President’s Weekend Congratulations to our President John Parker and his lovely family. They delivered super hospitality over the weekend for our 3rd major event. Many of you will know that Johns daughter recently married our Captains son so a huge congratulations to them and both families. Onto the golf, 2 rounds with an 18 hole cut and the leaders going out last on Sunday and wonderful prizes. These are the best ones! On Saturday evening, about 8.30pm I received a text form Kris Birdsall saying look on Masterscoreboard in 10 minutes. |

I teach Kris, and only recently had to re tune him the driver as he couldn’t get off the tee. It is great to see anyone shoot a wonderful score but it does feel a little better when you know you’ve played a part in their journey to success. 60 nett was the score, and in a major too! 73 gross off 13 handicap is a wonderful knock, well deserved and Kris, I am delighted for you. However its was only half time as they say! Kris managed to get over the line on Sunday but some strong golf from Anthony Holden who birdied 2 of the last 3 for a 69 gross made for a tense finish. Congratulations to all prize winners. Kris celebrated his win by whisking his very undrstanding wife away on holiday!! |

Motocaddy M-Series taking the market by storm In my 22 years as pro at PGC, this is by far the best bit of technology that I have seen introduced into the electric trolley market. This trolley takes under 3 seconds from fold down to up. We have a demo model in store and would only be too happy to show you this fantastic bit of kit. 3 model options with various features for you to choose from. One of the main reasons a golfer would select this trolley is for low weight and upper space saving. Click here and get in touch if you are interested and would like to learn more. |
Hat-trick for Koepka What a few years the big-hitting American is having. Since making his debut in the 2016 Ryder Cup, where he won three out of a possible four points, Brooks has secured three Major championships, including back-to-back U.S. Opens and last week’s PGA Championship. Koepka took a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round and couldn’t have dreamt for a better start; booming a 325-yard drive down the fairway before hitting his approach to six-foot for an opening birdie. A little wobble in the middle of his front nine was quickly addressed with birdies on seven, eight and nine, at which point a certain Tiger Woods was making a charge. But Koepka showed his quality by shooting a flawless two-under-par back nine, holding off challenges from Woods, Scott and Thomas to claim his third Major title in his last six Major starts. There’s always a real buzz surrounding golf's four biggest events, especially in a Ryder Cup year as we eagerly watch on to see who’ll make the respective teams come September, but Tiger’s challenge in last month’s Open Championship and last week’s PGA Championship has got golf back on the front pages once again. Maybe, just maybe, we're beginning to see Tiger getting back to his incredible best, which can only be a positive for the sport. |
Introducing Cleveland RTX 4 |
Trying to hit your wedge shots the same way as the pros can be frustrating, especially when you see the amount of spin they achieve from all sorts of lies. Yes, technique plays a part, but so does having a set of wedges that you can trust in every situation. |
A wedge fit for tour Available in September, Cleveland's latest wedge incorporates feedback from some of the world's best golfers, such as Graeme McDowell, to make this their most tour-authentic wedge to date. As the name suggests, the RTX 4 is the fourth generation of the RTX family, with each seemingly better than the last. Cleveland says the RTX 4 will provide ultimate short game control, thanks to increased spin generation from their sharpest grooves to date. So, if you're serious about improving around the greens, come and speak to us about a custom fitting. |
