Is there life after ClubV1?
Following a lengthy period of investigation, the decision has been made to transition our golf management software system from Club Systems (Club V1) to Intelligent golf (IG). A sub-group has been considering this for some time, has conducted visits to other clubs to witness the operational aspects and spoken at length with IG representatives. We have been unhappy with some of the aspects of the Club V1 system and the restrictions that this places upon both the Office and the C&H Committee and so it was decided at the Captains Committee last year to conduct a thorough review and comparison of the two products following which an informed decision could be made.
We are currently now in the process of moving across to Intelligent Golf (IG) and hope to achieve this by the middle of May.
IG is an integrated system for golf club members and administration, covering membership management, tee booking and competitions. We are also taking the opportunity to bring our website within the same system providing integration between the new members app and the club website.
It is a significant change for both the Office, our C&H committee and members and a decision which has not been taken lightly, but we feel that IG provides a better and more professional approach and one which will enhance the club’s reputation and online image.
We will provide regular updates and full support to members during this transition through workshops, ‘pop in’ events, detailed information on how to log in and help guides to support members moving across.
Some of the many benefits will be-
One single App (rather than ClubV1 and HDID)
Automatic publication of results
Tee booking-fully integrated and more flexibility to edit, and set up competitions for example, morning or afternoon events including scrambles, open events, Charity days, two tee starts and social golf.
Produce team sheets with handicap data and results facilities so all members can see.
Comprehensive data capture of visitor information with automatic follow up emails to visitors after they have played the course
Website with secure Members Area accessed through individual ‘log in’ containing key club documents.
Improved Reporting functions.
Easy marketing and contact key groups with both text messages and emails
Social events can be promoted, booked and managed on-line.
We are aware some members have used IG and the IG App in the past, so if you are willing to offer any support to other members when we start the roll out, please contact Richard.lane13@hotmail.com or generalmanager@alresfordgolf.co.uk
A very early heads up – Date of Birth and Postcode. If the club does not have a record of either of these, you will not be able to log in until this information has been updated.
Interview: our Ladies Captain
Editor: What is your biggest challenge you face in your role?
Polly: There are many challenges. One is to make sure the ladies are represented in management decisions, as we have one of the largest sections in the county. I am playing a round of golf with all new members, which hopefully helps them integrate into the club, and the ladies have organised ”Meet and Greet” and ”Nine and Wine”, social events. Also I play golf as a sport, so the performance of the teams is really important to me, and I am hoping this year we will have some great individual and team results.
Editor: I know you are keen to promote your Charity. Tell us more about it and why you chose it?
Polly: Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer,the care and treatments I received at Southampton Hospital, was life changing ! Luckily I am free of cancer now, but I hadalways planned to do some charity fund raising, and my role as Captain is the ideal opportunity. I have agreed with the hospital that they will match fund any money raised, so that is really great news. I would like to thank all the members of AGC who have supported me in raising the money, because the numbers of women being diagnosed with breast cancer is now 1 in 2!

Editor: I know Bar and Catering is not your area of responsibility but what if any changes would the Ladies Section like to see for the future?
Polly: The catering is really difficult in any golf club, but possible suggestions would be a larger range of sandwiches and cake available every day! Also lighter lunches on a Tuesday and more variation, encouraging ladies to eat more at the club.
Editor: What concerns you most about the club? Any suggestions to improve value for members?
Polly: I think our members should be proud of beingpart of a well run golf club. The course is playing really well, with lovely fast and true greens, and when all the winter work has finished the course will be excellent. My only slight concern is that some of the ladies tees should be level.
Editor: What are your aspirations for the role? What would you like to achieve?
Thanks Polly. I wish you a successful year and especially a big charity campaign success for Southampton Hospital.

