Greetings golfers, 

Welcome to another edition of your pro shop newsletter bringing you all the latest news from the club, inlcuding a match report from the year's most competitive fixture as our 1st Team and 2nd Team did battle.

Enjoy this week's read.  

The year's most competitive fixture...

Last week we had our 1st Team vs. 2nd Team match; one of the most enjoyable games on the calendar. We always have a good laugh and a great meal afterwards, and this year was no exception.

The Captain and I led the pack for the first team against 2nd team Captain, Steve Hall and Simon Moorhouse. Unfortunately, we got battered. We were 5 down through 6 after I had shot 1 under gross. We pulled it back a little bit to save some grace, but lost the match 4 and 3. The 1st Team went on to win 9-4.

Pictured at the post match dinner here are Steve Hall, Captain Peter Atherton and 1st Team Captain, Steve Williams.

Steve Williams couldn’t play as he decided to get in a fight with a hedge trimmer. He will, however, be next year’s Captain, announced earlier this week. We would like to wish him good luck and congratulations.

Gill and Emma claim division honours

The ladies played on Tuesday in a Stableford competition split into two divisions. In Division 2 Wendy Mosley was the runner up with 34 points. Wendy was narrowly beaten to the victory by Gill Usher, who also scored 34 but won on a card play-off. In Division 1, Angie Riordan scored 33 points to come in 2nd place but was beaten by Emma-Jayne Bolshaw, who scored 34.

Can he go on to win a Major?

Matthew Fitzpatrick won his fourth European Tour title with a dramatic play-off victory over Australia's Scott Hend at the European Masters. The 23-year-old shot a closing six-under 64 to end on 14 under at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland. Hend led by three shots going into round four and had an eight-foot putt to win on the second play-off hole. But he missed and a wayward shot from a bunker on the third play-off hole gave Fitzpatrick the chance to close out.

Can Fitzpatrick kick on and go on to win a major next year? He’s definitely getting closer.

Your offer of the week

Cobra King F7 Driver with Cobra Connect technology plus a dozen balls for £279.

The Cobra King F7 Driver is latest Cobra has to offer. The driver offers 3 different centre of gravity positions, helping you produce a variety of different tee shots, perfect for different course conditions faced on the course. Move the 12g coloured weight to the front position for a more low-ball flight with less spin. Move the weight to the back position for a more towering ball flight with added spin for more carry. Moving the weight to the heel position creates more draw spin to correct a slice by delivering a straighter drive, which is perfect for the beginner golfer.

With this Driver, you will receive Cobra Connect Technology. With COBRA CONNECT each drive is automatically recorded to your phone and total distance is calculated as soon as you hit your second shot. Review your stats post round to determine your longest drive, average driving distance and number of fairways hit.

As well as all this we will throw in a dozen balls of your choice, all for the Driver's RRP (£279).

But remember, this offer is for one week only, so don’t miss out!
