As Club Officers for 2010 we are very mindful of the honour which our predecessors have bestowed on us. We are fully committed to justifying this faith by fulfilling our responsibilities throughout the year such that the Club continues to evolve as successfully as it has done in the past.

Our Centenary Year was a great success and our collective gratitude is due to all those who gave freely of their time – directly and indirectly – to make it as memorable as it is for us all. In keeping with our great spirit and sense of commitment many of the same members, together with some new, are busy working in various roles managing the Clubs affairs and putting in place the structures and events that will form the highlights of 2010. We wish to thank all those Members for their ongoing efforts and look forward to working with them as the year progresses.

We ask that all Members become familiar with the various activities within the Club, and where possible, lend support. It is important for the wellbeing of the Club that our facilities such as the bar and restaurant are also utilised, not just for social functions and golf events, but to entertain family and friends as well. Also, Douglas Members are well known for giving expression to a unique club spirit through the support given to club teams and players and we know, as in previous years, we can rely on this tradition being upheld in 2010.

We are also looking forward, very much, to the opportunities which our Offices provide us to represent the Club externally at all golfing and social events in the year ahead.

It is our fervent intention for 2010 to ensure that Douglas Golf Club continues to justify its strong reputation as a friendly, hospitable and vibrant place for the benefit of all its members, their families and of course, our welcome visitors.

We wish you all good health, happiness and great golf in Douglas Golf Club for 2010.