Catering Update
As we spring into the golfing season, I thought it the perfect time to give an update to the membership on Bar & Catering.
There is no hiding from the fact that over recent months, the catering side of our offering has not been at the standard any of us (members or Kitchen @ team) would have wanted or expected.
We have worked tirelessly in the background to secure additional chefs and a Head Chef to lead us thorough 2025 and beyond and where I thought recently we had secured these positions, unfortunately these fell through. Rob in the kitchen has continued to work hard covering all the events plus the day to day business but we have had to rely heavily on agency chefs which is never ideal – from either a consistency or cost perspective. It is very difficult to plan changes to the business without key staff in place.
Probably the largest downside of having a kitchen (and business) under this pressure is a restricted, unevolving, ‘I’ve eaten everything off this’ menu scenario, which we have found ourselves in. I must say at this point a big ‘thank you’ to those members who have supported and understood the reasonings for this menu and offered their comments and ideas when it comes to ‘tweaking’ and ideas.
Before I talk about what’s next – I would also like to publicly thank Tracey, Vicky, Harriet and Sarah who have not only kept the beer flowing and coffee pouring but also fielded their fair share of comments regarding the loyalty scheme! All four are a huge asset to both The Kitchen @ and Alresford Golf Club.
So what next – firstly, we’ve hired a Head Chef. Her name is Ria and she comes to us following a 5 year Head Chef role based in Purbrook for CH&CO and prior to that in Waterlooville for Connect Catering. She has a big passion for baking, so it won’t be long before cakes and bakes will be on the bar again! Ria will join us on the 22nd April (Ladies Spring Meeting) and I hope you all get a chance to introduce yourselves and welcome her to Alresford over the coming months.
In the short term we are refreshing the current food offer. This will be available from Friday this week. With the longer hours on the course and more members visiting, now is a good time to change. The menu will be revisited again come Summer and after Ria has had a few weeks to settle in, so please bear with us and look out for the new options.
As of 1st April, Spring hours come into play and these can be found on the clubs website.
To finish, a final thank you to all those members who have offered their support during the last few months which have proved challenging for us. It is greatly appreciated.
We will continue to work hard to provide a bar and catering offer that meets all our expectations.

From the Club Captain
It’s good to be getting into the Golfing season and seeing our course getting back to it’s best after all the hard work put into it over the winter projects.
The Men’s friendlies were played against the County Juniors (won 3&2) and the Tri-Way against Alton GC and Tylney Park GC at Tylney Park. We won by significant points 249 versus Alton at 234 and Tylney at 210. A shout-out to Brian Shand who scored significantly over 40points on his own and brought on a barrage of different versions of bandit from all 3 teams. That’s what happens when you have one of them rounds (apparently).
Unfortunately, we lost away to Royal Winchester GC also having a lot of course maintenance and still playing off mats which was new to most of our team.
Please review ClubV1 Teams/Men’s Friendlies 2025 and mark your availability for as many matches as possible, and give Charlie plenty of choices to mix up each team.
The Club Team Challenge between Men’s Gales Hockley, Men’s County 7’s and Ladies Stoneham Team. Thank you to the Ladies for the preparation work and organising Start Sheets and Score Cards and To Sean Yates (covering Ash Willmott) and Trevor Pearce for preparing their teams for a great day that saw Polly Church get handed the Trophy for a great win for the ladies.
Some of the Ladies were off for warm weather training in Turkey – Like they needed it. Dorothy Shore – Tim O’Connor and I are still hurting!
New Member Meetings currently reside at 32 with 28 Men and 4 Ladies.
Of the 26 Men joining and 4 Ladies Joining (2 not joining), split is 10x 7-day, 9x 5-day, 8x Intermediate, 1x Student, 2 x Country.
I am hoping to see more activity this year on the Marshalling. Please contact the office if you need help for signing-up and would be good to see new faces supporting doing some sessions out on the course if you have time, advice and guidance can be given.
I have had to speak with a couple of people this month with regards to wearing hats, having Telephone Calls and having Clubs and Shoes inside the Club House bar area.
Please be considerate to the other members and staff and respect the clubhouse rules.
I didn’t get to the Bingo this time but trust it went well as always.
Please support the Mother Day Dinner if you can and the up-coming Spring Scramble also.

