Hello golfers,

First of all can I thank all members who took part in, or supported, our Professionals' Trophy this past Sunday. Our intention was to make the day as fun as possible and to make it a relaxed atmosphere in a summer of medal competitions. Those that entered for the full £10 got to enjoy a cold beer on the 16th whilst trying to 'Beat the Pro', as I was the Pro it gave them a huge uphill battle to come out on top. Well done to the select few who managed it, there wasn't many and on the 16th I managed seven birdies throughout the day; not bad for a Mars bar seller. The full results are below including the challenges we held around the clubhouse using our award winning facilities. We also managed to raise some money for our club charities with your help, here is our very own Mrs D presenting Captain Paul Rogerson with £150. Well done everyone!

A week to go until The Open, a lot of peoples favourite Major of the year and at the local Royal Birkdale. Remember, you can join us on a trip on the Saturday, but we don't have many spaces are available. Ask in the pro shop for information, reserve a spot for £10 and you can also enter a draw on the coach for a FREE adult ticket. Who will your money on? Tommy Fleetwood is worth a good each way bet round a links course he will know very well and a guy who is in form. The course is tough and long especially into the wind, so don't be surprised to see a long straight hitter at the top of the leaderboard. Get yourselves up to the club to watch the finals day play on the Sunday, treat yourself to some food and find out who comes out top in our Open Draw. More information on how to enter and what prizes are on offer in today's newsletter. Speaking of the Open, check out our shop news where I will be announcing our 'Open Sale' with some big savings to be had.
