Dear Members,
It is a great honour and privilege to be your Captain of this wonderful club. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all members, guests, and friends.
Firstly, I’d like to thank our outgoing Captain for their hard work and dedication over the past year. Alongside them, the committee, staff, and volunteers have all contributed enormously to the continued success of our club, and they deserve our sincere appreciation.
For me personally, this club has been far more than just a place to play golf. It has been a place of friendship, community, and many memorable moments—both on and off the course.
During my year as Captain, I hope to build on the strong foundations already in place. My aim is simple: to support our members, encourage participation at all levels, and ensure that everyone feels welcome—whether they are long-standing members or new to the club.
We are fortunate to have not only a fantastic course, but also a vibrant and friendly membership. It’s something we should all be proud of and continue to nurture.
Looking ahead, I’m excited about the season to come, with a full calendar of competitions and pending social events. I encourage everyone to get involved, enjoy the game, and make the most of everything our club has to offer.
Finally, thank you all for your support. I am truly honoured to serve as your Captain, and I look forward to a fantastic year together.
Thank you
Chris Dietz
Captain 2026/27
