Brian Harrison led the way in Sunday's Stableford. Brian scored 40 pts in winning Division I from Paul Chiverton and Robert Drewery both on 39 pts, Division II saw Dep Patel's 37 pts come out on top from Stuart Stirling and Norm Wainwright who were split on count back after both scored 36 pts. Sean Briant produced the winning score of 39 pts in Division III from Colin Burton on 36 pts and Mick Carroll on 35 pts.
Mark Johnson, Ben Cottingham, Chris Rippon, Ady Bingham & Declan Morgan shared out the Two's Sweep.
It will be a busy this Easter Weekend with competitions on Friday, Sunday and Monday, please see below for details and how to enter.
Bubba Watson produced a great display of long driving accurate approach shots and solid putting to secure his Masters Green Jacket. Obviously you have to do a lot of things well to win a Major but the key to winning at Augusta is to take advantage of the Par 5's, this is certainly made easier if you have the power to bomb a drive out there at 360 plus yards, which I think is how far one of Bubba's drives went. You also have to be very consistent and that is not always a something you would associate with Watson.
Jordan Spieth also showed that he is going to be one of the top golfers over the coming years, to contend at the age of 20 years old on your Master's debut was some performance.
The back nine on Sunday is when the event often produces its most dramatic and exciting moments, that didn't really materialise this year with nobody making a charge from the following pack and in the end the tournament just meandered to the finish in the end.
All we need now is a continuation of the bright weather with a slight rise in temperatures as the Golf Season has officially started.

Grip Bar
We have installed a Grip Bar in the shop now, I am sure this will make a big difference in how you select your grips from now on, grips that are too small for the size of your hand can lead to pulled shots with over active hand action and if the grip is too large it can stifle your hand action leading to pushed or sliced shots, also if your grips are worn you will almost certainly being gripping the club too tightly, especially in the winter when there is not so much moisture in your hand. We can now measure your hand and have a full range of grips with varying amounts of tape underneath for you to try first, if your grips are the wrong size this does not necessarily mean you have to invest in new grips, if they are in good condition we can add layers of tape underneath. We are running a Special Offer at the moment, if you have your irons re-gripped we will do your woods for FREE .
Fitting Wall
Custom fitting whether it is a driver, fairway wood, hybrid or irons can make a huge difference to your performance and subsequent enjoyment of the game, if you look at our new Fitting Wall next time you are in the shop you will get a small insight into the options available in heads, lofts, lie angles and shafts etc, so why not book a fitting and see if we can improve your performance, consistency and enjoyment.
