Fourteen years and counting… This week is my 14th anniversary as Club Professional at West Hill. We are all very privileged to be associated with such a wonderful club and my mission is always to provide you with the best possible service whilst trying to help you make this amazing yet infuriating game as fun as possible! With only one week until the clocks spring forward and three weeks until The Masters, I’m running out of newsletters to inform you of all the exciting new products in the shop. And with Rory McIlroy’s fantastic win at The Players Championship, I can’t wait for The Masters!

The Masters Sweepstake… Instead of selling all 96 players in the Masters (including the no hopers), we are selling the top 50 world ranked players twice. The first draw is already sold out, so if you would like to join in the fun for a chance to win £250, £125, £75 or £50 in pro shop vouchers and have your name on The Masters Leaderboard in the clubhouse, then buy a player in the shop this weekend.

Captain & Pro Challenge Last Friday we had our 11th Captain & Pro Challenge in The Race to Portugal in 30mph winds against Alistair Wooster and Mark Davies. Alistair was kindly standing in for Mike Coulson who unfortunately has back problems again - good luck with the rehab Mike! We had a great topsy-turvy game with the Captain holing a crucial putt on the 11th for a half to remain one down, which set us up for a charge to eventually win by 2 holes. We have now won 6.5 and lost 4.5. Tomorrow we play The Silver Foxes - Warwick Taylor & Kevin Parrington and then Gavin Cookman & Julien Payne on Sunday. We have one spare date due to injury so if any pair would like to challenge us on Sunday 14th April the please click here.

With the return of more golf-friendly weather and the Masters just around the corner, the season is edging ever closer to getting underway. So, with that in mind, let us ask you a question: What are you doing differently to ensure 2019 is a better year on the course than 2018 was? |
