First of all I would like to say a well done to Maurice and Carol Hume who won the Presidents Jubilee by 5 shots from Tim Bateson and Jacki Gauntley, we forgot to mention them at the time so apologies for that one.
Another well done to Maurice and to his partner Barry Dawson who won Saturday's greenstaff competition with a great score of 44 points winning by another big margin. F Brown and G Lund won Division 2, and D Oswin and P Rudd won the mixed division. Well done to you all.
Unfortunately the turn out in the evening for the presentation was really poor which put a bit of a downer on the day, but again well done to all prize winners.
As you can imagine not much happened at the club on Sunday as we had a complete wash out in the morning, the course will benefit from the rain though I'm sure.
The ladies results this week were as follows
Division 1 - Sally Walker - 88 14 74
Division 2 - Victoria Orr - 93 22 71
Division 3 - Paddy Hawtin - 112 34 78
And the winner of the Granny's bowl was Marion Finch with 45 10 35
Next weekend it's the Team Am/Am competition and on Sunday it's the Charity open which is a shotgun start in the afternoon at 1:30pm so bear this in mind if you are playing that day.
The Seniors are at home to Newark on Monday after their draw with Beeston Fields at home last week. Also on Monday the scratch team are away at Chilwell so best of luck to both teams.
On Wednesday it's the Stanton Junior open so best of luck to all the Stanton Juniors playing.

Mizuno MP54 irons - Part ex
We have just taken in on part ex a superb set of Mizuno MP54 irons. The set make up is 4-p/w with KBS stiff shafts. The irons have had very little use and are in mint condition. Purchased new you would pay over £600, but these are available at a fraction of that, again call in or give us a call if you're interested.
Whether you realise it or not, your brain is actually designed to help you strike putts the correct distance.
Or at least a part of it is. It's called the cerebellum, and one of its tasks is to convert data from your senses into appropriate movement. Every time you put a key into a lock or lob waste paper into a bin, your motion is governed by the cerebellum reacting to the information it's fed by your eyes.
Usually, we trust ourselves to carry out the task. Except when it comes to long-range putting. For some reason, on the green we suddenly decide that only technical perfection can create a successful outcome.
Technical thoughts thwart your natural ability to gauge distances and apply the right force. So to improve your touch putting, trust your eyes see the distance, and your brain to interpret that as force. There are drills that promote this; and of course, we'd be delighted to share them with you. Click here to request a lesson.
