I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has signed up to play in our tournaments this year and has once again made the SCC Golf Society a success.

It is great to see players entering into the spirit of the society. Getting anxious after a good round and waiting to see if anyone has scored better. For those who have not played as well, the wait to see if they have made the cut is also a pleasure to behold.

Friendly mini-rivalries mean that no matter where you come, as long as you beat so-and-so your day will not have been for nothing. Players entering their stats on TourTracker to see the great parts of their game and the areas where they can improve. All this means that we look forward to the next tournament.

I would also like to thank The TeeOff Golf Society on behalf of everyone here at SCC Golf Society who make The MB Ryder Cup such a special fun day in our schedule.

And for those who visit the site and are wondering if you might come along to a tournament one day. Please feel free to sign up and come along. We are always welcoming new members throughout the year. We look forward to seeing if you could get your name on our year end review for 2010.

So from here I do hope everyone has A Very Merry Christmas and A Wonderful 2010. See you on the fairways.

Simon - Secretary SCC Tour.
