Scoring Game Masterclass at Preston Golf Club Hosted by Simon Edwards, European Senior Tour Coach Simon’s latest research has proven that golfers lose almost 80 percent of their shots to par inside of 100 yards from the hole. To that end, this masterclass focuses on what Simon defines as “The Scoring Game,” a combination of the short game (distance wedges, pitching, chipping, sand play) and putting, which comprise 60 to 65 percent of the total number of shots played per round. From three-foot putts to full wedge and long bunker shots, you will learn to properly execute shots from any scoring position. This masterclass incorporates video tuition with all relevant drills and exercises emailed to every participant. I use Feedback devices and training tools to help golfers play all the shots on and around the green with confidence and consistency. Much more than a simple "golf lesson", this masterclass is the most effective and permanent way to lower your handicap. |

PGC Team Success Ladies Handicap Team – Interclub Qualifier Success I was delighted to hear Preston ladies made an excellent start to the 2019 Lancashire Interclub competition. The North West division qualifying round was held at Grange-over-Sands Golf Club on Friday 10th May. On a very wet day 17 teams set out to qualify for the final which will be played at Nelson Golf Club on Friday 6th September. The Preston team consisted of Penny Beckett, Sue Heaney, Heather Pilling and Amanda Ratcliffe, all of whom battled with the weather and an unfamiliar course to finish the day in joint 1st position with a team score of 227 (a full list of results can be found on the Lancashire Ladies website). Congratulations to the team and good luck in the final. |

| The hottest picks this summer |
Is it just us or has this year's clothing been the best we've had in-store for a few years now? Either way, there's no doubting that you'll be looking (and feeling) great on and off the course throughout the summer with some of these fantastic picks... |
 | | Doune polo |
A traditional option that's been jazzed up with colour block sleeves and jacquard detail, the Doune polo is available in multiple colourways and will be the choice of many this summer.
|
 | | Haddington polo |
We simply couldn’t leave the Haddington polo off our list. The main story is its front hexagonal print, which oozes a timeless yet modern style for wear both on and off the course.
|
 | | Dunblane pullover |
The fashionable Dunblane mid-layer features a lightweight and super-soft combed cotton fabric, which is beautiful to the touch for the ultimate in layering comfort.
