Welcome to another edition of the JS Golf Newsletter. What an eventful week we had at Augusta. Who would of thought that Jordan Spieth would have slipped up like that after leading the Masters for 7 straight rounds!
Luckily it was an Englishman that was on hand to take victory. Danny Willett produced a sensational final round to take his first green jacket and major of his career.
On Saturday the club hosted one of its Major competitions. The Queen Elizabeth Trophy, which is also the qualifier for the clubs summer knock-out. The par 3's must have been favourable with a huge amount of two's on the day.
1st - R. Horn - 81 -13hcp = 68
2nd - M. Aunger - 84 - 15hcp = 69

Pink Ladies enjoy Academy Day
Over the last few months, Verulam have introduced a section of ladies getting into golf for the first time, or re-visiting it after a long lay-off.
Every Tuesday and Saturday sees the ladies coming up to the club attending fun packed sessions with our PGA Professionals.
Academy Days across Hertfordshire are taking place over the Spring and Summer months, last week saw the first event at Aldwickbury with our very own Verulam Pink Ladies in the prizes!
Kathryn (Centre) & Diana (Far Right), be sure to say well done when you see them around the club!
This week's coaching success comes from an Elite Hertfordshire County player - James Clark.
James is a member of the Hertfordshire Performance squad which is coached by club professionals Glen Portelli & Laurence Allen. James has also been having indivual lessons with Glen over the winter, and the hard work paid off with his first victory of the year at the Brookmans Park Junior Open, shooting a very good gross 74 in tough conditions.
The key to James' success has been very simple. A change to his set-up has made all the difference. Even with a player of James' abillity it's still vital that his set-up is consistant and repeatable, especially under pressure.
If you look at James on the right side of the picture, his body has became too far away from the ball and was aiming too far left. This made it very difficult for james to find the middle of the clubface. The change in strike was immediate, as you can see on the left side of the picture, James is now very square to the target and looks much more athletic with his posture.
It just goes to show you that no matter what level of Golf you play, it's essential you set up to the ball correctly.
If you want to check your set up with one of our PGA Professionals, it only takes around 30 minutes, please contact us here.
