Members Notice
New Managing Secretary Announcement
On behalf of the Members I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our new Managing Secretary Gordon Simpson who takes up his post from Wednesday, 1 June.
Fraser McCluskey has very kindly agreed to work with Gordon until Friday, 3 June to allow a smooth handover. Fraser delayed his retirement by 3 months to provide management continuity whilst Gordon worked his notice period, and the Club are very grateful to him for his support. He leaves with our very best wishes for a long, happy and productive retirement.
Bobby Robertson Captain
Wood a winner at Wentworth
Has a nice ring to it doesn't it, especially for a certain young man from Bristol?
All the talk ahead of the European Tour's flagship event had been pretty negative, with a whole host of top names dropping out of the BMW PGA Championship for one reason or another. There was no Henrik Stenson, Rory McIlroy or Justin Rose, to name but a few, but we were treated to quite some finale, with Chris Wood coming from off the pace to claim the most significant tournament of his career.
'Woody' gave his own masterclass on ball-striking as he went out in a record-equalling 29 shots at Wentworth - and despite wobbling on the back nine, the 28-year-old held on to win by one stroke from Rikard Karlberg.
The win earned Wood £833,330 and put him into Ryder Cup contention, not a bad week's work.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Jordan Spieth fired a final-round 65 to win the Colonial National Invitational by three shots.
This now means that the top three players in the world, Jason Day, Spieth and McIlroy, go into this week's Memorial tournament having won their last events.
Looking ahead though, how nicely is the US Open at Oakmont shaping up? Lots to look forward to…
This weeks Titleist demo day is fully booked, however please click here in case any cancellations come up at the last minute.
Member Information
This Sunday sees the first of our many Open's and the men's scratch events. Played over 36 holes we are sure to see some good scores from the assembled field. With a first tee time start of 7.30am there will be no opportunity for members to play before the field gets away, as the green staff need an opportunity to get on with their preparations on the course.
Lesson availability
I have some spaces for coaching this Friday and Sunday if anyone is in need of any help. Click here to get in touch or call the shop on 01337 830725.
