Thank you to everyone who supported the longest day golf challenge, and I hope that everyone who played had a great time.The day was for a great cause with all of the donations going to Macmillan Cancer Support. I will leave the Macmillan collection box in the shop all weekend for anyone who would like to add to the donations.
Below is a record of the day with the best 5 scores, notice the Captain coming out on top with a great score of -8 round Turnburry, and Dan Curtis the only other play to go under par.
Again a massive thank you,
Carl

Getting the ball up and down… more frequently!
How many times have you felt like you've got your opponent beaten with a solid approach to the green, only to watch them get up and down from the greenside rough… again! It's a great asset to have and frustrating if you're on the receiving end, especially in a matchplay situation.
Whether it's learning how to apply spin on your chip shots (see below) or adding a bump-and-run to your locker, we can help improve your own short game skills. It's not always a matter of getting too technical, either, often it's a bit of advice on where your hands are or how tightly you're gripping your club, which prove to be real game changers.
It's amazing how small improvements can end up giving your whole game a boost, not to mention the enjoyment factor you'll get by scrambling really well. Give the article below a read and speak to us if you want us to check over your short game. Click here to send us your thoughts or challenges.
