Well done to Margaret Jack on a fantastic score.

Brian Jenkins Birthday Bash
Last weekend a group of members went away to Donnington Grove Country Club to celebrate Brian Jenkins 79th Birthday. The day didn’t start off very well as the rain looked like it was set in for the day. However, after a few beers in the bar, the sunshine finally come out. There were a few sore heads for day two but everyone had a great time.
Brian looked set to win on the last day but some dodgy putting on the back nine hindered him, lets blame it on the gin Brian.

Comeback complete
An emotional Tiger Woods completed an astonishing comeback to win the season-ending Tour Championship by two shots and record his first win in five years.
Less than a year ago he was 1,199 in the world after spinal fusion surgery - the latest of multiple operations.
Rose birdied the 18th at East Lake for a 73 to finish on six under and seal the top-five finish he needed to win the $10m (£7.6m) bonus on offer as FedExCup Champion.
What a great week for the game of golf, now on to the Ryder Cup!

The wait is over Whilst another season on the PGA Tour has come to an end, there is still the small matter of the Ryder Cup to be settled. One of the questions which still remains on both sides is the nature of the pairings. Team Europe is made up of five Ryder Cup rookies, meaning that captain Thomas Bjorn will need to make sure he pairs some of them up with more experienced players. The likes of Tyrrell Hatton, who exudes self-confidence, may thrive in the cauldron of the Ryder Cup, but nothing is a certainty in this tournament. For Team USA, the issue of first-timers is less pronounced with only three rookies in the line-up; they include Justin Thomas, who already has a Major to his name, and Bryson DeChambeau, who has been in sparkling form of late. DeChambeau’s physics-orientated approach to the game may come under pressure from the home fans, so may need a veteran such as Phil Mickelson to guide him through his round. The first tee shot will be struck at 7:10am (GMT) this Friday, so make sure you set your alarm nice and early. For the first time ever, the world's top 10 will all be playing in the tournament, so it’s going to be a cracker. |
New irons to improve your game |
Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence. |
Mix & match with Srixon Why not try combining Srixon's Z series irons together? The hollow-body Z U85 would make a great replacement for your long irons as they're are longer and more forgiving than traditional designs, and provide total control from the tee or the fairway. The Z 585 is the perfect candidate for your mid-irons, with exceptional distance provided by an internal channel on the clubface insert to allow for more face-flex. For the lower end of your bag, the Z 785 comes with supreme workability so you can pepper the flag from every yardage imaginable. |
