Club Captains Report
On Saturday the 29th September we had a Haggle and the Format was Par & Count Your Putts.
We have been very lucky with the weather on our club days lately with another nice sunny day and very little wind in the forecast.
The course and the greens are looking good with the greens starting to recover from the maintenance work done last week.
You would not think so though with only one two being scored on club day or maybe some of us just need more putting practice.
Results & Voucher Winners: Robert Butler +7 ,Michael Loppy +6 , Robin Broadmore +6 ,Ivor Sarten +5 , Greg Fowler +5 , Trever Hughes +5 , Shane Weir +5 , Nathan Loppy +5 , Bryan Bellamy +5 , John Van Der Leeden +5.
The winner of the count your putts was Robert Middleton with 24 putts.
There was only one two on Saturday and that was from Nathan Loppy on the 7th . (Six Golf Balls On The Board ).
Raffle Results: Ivor Sarten x 2 , S.Voyle , Ricey x 2 , Nicole, Jo.B , David Butler , Michael Loppy , Robin.B.

PRO – TIP
Routines are very important as good ones get you past the pressure !!!
Warm up Routine : Every good golfer has his or her way of loosening up before the game.
I recommend:
1. Swinging 2 clubs together in front of the window or mirror.
2. Do your Putting Drill with the 4 tees & 5 balls.
3. Chipping next, 10 short chips with the 8 Iron, then 10 with the PW.
4. Just 20 balls, 5 with an 8 Iron, 5 with a 6 Iron, 5 with your rescue.
5. The last 5 with the club that you will use from the 1st Tee.
If it’s the “big dog” it would be good to know if it’s talking to you or “BARKING” at you !!!
You would then have an insight as to how you are playing & therefore you may want to start off with an easier club, 3 wood or rescue ??
We all want to play our best & having a good Warm Up Routine is a sure way to succeed.
Good Luck & Good Golfing
Professional John Garner.
