Hello golfers, 

Well done Danny Willett, they always say that the back nine on Sunday produces drama at the Masters, but I must say I didn't expect that! It did look to all intents and purposes that the Jordan Spieth was cruising to victory with nobody really offering a serious challenge but we all now know what happened and we have our first English Masters Champion since Sir Nick Faldo all those years ago! 

I did read a very interesting stat before the last round, both Jordan Spieth and Kevin Na had hit the same number of greens in regulation through the first three rounds, Spieth was obviously leading but Kevin Na was LAST, just goes to show how important putting is, I think we all need to spend more time working on our putting!

It wasn't a great week for World Number One Jason Day or number three Rory McIIroy, both contended at times without really having their A game, it does show their level though as both still finished tied 10th.


 

Clint Allen and Danny Phillips produced the best two scores in Saturday's Stableford both scoring an excellent 40 pts, Danny topping Division I from Wayne Gray 38 pts and Matt Deegan 36 pts, Colin Lockwood 35 pts was runner up to Clint in Division II with Andy Hunt 34 pts in third, Joe Pasqualino 37 pts topped Division III on count back after a three way tie at the top from Nigel Pearce and Pete Roberts. The Two's Sweep winners were Andy Everett, Wayne Gray, Andy Phillips, Matt Deegan, Pete Howard, Chris Waller, Steve Leonard, Paul Cooper and Pete Roberts, while Trevor Walker scooped the Bonus Ball prize.

Good luck to both Scratch Teams who start their campaigns this Saturday with both teams facing Boston GC, the A team are away with the B Team being at home, it is also the Yellow Peril this Sunday, please give the shop a call to book a tee time.
