Summer is really here with the forecast for 22 degrees today and 24 degrees and sunny tomorrow afternoon. The course is looking beautiful with all the Rhododendrons in full bloom and the greens are fantastic. The new practice range is also being well used and every member who has used it so far has come back with a huge smile saying how fantastic it is. There are lots of members who have still to claim their free bucket of balls so why not come and give it a try this weekend.

James Thomlinson came to the Titleist fitting day on the official range opening day. After careful testing on the Flightscope he discovered that the new Titleist 915 driver reduced his backspin rate by about 1000rpm which gave him a far more penetrating ball flight and immediately an extra 19 yards of distance!!! He also got fitted for a hybrid finding a club to fit the yardage gap between his fairway wood and irons.

SPECIAL OFFER - we have a TaylorMade Fitting Day on Monday 29 June from 4pm to 8pm. ANYONE PURCHASING A SET OF 7 IRONS THAT DAY WILL BE ENTITLED TO A WEDGE OR A NEW BAG AT HALF PRICE. I will also be there in The Swing Studio if you wish to compare to the Titleist, Mizuno and Tour Edge products on the day.

Stuart Kerr asked me for a quick brush up lesson on Saturday morning before his game and he was struggling with his ball striking. We changed one simple thing to help him attack the ball better and he then proceeded to get a hole in one on the thirteenth with a perfect shot - congratulations Stuart!!!

Kevin Young also had a hole in one this week playing at Desert Springs in Spain with Paul Prentice on the 140 yard 17th into a very strong wind!!!! Well done Kevin.

Congratulations to our Captain, Andrew Smith, on a fantastic Captain's Day last Sunday. His Charity Challenge on the 12th hole was a great success and raised £600 for CHASE. The weather was beautiful, the course magnificent, and Brenden's buffet lunch a real treat for the competitors. There was also plenty of fun and banter at lunchtime as we replayed members' swings on the big screen which we had filmed whilst they were playing the Beat The Pro Challenge. Members will be very pleased to hear that the professional gave out £530 of free shop vouchers in the challenge taking on me on the 4th and Greg on the 13th.

Congratulations to all the winners on the day as pictured below.
