Tuesday 30th July 2024. Mens & Seniors Stableford Competition incorporating the Yellow Ball Challenge!!

Morning All

Please let me know if you would like to join in with this Competition as soon as possible. I will be making the draw on Sunday evening, probably quite late, as the California Cup is being played for all day.
Teams of three, with the normal Stableford rules and handicaps. However, for the Yellow ball competition, each team member must take turns (6 times each to complete) in getting that ball round their hole resulting in double points for that person and the team on that hole. If the yellow ball is lost, drowned, or o.o.b. the player will revert to a normal white ball and continue the Stableford round as usual, but that team can no longer feature in the yellow ball competition.
Please mark your cards (or use mobiles) in the normal way, but use the "Special Yellow ball" score cards for that part of the competition.
For the avoidance of any discrepancies, I have marked the yellow balls in a certain obvious fashion, but would ask any players who often use a yellow ball to use a different colour.
I hope this is all clear, and as with Dave Orford's Waltz last week, will add a little "spice" to the day.
Please enter your white ball scores on the HDIDIDO system as normal.
I already have half a dozen players keen to participate.
Good Luck!
best regards

Fowler Trophy 2024…Results

Good morning All

Attached are the results for yesterday’s competition.  The weather was hot, and with such a big turnout it was a little tense getting us all round the course without conflicting with the Red Socks or the Society visiting the Club in the afternoon, despite some groups taking upwards of 4 hours or more to complete their rounds.  (Newer Members should be aware that for planning purposes Sarah allocates each 3 ball, 1 hr 50 mins to complete each 9 holes to ensure players are deconflicted at the 10 hole – this should be reasonably generous.)

As you will see the Winners yesterday were Mark Collins playing off 22.9 (£20 and the Fowler bowl with a bottle of English champenoise), Christine Stevens HC 18.9 (£15) and Jack Riley 30.9 (£10).

The Front and Back 9 (£5) were one by Barry Keats and Geoff Rudd, respectively – well done all.

I hope to see you next Tuesday under the oversight of our Seniors’ Captain.

New Summer Holiday Junior Courses from Bruce – Just £30 per 3 hour Module!!

The Summer Holidays will be here soon enough and what better time than to get your kids and grandkids out in the fresh air learning some golf.

At just £30 per module per Junior (2 x 1.5 hour sessions per module), with a Class A Pro of Bruce’s calibre this represents unbelievable value.

How it works:

There will be two age groups – 8 to 12 and 13 to 17

Each group coaching session will have just 6 juniors so plenty of time to learn as an individual whilst enjoying being part of a group.

Each module will run within a day:  11am to 12.30 – break for lunch – 1.30 to 3pm

NB the full course is both modules, 1 and 2.  However you can book module 1 or 2 separately, or you can drill them and have them attend the course twice if they are really keen – we are pretty flexible.    You can also make up your own group of Juniors as a mix of ages so long as you have 6 in your party.  NB we know that some kids mature at different rates and so if you feel that you have a 6 year old who is ‘ready’ – please pick this up directly with the Pro.

Date     Day               Age range                Module

Jul 29   Mon                13 to 17                         1 – Etiquette, Putting, Chipping

New Specialist Shot Courses from Bruce – Cut your scores! SOLD OUT

Keen to reduce frustrating and avoidable shots lost at PRGC?  In these specialist shot courses, Bruce is focusing on some key shot savers for the PRGC course – you may be familiar with some of the challenges 🙂

Please contact us to register your interest or to sign up for one of the specific dates.

July 1: Focus on ‘Over and Out of Bunkers’ – lobs and bunker shots

Aug 1: Focus on ‘Keeping it Low’ – stingers and punch shots

We will try to accommodate everyone interested but as ever, Bruce will need to prioritise on a first come first served basis.

At £20 per hour this is a fraction of the normal cost and importantly will instil the core disciplines for you to practice.  If you like the idea of the specialist shots but would prefer a one on one course than please also contact us or speak to Bruce directly.

The more you learn – the better you get:  the better you get – the more you enjoy your golf!
