BCLGA Juniors Championship held at PRGC… 03.09.17

Great team effort from Team PRGC!!

“Jill & Sue
 
Just a short email to thank you both for your help and support for our adult/junior greensomes championship on Sunday.  The girls and parents had a great afternoon and all said how much they enjoyed the course.  Even though the weather was not very good, they all came in with big smiles , and then demolished the delicious buffet that we had ordered (the chicken wings were especially delicious).
 
Thanks to Jill for coming along on the day and offering to play, but as it turned out we had 8 pairs, so we didn’t need a marker.
 
It’s so nice when the juniors are made so welcome – we chatted to several of the men who had played earlier while the girls were out playing, and they were all very enthusiastic about junior golf.  We were also given a tour of your new short game practice facility – it looks very impressive.

Fortress PRGC once again under siege, but…

…once again we held out!!

Adlwickbury Park sent down their team for a dress rehearsal the week before and were keen to win the league with a crushing victory – but it was not to be 🙂
They are the divisional winners this year and hot tip to go on to win the play offs…but we held them at home!!! Three great performances enabled PRGC to secure a 3:3 draw and thus complete the home league season unbeaten. The Wagerfield brothers once again led off with a fine 3&2 win against a very fancied pair whilst Neil Martin and Dave MacKenzie strolled to a 7&5 victory. Highlight of the day was a fine 4&3 win by John Tubb who this time was “junior” partner to the maestro Jim Findlay. So John continues his 10 year unbeaten cameo and James once again proves that skill and wisdom are an unbeatable combination. Their opponents could not believe they had lost so an even better result. The final match of the season is away at Chartridge Park on Saturday 16 September

Well played PRGC!!!

Free Usage of Ball Collector…

Manisha is modelling the latest addition to our Academy Practice Area

Any member wishing to borrow the ball collector, please ask any member of the bar staff... it is free to use and trust me, when you are picking up a lot of balls, it'll be a lot easier on your back.

Additionally, we have reduced the height of the 'rough' to maintain definition but significantly speed up ball location 🙂

Captain’s Charity Day – Friday September 15th

This year we are supporting Rennie Grove - a charity providing care and support for patients in Bucks diagnosed with life-limiting illness. They make it possible for patients to choose how and where they want to be cared for towards the end of life.  The support they provide for families both during the illness and after bereavement is an integral part of their care. 85% of the funding required is from public donations - this is a special charity that needs and deserves our support.

Princes Risborough Golf Club are big supporters of Rennie Grove and after visiting their website we hope that you will be too

New Compressor and Shoe Cleaning Area

A quick heads up…

We have purchased a new compressor and we are planning to move the shoe cleaning area from its current location over the next 2 weeks.

Thank you for your patience in this regard

 

 

Fortress PRGC still intact – but September 2nd is the big one!!

The home match with Chesfield Downs on Saturday 12th August was once again a hard fought affair resulting in a draw three matches each. The highlights for PRGC were once again provided by the Wagerfield brothers with another stonking win and Alan Jackson and Gavin Adams who once again delivered a solid victory. The outstanding performance came from John Tubb and Dave MacKenzie with a massive 5&3 win. John is something of a cameo player making occasional appearances when in the UK. As such he is unbeaten in the CBL for 10 years-its a pity we cannot get him to play more often!!

Our last two matches of the season are as follows:

  • Saturday 2nd September HOME to Aldwickbury Park
  • Saturday 16th September AWAY at Chartridge Park

The big question is - can we hold our unbeaten record at home against top of the league Alwickbury Park and can we score our first away win of the season against Chartridge Park

Come on chaps!!

Stay tuned on all matters CBL - click here

CBL Team Just Pip Oakland Park in this years ‘head to head’…

We played today away at Oakland Park and lost 4:2.  Another great win for the Wagerfield brothers who are playing really well this year and delivering solid wins. Also very good to see Sean Cummins backing up his Captains Trophy and Anniversary Cup wins with a winning appearance in the league match partnering Alan Jackson who is also in a rich vein of form. All away points are hard earned and the four players have played well to secure their wins.

As we beat Oakland 4.5: 1.5 at home we nudged the head to head this year but that does nothing for league points-unfortunately!!

Next week 12th August is the match with Chesfield Downs at home where we are seeking to maintain our unbeaten home record this year.
