Well wasn’t that another great Masters week? Scottie Scheffler, who remember is just 25 years old, was just immense, yet again. David Gill had him in the Pro Shop sweepstake so I’m sure he was very happy with his victory too, And of course what a final round by Rory McIlroy? He said afterwards that it was the most fun he had on the golf course for a long time – I guess shooting 64 round Augusta would definitely give you a wee boost of happiness!!

I happened to speak with Mike from Trackman the following day and I asked him if Scheffler was a Trackman user and he was happy to report that he is. And it turns out that if you win the Masters as a Trackman owner, the company present you with a Masters green version rather than the standard, iconic orange one. You can see last year’s winner Hideki Matsuyama posing with his and Dustin Johnson setting his up on the range in the photos below.

Ladies Group Coaching Sessions

Lady captain Judy Pinnington and I have been chatting and are keen to provide some group coaching options for the ladies section, pitched at different standards of golfers. The idea is to help you improve your golf with some like minded ladies. The focus will be on having fun and implementing simple game improvement strategies.

Initially there are two options available as follows:

Option 1: New Member and High Handicaps

• Four one hour sessions 
• Dates (all Mondays): 25/4, 9/5, 16/5 & 23/5 (this avoids the bank holidays). 
• Times: 1030 – 1130
• Price per person – £50. 
• There will be a complimentary tea or coffee afterwards also included in the price. 
• 4, 5 or 6 need to enroll to make it viable. 
• The topics will be chipping, putting, bunker play and driving.

Option 2: Improvers Course

• Date: Wed 27th April
• A two hour session from 1000 – 1200
• Participants can then choose to grab some lunch together if they wish
• Price: £29 per person (this fee includes a tea or coffee 1/2 way through so we’ll end up finishing a little after midday)
• Topic: short game & putting

Both sets of lessons will have email follow up and the opportunity to get a 10% discount on subsequent individual lessons. Please speak to me for more details on this.

Please let me know if you’d like to enrol. Alternatively, if you have any suggestions or feedback on what else we could offer or improve on then please let me know.

Ladies 18 hole and 9 hole Stablefords

The weather was not at all kind to the ladies last Thursday so the number of players taking part was reduced. Full marks though to everyone who battled round.

The winner of the 18 hole competition was Min Fishwick with an excellent 37 points. Lady captain Judy Pinnington finished in second place. Nancy Fallows was the winner of the 9 hole competition.
