That`s what friends are for
Last August, Club member Steve Terry, collapsed on the first fairway and was revived back to life by playing partners Richard Parker and Ron Davey.
Thanks to them, Steve is now back to full health and playing regularly again. This week Richard and Ron were recognised for their incredible feat by the Humane Society for saving Steve's life. They were presented with their certificates of acknowledgement by Club Captain, Kevin Lyons. Congratulations gentlemen, thoroughly deserved. |

Scrutton Cup
The Scrutton Cup proved to be a battle of the mind and body Sunday as the April weather left us with cold, damp conditions and a long soft course to challenge the field. Winner of the Trophy was Luke Quinton playing off 12 handicap, covering the front nine in just 37 blows , the 21 year old, "had a few shots in the pocket" for the back nine and notoriously difficult Orsett finish. With a back nine of 42, Luke headed the field by a margin of three. A great round in very difficult conditions. He is now playing off 11.
Alongside this trophy the annual Lombard Trophy Qualifier was being held. Luke decided not to enter so the lucky recipient of the chance to go to Portugal, courtesy of Lombard, via Walton Heath was Scrutton runner up, last year’s Captain Andy Lee. It’s said that the Captain in office, struggles to play consistently and it is literally a "curse" to their game.
With this runner up and Lombard success, Andy believes he has dis guarded the curse, although he may have had other thoughts walking onto the second tee after making a NINE on the first!
Andy finished with a nett 70 and is already making plans for a practice round at Walton Heath with me. Runner up and first reserve in the Lombard, is Jason Spink(71) who I`m sure is wishing Andy as leading qualifier, well. Although, I might not accept any sort of dinner invitation from Spinky the night before qualifying, just to play safe.

New arrivals and offers
The personalised ball offer from Titleist has come to a close for 2018 .Many thanks to all those who took the opportunity to get the extra balls, deliveries are slightly behind due to the incredible demand at the Company.
We have taken delivery of a new cart bag range. They are called OWL bags, supplied by Lynx, they are completely waterproof and extremely colourful. The price is very keen too. Come and see for yourself what a great bag Lynx have designed. |
How does a FREE custom fitting and FREE lesson sound?
It's so important for golfers of all abilities - particularly amateurs, who have far more to gain - to get custom fitted, as opposed to leaving it to chance, like you'd be doing if you bought standard spec clubs straight off the shelf. You really have nothing to lose. We will help you to get the most out of any new equipment through a thorough custom fitting process before you buy, followed by a lesson to see you on your way. Come and speak to us in-store if you're interested, but remember this offer is only available until Sunday, 1 July. This offer runs for Callaway, Lynx, Mizuno, PING and Titleist equipment.