Ladies Section
March has been a fantastic month for the ladies, with several outstanding wins across multiple competitions.
The Hayling Trophy team has secured a place in the semi-finals after a dominant 5 – 0 victory over Worldham in their final group match. The squad of 13 ladies led by team manager Linda Wager has played exceptionally well throughout the competition, showing great team work and determination. We wish them the very best of luck as they prepare for the semi-finals.
In the Daily Mail Foursomes, Alresford’s representatives Heather Williams & Sarah Staines, have continued their strong run. After defeating Royal Winchester 2 & 1, they followed it up with another impressive win against Hockley 3 & 2. Their success highlights their great partnership and ability to perform under pressure.
A special congratulations to Jenny Myers & Rosie Rooney who represented the county first team in a match against Oxfordshire. Both players delivered excellent performances and won their matches, a great accomplishment at the county level.
A particularly exciting milestone was achieved in the Club Team Challenge, where for the first time in the history of the competition, the ladies’ Stoneham Cup team secured a remarkable victory! This emphatic win is a testament to the talent and dedication of our ladies’ squad, and bodes well for the future matches in the Stoneham Cup.
Congratulations to the winter triple team that played at Corhampton and won, with a great score of 128 points, and therefore we came a credible second overall, after trailing in last place.
Looking ahead the ladies’ friendly matches will begin next month, providing more opportunities for enjoyable golf, on different course. Also I am excited to announce a ladies fashion show taking place on Tuesday 29th April, from 7 – 9pm. It promises to be a fun and social evening, raising money for the ladies’ charity, and we hope to see many of you there to support the event.
Well done to all the ladies for an outstanding month, and best of luck in the upcoming matches!

March saw the annual Hampshire Schools Golf Team Championship played once again at Hockley. Perins School fielded 2 teams of 3 players, our Junior Section was well represented with Toby Howells, Guy Phillips, Henry Reilly and Will Kendall all taking part. Congratulations to Guy, scoring 40 pts., and Toby, with 27, which put their team in 2nd place behind Swanmore. Finishing 2nd puts them in with a chance of qualifying for the English Schools Championship final to be played at Woodhall Spa in July.

A Look at the Rules
Question
Greens
As I write this, I’ve just come off the course, and I must say—we desperately need rain!
Winter Works
Most of our planned winter works are now complete, although some areas will remain marked as GUR (Ground Under Repair) for a little while longer.
Bunkers
The renovation of our bunkers is nearly finished. A whopping 60 tonnes of sand has been used to replenish existing bunkers and create new ones. The approach areas to the new bunkers on the 1st, 8th, and 17th holes have rooted nicely. However, the fescue turf around the greenside banks hasn’t rooted yet. Please try to avoid walking on these areas as they are still GUR. The sand trap, though, is now in play. Similarly, the practice bunker and the small 5th fairway bunker have new turf on their greenside banks. These areas are also GUR, so please remember to lift and drop your ball.
As I mentioned earlier, we’re really in need of rain. Due to supplier delays, we laid the fescue turf later than planned, which means it’s required hand-watering and continues to dry out. The greens team is doing everything they can to keep it alive until the rain finally arrives!
The Second Tee
The second tee is back in play, just in time for our first 36-hole board competition of the year—a qualifying course. The yardage posts and tee discs are back in place, and the tee tops have been trimmed to 12mm. We appreciate your patience, as the area to the left of the tee is still recovering. With this dry weather, the banks to the tees are also needing hand-watering.
On a side note, the more observant among you may have spotted that we’ve replaced the blue 150-yard marker posts!
Woodland Management
Our woodland management efforts have been in full swing over the winter. Recently, we planted 9 new trees and 100 hazel whips, all of which need hand-watering too. Stump grinding has been completed in some areas, which are still marked as GUR. While some of these spots have been turfed, others are waiting for rain before we can seed them.
Other Course Updates
The team has crafted a new shallowed-out path from the patio to the 9th green, complete with mounding. This path must NOT be used by buggies.
We’ve recently fired up the irrigation system—just in time for the new turf!
Greens
Our greens have had several liquid applications to aid recovery, along with a residual wetting agent to help retain moisture. Unfortunately, with the ongoing dry conditions (and the forecast predicting more of the same), we’re losing 2–3mm of moisture daily. We’re closely monitoring moisture levels, and the greens will also undergo light aeration in the first week of April.
Tees & Aprons
Tees and aprons are slowly bouncing back after a tough winter. The tee tops have received granular fertiliser, and any bare patches have been overseeded and dressed. Fairways have been raked, scarified, and treated with both granular fertiliser and liquid iron. Altogether, 160 bags of fertiliser have been used across the fairways, grass paths, greens surrounds, and tee banks.
Divot Party – April 10
Lastly, don’t forget to join our annual spring Divot Party on the morning of April 10. We will meet at 7.30am on the patio.

