Well for only a £1 it’s well worth a go, all you need to do is guess the combined drives of all three incoming captains, Nigel Newman, John Taylor and Luke Evans, the entry sheet is on the bar.
The draw will take place after the ‘Drive In’ and all proceeds are going to the new Captains charities.

Important notice
Notice is given that preferred lies will be in operation with effect from Wednesday, 17 October 2018.
“Preferred Lies” and “Winter Rules”
A ball lying on a closely-mown area through the green may be lifted without penalty and cleaned. Before lifting the ball, the player must mark its position. Having lifted the ball, he/she must place it on a spot within six inches of and not nearer the hole than where it originally lay, that is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.
A player may place their ball only once, and it is in play when it has been placed (Rule 20-4). If the ball fails to come to rest on the spot on which it was placed, Rule 20-3d applies. If the ball when placed comes to rest on the spot on which it is placed and it subsequently moves, there is no penalty and the ball must be played as it lies, unless the provisions of any other apply.
If the player fails to mark the position of the ball before lifting it, moves the ball-marker prior to putting the ball back into play or moves the ball in any other manner, such as rolling it with a club, he incurs a penalty of one stroke.
Note: “Closely-mown area” means any area of the course, including paths through the rough, cut to fairway height or less.
*PENALTY FOR BREACH OF LOCAL RULE:
Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play - Two strokes.
*If a player incurs the general penalty for a breach of this Local Rule, no additional penalty under the Local Rule is applied.”

Where does time go?
Cannot quite believe I posted these pictures of Jack and Megan and Jack’s ‘Cling-filmed’ car a year ago when they left us to go travelling, they have been back for six months now and you may see Jack occasionally out playing here at Hockley. Where does time go? |
This also means Scott has been with us for over a year now and is a fully qualified PGA Professional who has a vast knowledge of club fitting, shafts and club repairs. Along with Chris they are both experts in club fitting, so please come and make use of this knowledge and get correctly fitted.

When you step onto the tee with a driver in hand, there are two thoughts in most golfers' minds: "Hit it far, and hit it straight". Both of these were easier said than done, until Titleist released its new TS2 and TS3 drivers earlier this year... |
Both of these drivers are designed to bring more speed to your game, which results in greater distance. It's as simple as that. The Titleist TS2 is all about forgiveness. In fact, it has the highest MOI that Titleist has ever produced, which means it's more resistant to twisting at impact, for longer and straighter shots. However, if you have a consistent miss with your drives, the TS3 will be perfect for you as we can set it up to counter your destructive shot. With two models to choose from, it's more important than ever to come and see us for a custom fitting. What numbers will you be putting up on the Titleist board? |
