Well done to all those that battled round and braved the conditions both from above and below. After the event we had a tie for first place, so good luck to David Bigley and Richard Lewis in their playoff.

New range of clothing in-store

We now have a full range for both ladies and gents to see us through the winter with the arrival of Ladies Green Lamb clothing, and as winter feels like it is here already, the winter mitts and Woolley hats are ready and waiting.

Well done Gemma

For two reasons I am very happy with coaching at the minute, one is that Gemma Clews who I teach made the cut in her first LPGA event over in New Zealand against the best players in the world which is a remarkable achievement.

More importantly however, I have given Tom Hannon a few lessons to help him get back playing, which he is very determined to do and it’s my pleasure to be part of his process to be back on the course. Keep up the good work Tom, we all want to see you playing again.

If you would like to book your lesson to improve your game over the colder months, then please come and see me, and we will book you in.

2 stories from the world of golf

The main talking point from the weekend’s golf was Paul Dunne’s emphatic victory at the British Masters. The Irishman produced a sensational final-round 61, including a chip-in birdie at the last, to hold off Rory McIlroy’s late charge and win his maiden European Tour title by three shots.

Across the pond, the United States were taking on the International team in the Presidents Cup – their equivalent of the Ryder Cup. The USA strolled to victory in this one but it was the Rules-related drama that caught our eye. Here’s what happened:

1. During Friday’s fourball matches, Anirban Lahiri practiced a bunker shot after conceding a hole which is against the Rules, meaning he was DQ from the next hole due to the current hole already being over
2. During Saturday’s fourball matches, Oosthuizen attempted an eagle putt with his partner already securing the birdie. His eagle putt raced by the hole so Spieth picked up his ball as it was now meaningless…while it was still moving. This is a violation of Rule 1-2, which led to the USA team losing the hole

If you’re ever unsure of a ruling make sure you pop your head into the pro shop so we can point you in the right direction.
