Club championships

Club Championship review 

It was the big one on Saturday as we played for the Club Championship Trophy, the course was in fantastic condition with quick greens and there was a fresh wind blowing to make conditions suitably demanding for a major board competition. 

There were some big guns playing in the first few groups with last year's winner and 7 handicapper Steve Bond going well on just two over par after nine holes despite a double bogey on five, in the group behind 8 handicapper Martin Major was doing even better as he went out in level par with just one bogey and one birdie, conditions meant that birdies were very difficult to come by.

    

As is usually the case with major competitions the back nine was where the winner and losers were decided, both players must have been feeling the pressure as Steve had three bogeys in a row from the 13th through to the 15th, but Martin had four bogeys in a row over the same holes! In the end the 17th hole proved pivotal as both players had hit their tee shots left but Steve still found the green in two and made par whilst Martin suffered a costly double bogey, this meant Martin's two shot lead was eroded and Steve now lead by a shot. 

Martin made a solid par up the difficult last hole to score 76 and even though Steve made a bogey to also finish on 76 he became the club champion for a record third time courtesy of his better back nine, in third place was Antony Green with a nine over par 78. 

  

The nett prize was won by 15 handicapper Chris Whalley with a fine nett 64, his round got off to the perfect start with a nice birdie on the first and he rarely found trouble despite the difficult conditions, in second place was Antony Green on nett 66 who had a birdie on the 6th hole both times around. In third place was Matt Leach on nett 67. 

Well done Steve - a great achievement to be Club Champion three times and well played Chris on a fantastic round in tricky conditions. 

This Saturday we play the July Medal starting at 12:04pm.

Pros news

Lombard Trophy Pro-Am review 

Our PGA professional Adam Powell and partner 19 handicapper Matt Leach both played a blinder on Wednesday to qualify for the Grand Final of the Lombard Trophy at Pestana Golf Resort in Portugal, they scored a brilliant 11 under par 61 to win the qualifying event at Dunham Forest. Matt was a 'super sub' as the original partner to Adam - James Eaton had fallen ill, Martin Major was on standby but he couldn't get time off work so it was left to Matt to step in at the last minute and he contributed greatly with an amazing 10 nett birdies and one nett eagle, Adam contributed some good birdies of his own on the holes Matt didn't score on. 

They will now play in the Grand Final in September where there is a massive £41,500 prize purse up for grabs including a £12,000 first prize for the leading professional, so best of luck in the final Adam and Matt

Seniors section

The seniors played another round of their nine hole Summer League on Tuesday, the winner was Tony Ledson with a 21 point haul, Tony had a brilliant run from holes 4-8 with four pars and a birdie even though he didn't score on the 9th hole he still had enough points to take first place. In second was Alan Nevin on 20 points and Ray Gilliland was third also on 20 points. 

Next week the seniors are playing their Summer Special which is an 18 hole competition starting at 9:16am. 


Hot topic

Is it the 'Big Three' or the 'Big Four'?

Just when you thought Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy were all set to divvy up golf's biggest prizes, along comes big-hitting Dustin Johnson. The US champion is now number two in the world and looks to be finally fulfilling his potential after another fine win at the weekend - and a big one too at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. For years Johnson seemed destined to be the bridesmaid, now he's one of the favourites to go back-to-back in Majors and take the Claret Jug back across the Atlantic.

Next week's Open at Royal Troon could be a classic
