Hello golfers,
The Bleadon Cup
After a hard fought morning in the foursomes, both teams were level going into the afternoon on 2 wins each. In the afternoon singles it went down to the wire, with the match 6&7 going to the final hole. The 8th match was won on the 17th, to confirm a 7 to 5 win for the blue team, captained by Stuart Glanville. A great day was had by all and a big thank you to the red team captain, Chris Leaman, for his organisation of the event as well as the buffet lunch.
Singles Knockout
Congratulations to Steve Clarke who won the singles Knockout against John Shaw 2 and 1.
Pairs Knockout Final
It wasn't all bad new for John, as he and his partner Jason Veal won the pairs knockout final in a good contest against Ian Chamberlain and Paul Bishop.
Well done gents.
The sign up sheets are now up for the 2016 singles and pairs knockouts. Entry needs to be in by the end of May, so make sure you drop in and get involved.
As the dust settles on an epic Masters, one topic rumbles on, a debate that was sparked back into life when a good few players took what many regard as too much time over each and every shot at Augusta. Yes, the slow play debate.
There's the camp that says professional golfers are playing for the game's biggest prizes, therefore taking more time than your average club golfer is to be expected.
Those who take issue with this stance argue that there's simply no need to take so long between shots, and that it sets a bad example to spectators across the world. Some people even go as far as to say club golfers are influenced by the behaviour of what they see on television and this contributes to longer rounds on a social level across the country.
We're not going to sit on the fence on this one. No one should feel rushed when they play, but there is a balance. There are some very simple procedures that, if followed, helped keep the pace of play right and manageable.
Where do you stand on the matter? We've not heard the end of this one, that's for sureā¦
