Hello golfers,
2015 was a fine year for Cuddington's Junior section, with many fine results both home and away. This year is shaping up to be the same, with a couple of fine performances at the weekend. Competing in the Daily Express Junior European Open qualifier at Lingfield Park, both Enrique Dimayuga and Jack Finch secured spots at the Grand Final in Spain later this year. Further congratulations go to Enrique who won the boys competition - congratulations to both players!
Later this year four of our members are planning to take on the MacMillan 72 holes in a day challenge on Monday, 20 June. Led by Ben Goldsmith, the quartet which includes fellow members Luke Wilton, Tony Eason and Club Captain Gareth Jones will play four rounds in a day to raise funds for a very worthy cause. If you would like to sponsor them you can do so by donating on their Just Giving webpage by clicking here.
I am pleased to announce that the 2016 Cuddington Pro-Am is now sold out after tee times were released last Saturday. This year's Pro-Am will be held on Sunday, 10 July.
Please note that winter rules have ceased with immediate effect.
Kind Regards,
Paul Schunter
Director of Golf & Operations
Cuddington Decanter and Club Championships
This year's Decanter sees a slight change in format with the best two nett stableford scores to count on each hole from a team of four players. Tee times will be from 12pm onwards with a buffet after play. Entry fees are £30 per person which includes prizes and a disco in the evening after the buffet. The Club Championships will again be played over two days, with the men's first round taking place on Saturday morning, and the ladies first round and Junior Stuart Cup taking place on Saturday afternoon. There will then be a cut in both the men's and ladies events, with the second round taking place on Sunday afternoon. Those wishing to play in the Junior Championship will do so in the Men's Championship draw over both days. After golf there will be a prize giving ceremony along with a BBQ and live music to which members and their guests are invited. To enter either of these event please either reply to this email or add you name to the sign-in sheets on the main noticeboard.

With some warmer summer weather on it's way to us this week, hitting the fairways will soon seem much more appealing. For those of you looking for an alternative to carrying your bag, the Sun Mountain Micro Cart may be the answer. The Micro Cart folds away in two quick and simple movements and when folded, this trolley offers you a small compact package that is perfect for transportation and storage. This trolley is extremely easy to push due to its large diameter tyres and light aluminium frame making it perfect for strolling the fairways.

It's time to get a grip!
As we head into the start of the golf season one area of a player's equipment that is quite often overlooked is the condition of their grips. Quite often we see grips that are:
- Smooth, with shiny patches and hard surfaces
- Cracked or split
- Show wear spots, especially where the thumbs make contact
- Faded or bare spots on grips that have been painted or have logos
- Complete loss of tack
Improperly sized grips, grips that aren't suited for certain weather conditions, grips that don't enhance playing ability and grips that are simply worn-out and slick will negatively impact your game and cost you strokes. Comfort, consistency, shot dispersion and shot distance can all be improved with new golf grips.
To help you get the best out of your grips we are currently offering 13 grips for the price of 10 on full sets, and seven grips for the price of six on a half set of re-grips while stocks last.
