Following on from a recent Assessment by ELC Health and Safety Officers the Club received a communication advising that NO shots should be played from the steep bankings along the first hole and around the green.
At their April meeting the Executive Committee will be discussing how best to reflect this on the course. In the meantime all of the banking has been designated as Ground Under Repair, and encircled by a continuous blue line. Along with our long-standing Local Rule, all GUR at Winterfield is a No Play Zone, and relief must be taken if your ball is in there. This is a FREE DROP within one club length of the nearest point of relief, not nearer the hole. If you cannot see your ball, but you know it is on the banking, then your point of relief is taken from where the ball crossed the blue line into the NPZ.
Especially after wet weather the bankings can be dangerous, and we have had some serious injuries there in recent years. We advise that you do not climb the banking to find or retrieve a ball. Any golfer opting to access the banking to retrieve their ball does so at their own risk.
Scottish Golf have produced a video explaining the most important changes to the handicap system. You can view it by following this link: https://www.scottishgolf.org/whs-education-for-golfers?fbclid=IwAR1bbEznaZE6RqE7DEfjO3Zzu7uvXCLLTxGR8Xmmyh5smLVqoh-v1WFDFTk
We will have the new WHS Course Handicap charts very soon, and will post them on this site and on the Clubhouse wall as soon as they are available. Meantime paper copies of all 3 Men's tables and of the Women's Red table are posted on the notice boards in the Club, and photos of the men's tables are available on this site under the 'WHS Handicap Tables' tab, within the "Course" heading.

The Medals and Trophies from 2022 - 2023 were presented to prizewinners by the Club Captain Willie Daisley. A good evening in the clubhouse. Thanks to Willie, to the staff and members who helped out behind the scenes, to expert photographer Chris McArthur, and of course to the prizewinners for their efforts.
