Titleist Trial Day Here at Brampton
Last Wednesday we had a Titleist Trial Day here at Brampton. This was a chance for everyone to come and try the New: Titleist woods, irons and wedges. We had a full fitting schedule and it was good to watch the fitter Lewis help people to the correct specs we learnt a lot (which we can now use in our fittings).
Titleist were the first this year but keep your eyes on the newsletter as we have a FootJoy shoe fitting day here next Wednesday 6th May followed by a Callaway Fitting Day on the Wednesday 13th May. Please give us a call to book your appointment or to register you interest. Or alternatively click here to get in touch.
Group Coaching
Throughout April we have been running some group sessions for the ladies and seniors. These have been very well attended and hopefully have helped improve all areas of their games.
Thank you very much too all that attended and good luck with your golf through the season.
As we enter May we enter National Golf Month here at Brampton we are putting on some events, to not only encourage new golfers to the game but also entice those that have stopped playing.

April Update
The Easter weekend was a lovely weekend with a lot of competitions on. All seemed fairly well subscribed.
Adam & Eve passed off well. The usual sit down meal was replaced with a gourmet BBQ cooked by Captain Chris Cuthbert. It was very well organised and those that partook seemed to enjoy.
The Major is sponsored by Debbie and Nick Wastling who presented the lovely Crystal prizes.
1st with 43 points were Steve and Sally Palmer.
2nd with 42 points were Ray and Julie Miller
The Ladies Coronation Foursomes was contested with the results being:
1st - Fay Allison and Cath Emery with 37 points
2nd - Kay Osborne and Ann Norman with 35 points
3rd - Yvonee Palfrey and Anne Gibb with 30 points.
This sees Fay and Cath go through to the regional finals.
We also had a mixed match versus Elton Furze. We fielded 8 pairs which is a good number but unfortunately we couldn't win all the games and ended up losing 5 -3. The wind must have been a factor in our loss as it was blowing a gale!
County Coaching
We held our first County Juniors Coaching session here at Brampton on Saturday. Darren Scholes and I are the coaches to the Futures squad. These are the lads who are knocking on the door for county selection and our role is to help them take their golf to the next level.
We had a fantastic afternoon with the skills challenges and work on both their swings and short game. We both very much look forward to the summer sessions.
