Our first piece of news this week is from our Somerset Bowl team who narrowly lost out on a place in the semi final of the competition after a tense battle with Worlebury GC @ Brean Golf Club. 4 out of the 5 games were incredibly close.
Well done to all of the team members that took part.
Heroic Henrik
The golf world has run out of superlatives for Henrik Stenson, who claimed his first Major title at Royal Troon last weekend - what a final round we were treated to. Has there ever been a more impressive final round in Open Championship history?
Both the Swede and 2013 Open champion, Phil Mickelson carded 63s around the famous links, but it was Stenson - who shot his 63 on Sunday - who prevailed, despite the American posting a hugely impressive 65.
On any other day, Mickelson would have been celebrating his sixth Major. To put their scoring into perspective, Mickelson (-17) finished three shots shy of Stenson but 11 clear of JB Holmes in solo third.
It was a two-horse race for the Claret Jug before they teed off on Sunday, but few people could have expected them to surge further clear in the manner they did. If you've been on holiday and haven't checked out the highlights yet, be sure to do so, it was something else.
Hopefully that's got the juices flowing for many of you to get out and play, no doubt these two super pros have inspired many young golf fans watching on, it really was sport at its very best.
So, three down, one to go… that's the PGA Championship next week.
Throw in the Olympics and the Ryder Cup and there's still a lot of fantastic golf to look forward to. If they're half as entertaining as events at Royal Troon, we're in for a treat.
If you have been inspired to get out and improve your game during this weekend's action then get in touch here and we can book a session in to help you on your way.
This week is meant to be superb so come down and enjoy the sunshine.
Dress Like Dustin For Cheaper
That's right! If you envied Dustin Johnson's golf game at Oakmont, but also his wardrobe, during his maiden major victory, then now is the time to emulate his style and get some adidas gear.
At the moment we have a great deal on all adidas clothing: Buy one get one half price, which by my calculations, is probably about the same deal Dustin gets when buying his adidas clothes.
Why not pop in this weekend and take a look at this cracking offer.
Note: Available on current stock items only, cheapest item half price.
Bad Weather Begone
The new covered driving range bay and mat is here, and now we can finally practice when the weather isn't so great (so the whole of this summer then).
As lucky as we are to have a grass driving range, it can get wet and muddy and a bit golf unfriendly, but now we have the best of both worlds with our new bay and mat so come and try it out.
