Pro-Am 2016 - Another great day at The Club!

So, despite a slight weather break, the whole day went off beautifully with 38 teams heading out on a fantastically presented golf course. I have to give special thanks to Mark, Craig and Andy, our greenstaff, who worked all ours and against the weather to produce a sunning looking golf course. I am always lucky enough to play in the Captain's team and want to thank our Captain Adrian and our other team mates Keith and Paul Harris for a great day. Unfortunately we couldn't hole a putt between us and ended up with a 'middle of the field' eight-under-par and was way off the pace as you will read later.

Putting on days like this at the club takes a great deal of work from many people, from all on the Pro-Am Committee to the members who volunteer to help on the day and in preparation the day before. The bar staff, the kitchen staff, Ann and Tina in the office, and of course to all our very generous sponsors who help to make our Pro-Am one of the best around.The amount of praise and thanks from both guests and Pros alike, always reassures us that we are doing a great job with our flagship event. So once again a huge thanks to all involved!

So on to the results… The Professionals' Prize was taken by Chris Gane from Silvermere who carded a superb 67 (-3). The corporate prize, a trip to Spain donated by Costaless Golf (costalessgolf.com), was won by the Wildheart Team led by Simon Halls and included John Murray and Men's Vice Captain David Barnett. The overall team winners with a fantastic 22-under-par was  Andy Jefferry, Ross Shepperd and big hitting lefty, Louis Tonkin. Well played chaps, some great golf played out there.

Roll on next year!

Hot topic

Is it the 'Big Three' or the 'Big Four'?

Just when you thought Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy were all set to divvy up golf's biggest prizes, along comes big-hitting Dustin Johnson. The US champion is now number two in the world and looks to be finally fulfilling his potential after another fine win at the weekend - and a big one too at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. For years Johnson seemed destined to be the bridesmaid, now he's one of the favourites to go back-to-back in Majors and take the Claret Jug back across the Atlantic.

Next week's Open at Royal Troon could be a classic

Which leads us on to a new section of our website - our regular poll, and we want your votes. Tell us who you think will win the Open Championship next week; will it be Day, Johnson, Spieth, McIlroy or A.N. Other?
