Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. I’d just like to start off by saying it’s been great to see many of you out playing. This time last year, I think the course was closed more than it was open so hopefully the mild weather continues so we can keep playing as much as possible.
Enjoy the read!

Season preparation
I myself have been away for a few days with Paul Waring in Tenerife. He was doing a bit of preparation for the start of his season In Abu Dhabi which starts this week. This spells the start of a three week run in the Middle East for Paul starting with Abu Dhabi, then Dubai, followed by Saudi Arabia.
All the very best of luck to Paul, I’m sure he’ll have another great season. We filmed quite a bit of the golf that we played in Tenerife so for those that are interested, this is available on YouTube, just search ‘Alex Evans Golf’.

Men’s hidden pin
The men’s hidden pin competition on Saturday was won by Steve Watson, Ben Watson. Terry Keenan, and Dennis Munro with a score of 72 points which was very good going in tough conditions over 15 holes. Second place was taken by Albert Davies, Chris Harris, Mike Linwood, and John Edwards with 71. In third place were Terry Nelson, Peter Bernard, Steve Roberts, and Mike Cliff on 70 points.
Well done to all, as it was not easy out there.

Ace day for Karen!
A special mention this week to Karen Munro who made her first hole in one on the 6th hole on Tuesday. She heard it clatter the flag but wasn’t convinced until she got up to the green.
Many congratulations to Karen, to add, it was a pin tucked in the back right corner, so it was definitely well earned.

Back in the winner's circle...
It was a 9th PGA Tour win for tour favourite Matt Kuchar, as he claimed victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Kuchar carded a final round of 66, finishing on -22, four shots clear of Andrew Putnam in second place. It wasn’t all plain sailing for Kuchar, with bogeys in three of his first five holes on Sunday, but a resurgent back-nine saw a comfortable win in the end.
It was Kuchar’s second win on tour this season, just 64 days after winning the Mayakoba Classic in November; a real change in fortunes, when you consider he had to wait four years between his seventh and eighth PGA Tour victories.
On the Ladies European Tour, England’s Charley Hull took a wire-to-wire triumph at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi, for her second win on tour. It was a real test of nerve at the finish, with Hull splashing out of a bunker on the 18th, before saving par with a great putt to give her the win by one stroke.

There’s no such thing as bad weather for golf – just a poor choice of clothing. You might have got away with the old ‘raincheck’ excuse a few years ago, but golf clothing has come a long way since then. All you need to do is make sure you’re properly layered up with golf-specific garments and you’re good to go. |
