Members Interest: September 2020

In Memory of Past Members and Friends

It is with deep regret that we inform members of the death in early August of Barbara Hawman, aged 77. a long standing and well-respected member of the club.

Barbara was a long-standing member, having joined Saltburn Golf Club in 1976. She was Ladies Captain in 1997 and the Secretary of the TSLGA for over 20 years. Members, past and present, remember their times with Barbara at Saltburn Golf Club with much fondness.

Our condolences to husband Brian and the family, and to Barbara's sister Christine Skjelhaug, on behalf of club members.

SGC – Golf Course Nest Boxes

Once again, a huge thank you to Colin Gibson who continues to make a very important contribution to wildlife conservation through his programme of renewal and repair of the various nest boxes that are located around the golf course. Colin’s work is tremendously important to supporting a healthy diversity of bird life around our golf course and you can read his recent report via this link.

Our Resident Tree Expert – Mike (Chic) Vickers

During the Club Championship in 2019, Chic had the unfortunate experience of getting his ball stuck up in the solitary tree in the middle of the approach to the 12th hole. Sadly, this now seems to have become a regular feature of Chic’s Club Championship campaign and this year in the 2020 Club Championship, he experienced a similar fate on the 13th hole.

Better luck in 2021 Chic!!
