Hello golfers,
I think if you had suggested the winning score at The Open last week would be 20-under-par before play started, you would have been laughed at by many. However, a superb performance from Sweden's Henrik Stenson saw him take his first Major title on that very score having taken part in an enthralling battle with Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon. Many thanks to those who took part in our sweepstake competition. Bob Condie, Pat O'Sullivan and David Jones were lucky enough to be drawn with Henrik Stenson. A full list of prize winners can be found by clicking here.
Closer to home Club Captain Gareth Jones has been enjoying a purple patch of his own. Not content with winning the Mid-week Stableford after his 40 point tally, Gareth promptly returned a nett 67 on Saturday in the Baines Thomas Cup. Well played Gareth!
Entries are now open for both the Generations Cup (Sunday, 31 July) and Gent's Invitation Day (Sunday, 7 August). The Generations Cup is open to all parents and their children and grandparents. Those wishing to play that don't have a child who plays can "adopt" a junior member for the afternoon. Please add your name to the sign in sheet on the main noticeboard if you wish to play as per usual. Gent's Invitation Day this year will consist of an 18 Hole Betterball Stableford in the morning and a 9 Hole Texas Scramble in the afternoon. Coffee and bacon rolls will be served on arrival with a buffet lunch and tea served after golf. The entry fee will be £60 per pair, to enter please either reply to this email or add your name to the sign in sheet on the main noticeboard.
