Good afternoon all,
Another week of boiling weather, at least we can't moan this year that we haven't had a summer! In this weeks issue are the results of my pros day, a fine performance from some of the artisans, exam results from the pro shop and Captain/Pro results.
Professional's Golf Day
After a week of glorious weather, I was somewhat disappointed to see it raining on Saturday for my first Pro's day, fortunately the clap of thunder at 9am was short lived and we stayed dry with even a bit of sunshine!
A fantastic entry of 155 players saw George Peniston lead after the morning players with 36 points, surprisingly as the wind picked up in the afternoon, the scores improved and the leaderboard finished as follows:
- Kieran Bowry - Skycaddie SGX
- Ed McCoy (below, left) - Callaway Stand bag
- David Slaney (below, right) - FJ Sport shoes
- Nigel Taylor - Mizuno wedge
- Kate Hayward - Tommy Hilfiger Sweater
- John Lincoln - Mizuno Holdall
- Ben Church - FJ Chill out top
- George Peniston - FJ Shirt
Other prizes:
Blind nine - Ian Gough - LPGC Sleeveless sweater
Putting Competition - Chris Gimson - Callaway Balls
Straightest Drive (Men) - Kieran Vincent -FJ Shirt
Straightest Drive (Ladies) - Kate Hayward - LPGC Sleeveless shirt
Nearest the Pin 5th - John Flesher, 10th Steve Butler, 13th Paul Connell, 18th Ian Betts
This was then followed by a trick shot and long drive show by Paul Barrington, who I can only describe as world class.He not only produced some amazing shots (one of which went nearly 400 yards) but also put on a great show, which I'm sure everyone enjoyed.
A big thank you to Yonex for their help in arranging this for me.
DON'T FORGET!
Yonex demo day on Friday 15th August from 10am - 2pm, appointments available in the Pro shop or email me at paul.sherman@foremostgolf.com
