A message from Dan... “Dear all, I would firstly like to inform you all that I will be sadly leaving West Hill on Saturday, 3 August. I am going to give the recruitment world a go and see how I get on, however I am mainly writing to you all to say a huge thank you to each and everyone of you for making my time here at West Hill as good as it could've been. It seems a long time ago back in October 2017 that I started here and almost two years down the line a lot has changed. I can honestly say I have met so many amazing people who I will try my best to stay in touch with for years to come. West Hill has taught me many skills, not just to use in the golfing industry but in life as well. I would like to finish again on a huge thank you for welcoming me into the West Hill family and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every moment of it. Many thanks,
Dan” I’m sure you would like to join me in thanking Dan for the excellent service and commitment he has given us with a smiling face for the last two years and wish him the best of luck in his new career choice. For the next two months my daughter, Mollie, who many of you know from working in the halfway hut, will be working full time in the Pro Shop until she starts university.

Senior Open Qualifying I played the Senior Open Qualifying at Hillside Golf Club in Southport on Monday with 138 professionals playing for 13 places. I missed the play-off by three shots, unfortunately having three three putts to miss my chance for a spot at Royal Lytham. Next year the Senior Open is at Sunningdale so fingers crossed for better luck next year.

| Rated: Garmin GPS watches |
How many times have you stood on a tee-box and wondered what yardage it is to a specific point down the fairway, such as a tree or bunker? Likewise, how helpful would it be to know how far you have between the back of the green and the pin? This is where a GPS device comes in, and here are our top three picks in 2019. |
 | Garmin Approach S10
|
All the key distance information you need without the frills in this simple and easy-to-use watch.
Our verdict – Superb budget option boasting incredible practicality and style
|
 | Garmin Approach S40
|
1.2 inch colour touchscreen that allows you to easily move the pin for more accurate yardages.
Our verdict – Our top pick for a combination of on-course info and smartwatch functionality |
 | Garmin Approach S60
|
The very best GPS golf watch with a bird's-eye view of the entire hole and a large numbers setting.
Our verdict – A premium option that offers so much tech it is actually something of a bargain |
