Congratulations and commiserations to Antony Senior. Playing in the Black tees/Lombard medal on Saturday, Antony shot a fantastic nett 72 when the CSS went up to 76 due to the difficulty of the course. This resulted in his handicap reducing down to 16.0 having started the year on 20! Antony has been having regular lessons with Steve and is clearly reaping the rewards.
Unfortunately Antony didn't enter the Lombard part of Saturday's medal, citing that he thought the black course was too long for him, so he misses out on a trip to the wonderful Formby Golf Club in July with me in the regional pro-am.
John Clark is the beneficiary of this small lack of confidence, having shot a marvellous nett 73. On a personal note, I must add that Cameron Tye had the best gross of 74 nett 73 which brought his handicap down to 0.7, and that following playing a competition last night he has become the latest Eaton member to come down to scratch.
A number of you have expressed an interest in the trip to Augusta to watch next year's Masters with me and play some golf at Kiawah island. These trips can start as low as £2295 for a 3 day trip, playing no golf and watching the practise days. I can arrange whatever you wish, and I will shortly be sending out further details of the package that I mentioned previously.
Jen Russell who went to this year's event recently has said to me since her return that it was "one of the best experiences of her life".
If you haven't been to the club in the last couple of weeks you will be amazed at how fantastically it is playing.
Throughout the winter the tees, fairways and greens have been in wonderful condition, so it's great to see the rest of the course catching up.
Let's hope we have a great summer.
