Jake's success at St Andrews
I apologise for the fact I omitted to inform you of Jake Antoun's success at St Andrews and then referenced it in last week's email.
Jake put in an excellent performance at the Wee Wonders National Finals at St Andrews over the weekend. He came third overall in the 11&12 age group by shooting 71-71 on the Strathtyrum Course off the white tees (5,620 yards).
Jake was the highest 11-year-old finisher in the country since both boys ahead of him were 12-years-old. Jake had to come through two qualifying events to make the finals (Hever Castle then Hoebridge) so quite a journey.

It's that time of year again when the notice of the Men's, Ladies and Seniors AGMs are published on the noticeboard. Just in case you haven't seen I have listed the dates below:

In addition to the AGMs, we also have the following events coming up so get booked in and put in your diary:

He's back! Or is he?
So, what did you make of Tiger Woods' announcement that he hopes to return to action in October?
The former world number one, now ranked outside the top 700, splits opinion, but it can surely only be a good thing that the 14-time Major winner is close to teeing it up competitively again after more than a year on the sidelines. Of course, nothing is straightforward where Tiger is concerned, because at the time of writing the 40-year-old still isn't 100% certain he'll be in the field to play in the Safeway Open in California, starting on 13 October - it all just adds a little drama to the Tiger circus.
"It could be a fun fall," said Woods. "It was difficult missing tournaments that are important to me, but this time I was smart about my recovery and didn't rush it."
What we do know is that he will be at Hazeltine at the end of the month as a non-playing Ryder Cup vice-captain. We suspect once the dust has settled on events in Minnesota, Woods will let us in on a little more.
Maybe you're gearing up for your own return to action? If that's the case and your game is a little rusty, don't hesitate to speak to the team about some coaching.
