£1,350 raised for charity
The Crystal Mays was once again a great success with the weather shining on the day also. These wouldn't be the success they are without the tremendous amount of hard work that goes in leading up to the event as well as on the day, so a big thanks to Terry Kavanagh and everybody that helped out and donated on the day, the green staff for presenting the course in excellent condition and a special big thank you to Terry Hawkins and Fenland Fire Appliances LLP who's support for this day is fantastic. A full list of the prize winners is on display in the Members Bar.
The Captain's chosen Charities Magpas, Motor Neurone Disease (Stuart Broad Appeal) & Hospital at Home will share £1350.00 in total which is a tremendous effort by all involved.

The Two's Sweep winners were Keith Manning, Paul Rawlings, Ben Clarke, Barry Jones & Pat Bloom with Merv Bloom winning the Bonus Ball Draw.

It was great to see Rory McIIroy get back to winning ways in the Irish Open, especially as he was hosting the event and all of his winnings were donated to the Foundation as well, the two shots into the Par 5s 16 and 18 were pretty impressive, especially in the situation and with the fact winning the event meant so much to him.
Rob Cottingham, Ian Fane, Giovanni Rizzo and Jay Willis are going to play 72 Holes on 3rd June, they are going to complete this challenge to raise money for an amazingly brave 8 year old called Rico who is fighting bacterial meningitis, he has lost his right foot and all the toes, his heel and part of the outside of his left foot. Rico needs an electric wheelchair which will last him for life as it can be adapted as he grows, there is also a Charity Day at the Fenman in Stanground on the same day, please contact Crissy Wright via Facebook or click here to donate JustGiving.
We want to help you enjoy better golf, which is why we've teamed up with Wilson Staff and PING to offer you the Complete Equipment Solution. How does a free custom fitting and free lesson sound?
It's so important for golfers of all abilities - particularly amateurs, who have far more to gain - to get custom fitted, as opposed to leaving it to chance, like you'd be doing if you bought standard spec clubs straight off the shelf. Read on for full terms and conditions, and speak to the team when you're next in.

A new wedge can make a big difference to the amount of spin that you generate on your shots around the green, whether it is full or partial shots this will improve your control around the greens and subsequently your scoring, over a period of time the grooves on your wedges will inevitably have lost their bite, we offer a full custom fit service on wedges also and it is incredibly important to get the correct bounce to suit your technique, if you have the wrong bounce this will definitely effect your consistency of strike especially on tight lies. We are running a promotion in conjunction with Cleveland where if you buy One Wedge you can buy another at 50% off, so why not book a fitting or take out a Demo next time you visit the club.
