Ladies B9 Stableford

Well done Lisa Warnes for winning this event last Thursday with 19 points. Diana Harris was second with 18 points and one point further back in third was Judy Pinnington.

Ping G440

The latest Ping G440 are excellent golf clubs, long and forgiving. I have driver, fairway, hybrid and iron demos in a multitude of lofts and shaft types. My prices are matched with Clubhouse Golf and American Golf. I provide free of charge custom fitting sessions. So if you’re looking for club upgrade, please look not further.

I had a trip to the Ping european HQ in Gainsborough last week, which was excellent. We had a factory tour initially which was really interesting – the build quality and tolerances on their clubs are super impressive. I’m actually kicking myself for not taking any photos.

We then spent a couple of hours on the range with their full time club fitters and learned loads to help us improve our custom fitting skills.

Bradley 6

Last Wednesday, Chris Adams won Bradley 6 with a very creditable 19 points. Three players recorded 18 points but winner of the card play off to finish as the runner up was John Wright. Third place went to Tony Sampson with Bob Siddle just missing out on a prize.

Karl Morris

We’ve had a good initial response to this so please contact me to reserve your space.
