Welcome to this week's newsletter, we have some exciting news and deals lined up below so have a read and hopefully we can entice you in to the shop for the friendliest and most helpful golf shopping experience around!
Foremost Head Pro's Championship
On Monday I played in the Foremost Head Professionals Championship at The Oxfordshire. Unfortunately the weather was horrendous, and if you have ever played The Oxfordshire then you will know it's not the place to be when the rain is pouring on you!
Despite this, I managed to hit a pretty decent score to finish in a tie for 8th place, so pretty happy with that performance!
Hertfordshire Open 2015, Laurence goes close!
On Thursday, 14 May The Herts Open was at Dyrham Park G&CC with all the top amateurs off 4 & below along with the Hertfordshire based PGA Professionals.
After a long day of 36 holes where the rain did not stop, Laurence shot a 74 in the morning which left him in 3rd position, and followed this with another 74 to push him up to 2nd. The winner was James Jankowski who finished 2 shots ahead.
Also well done to Dave Dobinson who finished in 10th place.
PGA Coaching Exams, Glen has passed!
Last week saw our very own Glen Portelli finish off his PGA qualification by passing his coaching and custom fitting exams.
After 3 years of dedication, Glen will now be fully qualified with the world at his feet and let his golf now do the talking!
If you are interested in booking a lesson or fitting with Glen, or with any member of our PGA Professional team, please click here to get in touch, or pay us a visit in the pro shop.
