Youth reigned over experience in 40mph winds on Sunday in the Pro Challenge. Roger Bennett led his team of young superstars - Jake Antoun, Jacob Kelso and Nathan Veness - to shoot a fantastic texas scramble score of 58.5. Well done to them. The next best score, and the only other team to beat Sian, Steve and my score of 60, was 59.5 by the team of Andy Johnson, Ian Butcher, Steve Burgess and David Frost. I must take this opportunity to thank everyone that played and comment on how good the course was. I thought the greens were excellent so thanks to Barry and his team.
The next competition is the Turkey Trot on Saturday, 19 December. This is a 10am shotgun start with coffee and bacon rolls at 9am. This is now available for bookings online, please book in your teams of four.
On Tuesday next week, the personalised golf ball special offer from Titleist will end so get your order in now to ensure a delivery ready for Christmas.
What was interesting was these two balls that were found next to each other last weekend - the owner must have a repetitive swing! It's just a shame they were both in a bush...
When I asked Peter about this he said "if you look hard enough there's quite a few more out there too!" With this in mind, I did laugh when I saw the order for balls with the owner's telephone number on them to call if found.

If you are unsure what gift you would like for Christmas, why not book a bag gapping session to see what could help your game? We have state-of-the-art technology to support our coaching and custom fitting. We have GC2 machines with HMT which is basically two high speed cameras built into one device, helping to track all ball data and the other tracks all club data. It truly is the best technology available. Then we have the Quintic technology in the Putting Lab which again is the best available to offer data on putter movement and ball roll.
How many people know the exact yardage of all of their clubs? We are talking about how far does the ball pitch with driver down to SW? How many people have all the distances covered with the set-up in their golf bag? One of the biggest issues we come across is people having clubs that leave gaps in their yardages. If you know your numbers you will shoot lower score. FACT. Get in touch to request a gapping.
Don't forget any gifts purchased for you will qualify to a nice New Year bonus for you to spend in the pro shop!
