I don't know about all of you but I'm super excited about this week's Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods, back playing his first Tour event for 16 months at Torrey Pines in a group with Jason Day and Dustin Johnson is as exciting as a standard Tour event could ever be.
Following Tiger's troubles over the last 7 or 8 years it's easy to forget just how great he was. It's only 10 years ago that Woods won his 3rd Buick Invitational and therefore his 7th straight win in 7 starts! Can you imagine the hype that would surround something like that nowadays? The whole golf world will be watching to see if Tiger can carry on with the sort of form that he showed in the Hero last December. I hope he can!
Nearer to home, congratulations to our own Graeme Anderson on his superb hole-in-one on the 11th on Saturday which helped him to win Division 1 in the Stableford with 38 points. I'm sure that Graeme will happily talk you through his shot if you ask! Steve Hooper won Division 2 with 37 points and Charles Pritchard won Division 3 with 33 points.
Brough Golf Club near Hull is one of the few golf clubs in the North Region like ourselves who hold a ladies Pro-Am. This year the event is on Friday, 28 April and if any of you would like to play in it with me I'd love for Eaton to enter a team.
Cost is £48pp which for this lovely course offers fantastic value for money. Please let me know if you'd like to play.
The new Callaway Epic drivers and fairways that have been so successful on the world Tours are about to hit the shops. I can't wait for mine to come!
If you fancy a go with a club which has averaged 13.4 yards gain on carry distance with the staff players please come and arrange a fitting or click here.
