 2017 will cost £195 + £12.25 for men and £195 + £16.75 for ladies and 180 credits will be received. Further details can be found on the Golf Club website

“It would seem that there is a significant lack of understanding and clarity regarding the future of Knott End Golf Club and the impact the Halite Gas Storage Project might have on the course should it ever progress to the next phase. So to ensure that the facts rather than fiction are restored the club would like to make it clear that their legal representatives are currently in negotiations with Halite Gas Storage Ltd regarding the Compulsory Purchase of a small plot of land owned by the club which is situation immediately adjacent to our 5th Hole and 6th tee. The sale of this particular plot of land has no material impact on the existing course layout or the number of holes the course will have in the future. Any rumours that the course will be reduced to 9 holes or any other combination is complete fiction and has no foundation. We understand that it is often more compelling for fake news to be proliferated, but in this case the Board and Club members trust that the above facts are used and passed on to anyone who believes otherwise.”

Congratulations to Knott End member Steve Richardson on winning the Wyreside Trophy with 2 excellent scores of 73-6-67, 73-6-67. Presenting the trophy Captain Mr Jim Furlong.
