Delay of Minutes of May Committee Meeting 2023

By

Dear members,

We had a committee meeting on May 16, 2023.  Unfortunately, it was not completed and could not be re-convened and completed until June 2, 2023.
Since then, we as a committee have been unable to agree of the wording of some parts of the minutes of the meeting.  The committee apologizes for the inconvenience that this has caused to members. We understand that we were elected to serve the members and you deserve better.
As soon as we have an agreement on the final wording, the minutes will be published.

Korineum Match

By

Secret Valley team has returned from its friendly match at Korineum Golf Club. It was a two-day trip with a practice round in the first day. Unfortunately, severe rain has stopped us before we could even complete the first half of the course. In my view the weather played a huge role in a convincing defeat we suffered the next day. Korineum is a great and a rather challenging golf course and in the future we would need to get to know it better. Meantime we are starting preparations for a home match with the Korineum team, and we do hope for a convincing win on our turf. Our team-members responses to the event have been overwhelmingly positive - we have made new friends and played the game we love so much.

Interclub Away Match vs AH 2023-05-17

By

Dear members,

 

We had great and a highly contested away match against Aphrodite Hills on May 17th which we lost 4-6 but showed our best away performance. We had five players who participated in such event for the first time this year and I am happy to say that the total number of entries to the 2023 Interclub competitions is now approaching 70 which is an all-time high. 

 

Aphrodite Hills team will visit us on June 7th and we have a very good chance of winning the Venus Rock Cup.

 

Well done to all the teammates and a special thank you goes to Dave Hardy who has won 100% of his four matches.  

 

Best Regards,

Club Championship Presentation Video

By

Dear members,

Below is a link to the Club Championship Presentation video.  The  video was put together by Catrin Koring. She spent over 6 hours on this on Monday!
I would like to personally thank Catrin for all of her hard work organizing everything related to the Club Championship. She was able to secure 6 sponsors who donated a total of about 2,000 euros in cash and prizes and then still found the time to put together this amazing video. 
Link to Video  –>  https://youtu.be/xsmS8rS7LSc
Catrin also organized a Charity raffle with Great prizes from the sponsors.  We were able to raised 130 euros for the Captain's charity thanks to Catrin's efforts.  
We also collected 130 euros for Helen and gave her a gift basket as it was her last working day at Secret Valley.
