Hello golfers,

Well this time next week we'll all be settling down to watch the first day of the US Masters and what a first Major of the year it should be with so many of the top players in form. Day's won twice, Scott's won twice, Bubba's won, Rickie's won, Jordan's won, Schwartzel's won, Rory's showing life with his putter, Phil's showing glimpses of former glories and sweet swinging Louis seems like he's over his back problems, but what we all want to know is will Tiger play? Probably not, but that doesn't stop social media going in to melt down with will he, won't he? Anyway it promises to be a fantastic tournament and to help celebrate it I'm doing a tremendous special offer...

If you buy a King Cobra driver between now and when Ricky Fowler tees off in his first round of the Masters, and he goes on to win, I will give you your money back. Wow that's right, if Ricky wins you will get a brand new Cobra driver for FREE!

And if that's not enough, if you buy any PING driver between now and when Louis Oosthuizen tees off for the first round of the Masters and he goes on to win the US Masters, I will also give you your money back. So why not book yourself a fitting today and see if you can get a brand new driver for FREE? Click here to get in touch for more details.

Fitting centre news 

New clubs for Mark...

MarkTalking of fittings one of our members, Mark Seeley, has just taken delivery of his new, fully fitted, Mizuno JPX 850 forged irons and wedges. Now Mark was a very interesting case. He's a youngster in golfing terms, swinging a 6-iron over 90 mph and carrying it over 180 yards, but he was wondering why he was hitting it very very high and inconsistent with his distances. One minute he would carry his 6-iron 160 yards the next would carry 190 yards, which makes golf very difficult. The problem was Mark had regular shafts in his old irons which clearly didn't suit his swing. As soon as we handed him a stiffer shafted iron, he went for the Project X 6.0 shafts in the end, his ball flight lowered and he was all of a sudden able to hit his 6-iron a consistent distance. Now I'm not really a betting man but I wouldn't mind a wager on Mark producing some really good scores soon and that handicap will come tumbling down as his old equipment was really holding his game back. We'll wait and see. Good luck Mark, no pressure but don't let me down!

Competition news 

Thursday Stableford

Next up we have competition news and we'll start with last week's Thursday Stableford. There was some amazing scores including a great effort from Dave Henwood and Simon Hellary who both scored 39 points. Dave Henwood won on the countback. In third place was Rob Allen with 37 points which also is a great score, he must be putting in his practice from the lessons he has been having.

Easter Mixed Foursomes

On Good Friday we had the Easter Mixed Foursomes which was won by Penny and Paul Platten with an amazing 45 points. Gail Chapman and Bob Cooper came second with a superb 41 points and Marian Anderson and Andy Elliot came third with 38 points.

The Arthur Fell Cup

On Sunday we had The Arthur Fell Cup which is a bogey competition. The conditions were unfavourable with a strong wind, but this didn't affect the scoring with Jamie Gough beating the course four up, which was a great score on the day. In second place was Ian Root, winning two up and beating Jim Robinson on countback who came in third.

Unfortunately do to Storm Katie, Monday's competition was blown away and had to be cancelled.

Pros news 

My golfing week...

I've got a busy couple of days playing golf ahead. In a minute I'm off to Royal Worlighton in Mildenhall, generally considered the best 9 hole course in the country, to play a Suffolk PGA event and tomorrow I'm off to Swaffham to play in the latest Norfolk PGA Pro-Am. I'll let you know how I get on next week.