General Manager’s Update
Welcome to those new members who have joined the club in March and April so far;
Ken MacIssac, Matt Guiver , Mrs Nicki Evans (7 day), Jeremy Tate, John Kenward ( 5 day), Sam Campbell, Harrison Wood ( Intermediate), Oliver Corlette, Andy Hollands (Country), Mrs Juliet Rowe ( Academy), Dillon Refausse and Fergus Mercer-Nairne (Juniors)
We hope that you will enjoy your time with us.
COURSE ETIQUETTE & RESPECT FOR FELLOW MEMBERS
The current dry and warmish weather conditions will no doubt encourage everybody to venture out during April. It is important that we all play a part in protecting the course and helping it recover quickly in time for the start of the golfing season. Members can assist in this in a number of ways;
- Repairing pitch marks on the greens (if not yours, then find another to repair)
- Replacing divots on fairways
- Repairing divots on the tees with divot mix
- Adhering to any course directional signage directing traffic away from the worn areas
- Keeping to paths when possible
- Not walking over newly prepared areas with or without turf
- Not taking trolleys between bunker edges and the greens.
‘Pace of Play’ – probably one of the most contentious issues at any golf club. Every golfer does not consider themselves deliberately slow. However ‘Pace of Play’ is not always about the time. I would ask all members to consider how they are effecting other members on the course. It is the groups responsibility to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole or it is delaying the group behind i.e. it is apparent that they are playing quicker due either to ability or numbers, YOU MUST invite the group behind to play through irrespective of the number of players in the group. If your group is invited to ‘play thru’ you should do so, as by not doing so you in turn may be delaying the group behind you!
Allowing a group to play thru is not a slur on your golfing ability or character, but you will thanked and well regarded for identifying the need to and calling players through quickly and without delay.
Please respect the Course Marshall at all times – ignoring or arguing with the Course Marshall is not acceptable and any member doing so will be subject to the club disciplinary process.
FOR CLARIFICATION – the guide timings on the scorecard are not the times you are permitted to take. They are there for guidance only. So if the group behind is being held up, they MUST be invited through irrespective of whether you are playing to the time according to the card.
COMPETITIONS 2025 – BE PREPARED
For those members who play COMPETITIVE GOLF, please be aware of the Terms and Conditions of entry to club competitions found on the website in the Members Area / Competition Committee page.
For example to be eligible for prizes for Men’s Trophy and Board Competitions you must have a handicap index, have playing rights for the day of the competition and should have played in at least 6 qualifying competitions, (Home or Away but not General play) in the 12 months prior to the closing date for entry to the competition.
For the Club Championships (Men’s & Ladies’), you must be a full 7 day, Intermediate or junior member, with a fully developed handicap index (20 scores) and have played in at least 6 qualifying competitions in the 12 months prior to the closing date for entry to the competition (with a minimum of 3 at Alresford).
All members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the General Terms of Competition at the start of the season to avoid any last minute panic as closing dates for competitions begin to loom! Watch out for entry details and deadlines as they are posted on Club V1, FORE INFO and the Members Updates during the season.
