Greetings!

As we approach the end of another month of Level 5 restrictions, we are all anxiously awaiting the return to golf on our beloved St. Anne’s, the home of great golf. Hopefully, our wait will soon be over and we can get slowly back to some sort of normality.

In the meanwhile, we hope that you enjoy this month’s newsletter.

Stay Safe and Stay Fit.
