New FootJoy Tour S shoes have landed

New from FootJoy these lightweight shoes are made from premium leather and include a carbon fibre heel cup and outsole plate to help to add stability. The spikes themselves are housed in separate pods and are further apart in the sole to get a wider and more stable base.

Summer Knockouts

The Ladies Summer Knockouts are now open for entry on the psi machine in the locker room.

Winter Knockout Competition

A reminder that all matches in the fourth round (Quarter-finals) of the Winter Knockout are to be played by Wednesday, 21 February and there will be no extensions.

If your match has been played, please ensure the result has been recorded on both the draw sheet and the psi. If the winners are not posted by the round completion date the game could be assumed not to have been played and therefore both pairs could be subject to elimination. Winners - please check that the win has been posted.

Competition Results

Only seven members braved the cold to play in the Mid-week Stableford last Wednesday and our winner with 35 points was Dan Perrett.

Saturday's Stableford winner was Josh Merluk with 38 points. Seven seems a popular number or is just the weather? Monday’s Stableford only attracted seven entries and our overall winner was John Kinnard with 37 points, beating Merrick Denton-Thompson on countback.

Knockouts

The Summer Knockouts will be open for entry on the psi this coming Saturday, 10 February, with the closing date of Saturday, 31 March 2018. You may notice them on the members' diary as Sunday, 4 April, this will be the starting date for the Knockouts.

The Pinsent Knockout is a mixed pairs event and the ladies are entitled to two additional shots before calculation. Conditions of entry will be posted along with the poster, please ensure you read these BEFORE you enter a knockout.
