Coming up in the Pro Shop...
Ok we'll start this week with a bit of shop news and a couple of dates for the diary. Firstly we have a Wilson Staff Fitting Day coming up on Wednesday, 8 June from 1pm - 5pm and the second will be the Cobra Fitting Day coming up on Wednesday, 6 July from 1pm - 5pm. This will be a great opportunity for you to try all the Wilson and Cobra equipment and the great advantages with these fitting days is that each fitter will bring with them a far greater selection of shafts than I can stock. After all, it is the shaft that has the most influence on your ball flight in regards to equipment.
If anyone would like to book a 30 minute slot for either day, then please contact me here.
US Open Sweepstake
In other shop news, the US Open is fast approaching starting on Thursday, 16 June, and as usual we have our pro shop sweepstake. If you would like to invest £2 in a square you will stand a chance to win over £100 on to your pro shop account if the player you draw wins the US Open!

On the Course...
Ok now on to competition news and we'll start with a win for Ed Ogles and June Elliott in the Spring Mixed Open played last Saturday. I'm really pleased for both of them as both have had lessons in the last few weeks and both have said how much it has helped them rediscover their games. Ed in particular has had plenty of lessons over the last few months, he is on the unlimited lesson package, but was finding it difficult to transfer his good form on the range to the course. So last Wednesday we had a nine hole playing lesson and spoke about committing to every shot and to try and steer the ball around which obviously did the trick, well played Ed and June!
Ok next we'll move on to the Ladies Cancer Relief and Divisional Stableford on Wednesday, 18 May. Division One was won by Jayne Standen with 37 points. Division Two was won by Sheena Emrick with 36 points and Division Three was won by Terri Wilkinson with 37 points.
In last Thursday's Men's Mid-week Stableford, Bob Richardson won Division One with 38 points and Micheal Blackham won Division Two with an impressive 43 points!
On Sunday the men had their latest Monthly Medal in which Ben Leuty beat Eddie Reid on countback to win Division One, both with 34 points. In Division Two Dave Wooden won with 40 points and in Division Three Martin Bullen beat Leon Sears on countback to win, both with 40 points.
Ok I'm off on holiday for a week from Saturday so Oli is in charge next week and I'm sure he'll look after you with all your shop needs as he always does. As I'm away next week I'd like to wish the Men's Hambro team good luck with their first round match on Sunday and the ladies Cranworth team good luck with their match next week!
