The first medal really feels like a kick start to the summer season as 175 players contested on Wednesday for a place in the Medal Finals. You can read a full report on our Facebook page, but congratulations to Anthony Palmer, Curtis Done and John Corless for their respective divisional wins. This weekend brings us the International/Hill Cup on Saturday and the second President's Qualifying Event on Sunday. Best of luck to all involved and as ever please keep me updated on any mishaps, especially those playing with Jack Cowell.

Big congratulations to Jim Clelland who had a hole-in-one at the long 13th. I've not caught up with him yet so in my eyes he still owes me a drink.

Don't forget it's our Seve Charity day this coming Saturday. Everyone is welcome so please get yourselves down for some fun games, tapas and cheap San Miguel. Some of the games include our annual 'off your knees' driving competition, the legendary 'Rory challenge' or chipping into the washing machine and our new putting green has been housed with a new hole to carry out our 35 yard putting challenge. Games start from around 3pm with tapas being served from 4pm through to 6pm and happy hour from 5pm to 7pm.

Jack Senior

For those who don't know our Jack, he is currently plying his trade on the Challenge Tour and this week he is in Denmark. We will give you an update every week so that everyone here at HGC and in the Bay area can follow his season. After a disappointing week last week in Madrid 'The Bear' is hoping for an improvement. Jack has started well and is currently in second place on -3. Visit www.europeantour.com to follow his progress. We will sit down and speak to Jack in the future to find out his goals for the season and talk everything golf!
