Hello golfers, is it the start of the golfing season or are we getting ahead of ourselves with the recent warm weather?
This week we welcomed our new assistant Stu Entwistle, Stu is currently finishing up his year at Lee Westwood Golf school at Stoke-by-Nayland in Essex.
Stu will be with us from Thursdays till Sundays until his schooling is complete, then will be with us full time. Stu can offer us a wide range of skills, he has recently finished training with PING i-fit and he is a qualified PING club fitter. He also possesses a wide range of knowledge in finding the correct equipment to help with your game.
Stu is getting familiar with the members, so please come in and introduce yourself to him as he is eager to meet all the faces at Brampton Park.
Daily Mail Foursomes
John Topping and Kevin Cartlidge played their first round of the Daily Mail Foursomes on Saturday against a very strong St Neots pair. It was a nip and tuck affair with only four holes halved during the round and all level after 18. St Neots conceded on the 19th hole and John and Kevin now progress to the next round in April against another regional team.
