Micky and Con do it again
Micky Burch & Con Lindgren defended their Summer Doubles Knockout crown with victory on Sunday over Terry and Jonathan Hawkins. Paul Day is the Singles Knockout Champion after a very close victory on the first extra hole over Eddie Gachette.
The Singles Knockout Trophy was donated by Derek Sly who very sadly passed away last week, Derek was a founder member of the Thorney Lakes GC and a great supporter of all competitions and represented the club many times in all levels of team matches, we also played many Pro Am's together, I will never forget the time when we were playing at Sleaford GC and I turned around to see him doing press ups in the middle of the fairway!! his funeral will be held at Thorney Abbey on Friday 30th September at 11.30am with bright colours requested.
Our deepest sympathies also go out to Keith Manning and his Family for the tragic loss of their daughter Annabelle, our thoughts are with you all.

Summer Knockout Finals
Singles Plate Final - Wayne Gray v Ian Weller
I am sure a lot of you will have heard that Nike will no longer be making Golf Clubs, Balls or Bags from the end of this season, this is has been a big shock especially as we have done very well with the Clubs over the last few years and the new range of Golf Balls are excellent. The clubs perform very well and market share in the UK in Europe has been growing but we are a small area in relation to America and the rest of the World. I must stress that good product doesn't become bad product overnight but inevitably it will be perceived differently,
I am sure there will be some price reductions, but custom fit will still be available also at a lower price and all warranties will still stand going forward.
I will certainly still be using all of my equipment, so it actually a great time to get some great performing equipment at a great price.
Nike's core business in every other sport is Shoes and Clothing and this will continue to be the case in Golf with some very exciting and innovative products coming for next year.
COBRA GOLF - COMING SOON
I am excited to announce that we will be stocking Cobra Golf Clubs from the end of September, myself and Nick have been testing this range over the last few weeks and we believe Cobra offers a great choice of excellent performing products to suit a very broad cross section of golfers. We strongly believe in making sure that all products are well fitted to your exact requirements so we will have a full range of Demo equipment available from launch date.
NEW Cleveland RTX-3 Wedges
The new Cleveland RTX-3 Wedge Fitting Cart has now arrived in the Pro Shop, so we have a range of Demos available from 48 Degrees thorough to 60 Degrees with various grinds to suit your particular requirements for bounce. This all new wedge has a range of new features to improve on what was already an excellent wedge. Cleveland have shortened the hosel which has enabled more weight to be moved towards the toe of the club making for a more centred CG, which will offer more head stability on off centre hits, tighten dispersion and help distance control, the variety of grinds available allows us to tailor your wedges to your particular swing characteristics depending on whether you have shallow angle of attack or are a bit steeper, the already fantastic Rotex face on the previous model has been improved again offering even more spin through deeper narrower U shape grooves, micro laser milling which roughens the face to the maximum conforming limit. A new set of correctly fitted and gapped wedges can make an amazing difference to your short game, so why not book a fitting or give one a try?

Video of the week | It's not long now until the chest thumping and fist pumping starts, and in the build up to this year's Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, a few of the players have been busy slapping on a bit of face paint. Time to book your place in front of the TV, or down the club, and watch all the action on Sky Sports. |
