If you thought the BMW was close, read on...

Orsett's Captains day hosted by Gordon Irving was one to remember and not just because of COVID 19. Over 120 played in the annual event, held on a perfect Sunday that brightened up as the day unfolded. In the better ball format, scoring low would be the order of the day.

Ss the day went on the scores started to sneak up and for a while, 43 points was looking like a good effort. Once all scores were in cards needed to be checked and rechecked but in the end, the leading score of 47 points was enough....just 1 point covered the prize positions!.

Winners were Mark McGregor and Mike Titcombe due to a better back nine of 26 pts over

2nd place Mark Sturges and his partner, Barry Manilow "Lookalike", Chris Thorogood.

3rd place went to Rob Coston and Keith Abbott on 46 again with a great back nine of 25 over

4th place Kwai Hau and Chris Rate

Nearest the par 3 flags

3rd - Colin Hodges

8th - Martin Mahoney

12th - Nigel Occleshaw

15th - Rob Coston

This weekend is "Big Guns" weekend with the Scratch Championship taking part. Scoring will need to be low as for the first time the event

Orsett members shine in Essex Amateur Championship..

Orsett were well represented at the recent Essex Amateur Championship, with 8 players taking part. With County events scuppered by this year's events, many players targeted this as something to play in. Usually over 72 holes in a weekend, County changed to 36 holes in one day.

After the first round, Orsett was looking good with Callum Newton leading on 69, Zach Chegwidden on 71 and Jamie Benton on 72. Things changed slightly in the afternoon with Callum putting together a competent second round of 74, Jamie didn`t quite match his round from the morning and wasn't helped by THE biggest "Flyer" on his ninth,the 18th which comfortably sailed over the green, clubhouse and finished in the bushes in the car park beyond. which left Zach to try and edge past the posted score of 3 under total.

He didn`t quite win, but scored 70 and finished tied 2nd at 3 under as last years winner shot a brilliant second round 66 and edged past them to take the title from what looked like a probable playoff.

Great effort boys a tied second and fourth place is good golfing.

Golf on Tour

Top two showdown

What better way to finish a PGA Tour event than a shoot-out between the world’s top two players?

Dustin Johnson, World No. 1, needed to nail a winding 43-foot putt over a ridge on the final hole to force a playoff… And he did. The putt lasted an incredible 10 seconds.

World No. 2 Jon Rahm must’ve felt sick heading out for the first playoff hole. If he did, he hid it well. The Spaniard made DJ’s miracle putt look mediocre as he sunk one from 66-feet for victory. That’s what I call pinch-yourself golf!

DJ showed he had plenty of patience on a course that played more US Open than BMW Championship. This week in Atlanta could be another head to head if DJ isn't too tired, as the rest of the star-studded field just doesn't seem to be able to put four rounds together. Both Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka are struggling to find their form, Rory is all about 1st baby arrival any time soon and could leave the course in mid-round. Bryson maybe? So who else could challenge these two? Personally I look towards the likes of Webb Simpson and Tony Finau. Finau is due isn`t he and must have a hot streak with his putter sooner or later surely?

With the next major only a few weeks away and Winged Foot one of the toughest challenges in America, DJ looks really good odds again at 14/1. Bet against him at your peril.

Pairing you with your perfect irons

We mentioned last week that you may want one or two hybrids to replace your longer irons because they’re more forgiving. This week, we’re putting irons under the microscope. Ask yourself: How do they slot into my full set of clubs?

Callaway Big Bertha B21 Irons

You need to be sure that there are no big gaps between your hybrids and irons, as well as your irons and wedges. You want a smooth transition through your bag, with clubs that can get the most out of your game and not punish mishits too much.

Callaway’s brand-new Big Bertha B21 irons are the irons when it comes to forgiveness. With a wide sole and increased offset, it’s so easy to feel confident standing over the ball. The A.I. engineered Flash Face Cup and new Visible Tungsten Energy Core combine for easy launch, faster ball speeds and incredible forgiveness!
