Top of the class!

Well done to Adam P who was awarded Assistant of The Year in the East Region for his academic results in Year 2 of his studies. He was presented with the award at the East Region AGM last Wednesday, which was attended to the new Chief Executive of the PGA Robert Maxfield.

Adam was delighted if not a bit surprised to win the award but it is certainly a feather in his cap and an amazing achievement. We are all very proud of him. Congratulations Adam!

CAGU Inter Club

The first CAGU Inter Club Greensomes match was played on Sunday 4th February, away at Ely. The Brampton Team was:

• Greg Wills & Colin Williams
• Lee King & James Ballentine
• Adam Longford & Steve Pinner
• John Topping & Dennis Lea
  

The Ely course was wet in places, but the greens were excellent, rolling true and quick for the time of year; some of the team found it difficult to get the pace and a number of early 3 putts meant that we fell behind in the first couple of matches. By halfway, we were down in the first 2 matches, but up in the last 2.

Unfortunately, the first 3 matches were lost, but Dennis and John battled well. All square on the last. An excellent drive by Dennis and a good solid shot just short of the green by John on this testing finishing hole set up a tremendous 1up win.

Thanks go to Ely Golf Club for the friendly nature of the match and the most welcome chilli and rice post-match refreshment. Revenge will no doubt be sweet for the return fixture on 27 May.
