Injured in the stands...
I have just about recovered from Liverpool's win against Borussia Dortmund!!! When the 4th goal went in someone fell on top of me from the row behind and kicked me in the calf so I got more injured watching then I do playing!!!
Hopefully now we can continue to the final and claim a Champions League spot. Luckily, although it was a great win on Wednesday night against a very disappointing Everton side I suffered no more injuries.
Early Spring Stableford
Aaron Cove continued his good form winning the Early Spring Stableford with a great score of 40 points.
I know it was a shock to a lot of you going back to the white Tees. I have listed the results below from Div 1 as all the scores listed were great scores on a cold windy day.
There were 28 twos worth £5.85 each.

Ladies news
The Ladies Grandmother's Trophy on Tuesday over 15 holes was won by Collie Faulkner with 31 points beating Jan Evans into 2nd place who had 30 points. The other Ladies played a 15 hole Stableford which Barbara Henshaw won with 31 points followed by Joan Harper with 30 points.
Valderama
The Pros certainly found Valderama tough last week. Its the first time in over 20 years a Tour Event has been won with an over par score. It ended up being very close with Andrew Johnston coming out on top. Over in the States at Hilton Head Luke Donald had his best finish in a long time.
Both courses are not the longest with small greens making accuracy very important. You could be in the middle of the fairway having to manoeuvre the ball up round or under trees. It was also good to see another member of the European Tour Brandon Grace winning for the first time in the States. This week the Tours move onto Texas and China for the European event.
Thanks to all of you who ordered the Titleist ProV1 4 for 3 deal.
Most have arrived now if you haven't got them already.
The Lithium Battery trade in deal is going well and there are some great deals to be had on certain FootJoy and adidas Ladies & Gents models with up to £20 off for your old shoes.
