Captain/Pro Challenge
Match week three and our first double win. Our opponents were Jeff Ashford and Alan Blatchford with Guy Paterson and Martin Tressider, with the weather set fair we got off to a flier, only dropping three shots on the front nine. We turned 3up on Jeff and Alan and 1up on Guy and Martin, although all players were hitting the ball well, the Captain and myself just had a few more up and downs and holed a few more putts.
On the back nine we kept our steady play up and although we dropped a shot on 10, we parred the next five holes to close out both matches by the 15th. Next week we play Nick Goater and Aide ‘The Gravedigger’, with Jason Cattle (Spurs fan) and Alan Boucher (Arsenal fan) so that should be interesting. |
St Andrew's Day Stableford
On what seemed like the only dry day of the week 52 members played in the St Andrew’s Day Stableford. Chris Copping pipped Sean Green to victory in Division One on countback with an excellent score of 42 points. Division Two was claimed by new member Geoffrey Blackburne with 40 points.
|
Stubby Stableford
Saturday’s event was rather a washout, however four members did brave the elements and the winner was John Chant with 39 points. A busier day on Sunday, the drier of the two days with Brad Barber winning Division One with 43 points. Tom Munday matched Brad’s score of 43 points in Division Two to take honours.

If you had to describe your iron play in one word, what would it be? Pin-seeker? Average? Inconsistent? Regardless of how your irons were this year, 2019 brings about a new season so there's no better time to start working on your game - there's always room for improvement. |
One way to do this is by getting custom fitted for Titleist's AP1 and AP3 irons. These clubs boast some outstanding technology to help you make more greens in regulation. The AP1 is Titleist's Ultimate Game Improvement iron, offering a higher launch and great forgiveness so every shot you hit is closer to your target. Combine this with AP3 in your long irons for distance where you need it most, and you have the perfect set for 2019. |
