Steve Dewhurst is leaving us...
Having been here for over 2 years I'm sad to say that Steve is leaving to pursue some new challenges with immediate effect. As all of you who had dealings with Steve will know, he's a lovely guy who will be greatly missed. He thanks you all, members, staff and myself for, and I quote "a wonderful time spent at Eaton".
The time is now right for Steve to assist with his wife's successful business and to also consider the prospect of employment outside of golf. I'm sure all of you will join me in wishing Steve well with whatever it is he enjoys next.
For any of you who had courses of lessons booked in with Steve, I have said that I will either honour the remaining ones or deliver them myself, or I will sort a refund.
I will also be taking over the junior group lessons on Sunday mornings with the assistance of our volunteer coaches.
Girls Golf Rocks!
We had a lovely group of girls aged between 8 and 16 along last Saturday afternoon for our Girls Golf Rocks taster session. This is being followed up with 10 weeks of 1 hour group lessons and a skills competition for us and the other 3 Cheshire clubs running the tasters.
We have around 20 girls signed up so it promises to be a very busy time.
Thanks to Steve and Graham Roberts for your help on the day.
Have you got Ryder Cup Fever?
Personally, I can't wait for the first tee tomorrow afternoon. USA are once again favourites, but Team Europe are looking for an unprecedented 4th successive win.
Being a Yorkshireman I'm looking to my boys to deliver, with young Matt Fitzpatrick scoring the winning point?

Goodbye to 'The King'
Arnold Palmer sadly passed away but his legacy as a true icon of the game will certainly live on. Labelled as the first real superstar of the game, it is said that 'The King' transcended the game of golf.
Palmer became the first major US superstar and went on to win seven Majors, including four Masters titles - and his rivalry with the 'Big Three' dominated golf.
Tributes have poured in, from players past and present, as well as from the US President.
Jack Nicklaus said: "He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. Arnold was someone who was a pioneer in his sport. He was the king of our sport and always will be."
