DUE TO THE HURRICANE STORM THAT IS PREDICTED FOR TOMORROW THE SEPTEMBER MEDAL AT EASTWOOD HAS BEEN POSTPONED


Severe gales and flooding are expected to hit parts of the UK as Hurricane Katia makes its way across the Atlantic.

Winds of up to 80mph are predicted to hit northwest Scotland by Monday, with Northern Ireland, north Wales and northern England also likely to be affected.

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for Monday, warning people in Northern Ireland and Scotland to be especially prepared.

It said: "The remains of Hurricane Katia are expected to come across the UK on Monday, bringing a spell of wet and very windy weather.

"There remains some uncertainty about its track and intensity, although Scotland and Northern Ireland are most likely to bear the brunt of the winds.

Due to the likely hood of this bad weather Captain Trish and Results Secretary Freda in conjunction with the Captain of Eastwood Golf Club the decision has been made to call off tomorrow's Medal.
The Committee will look into to possibility of rearranging the Medal for another date. We will keep the members informed of the outcome
