Hello golfers,

Welcome to our newsletter, in this week mail we recap on the season opener from Hawaii, DJ leans on one, we talk Rickie Fowler fashion, we round up our recent draw results, and there is still time to take advantage of our sale. Enjoy the read!

DJ lent on one!

Dustin Johnson has already thrown down the gauntlet for 2018. The big American made short work of the Kapalua plantation course in the year opener for the Tournament of Champions event last week by beating world No 4 Jon Rahm by just the 8 shots. Johnson played impeccably with 66 and 65 at the weekendand in Saturdays third round, he even drove a par 4 green just 398 yards away and just missing the flag stick being attended by the groups caddie.

Remember last year when he looked all but unbeatable going into the Masters, red hot favourite and he then he fell down the staircase 3 days before the start which put him out of the event and impeded his summer? Seems like he is back to his formidable best. Plenty of the world’s top players were in attendance and DJ made them look very ordinary.

Are you for it or against it?

The Rickie Fowler Hawaiian look? On the first day of the event in Hawaii, Rickie played with his specially shirt hanging outside his trousers. I`m sure it’s OK to "hang 10" with the shirt thing spectating and the Ladies Tour have no problem with it but is it suitable for the Men`s Tour? Perhaps he should have gone all the way and had a cap made of Hawaiian flowers too! Is this still one of golfs taboos, the shirt out when playing?

Let me know your thoughts on it here.

Oprah Winfrey for President?

Other news coming out of America, Oprah Winfrey for President? The first lady of TV with the 2 Billion dollar fortune is being sensationally talked about as a future First Lady of America! American style politics has barely changed but the idea of a celebrity leader seems to be their way forward for now. At least Oprah would have the "backing" of the people with no fake news or bizarre tweets coming out of the White house if she does go onto to lead.

Tony`s off to Surrey...

The Orsett Christmas draw was spread amongst the members thanks to the ladies in the bar who recently drew out the tickets. This year’s winner and off for a spectacular day at one of the famous Surrey "W" courses, West Hill, is Tony Dean.

He will be taking along three friends to enjoy the course and spend some time in clubhouse over lunch to go with it. The course design is like a mini Wentworth/Sunningdale with fairways lined with Scotch pine trees and sandy soil along with plenty of heather! Not long by modern standards yet more than a challenge and always a pleasure to play. Enjoy your day out Tony!
