This week's congratulations!

Well done to Mike Mountford on winning Saturday's Winter League with 40 points and also to Phil Green on winning Sunday's October Medal with a nett 66.

Well done to Junior Kieron Faulkner on qualifying to play in the National Finals of the Junior Daily Telegrath competition, which is being held at Quinta do Lago in Portugal this week. Kieron qualified at Launceston during the summer months and is looking forward to a good week away this week. We all wish him well!



 News from the course

As many of you have probably noticed we are currently on a tree pruning mission! Many of the trees are being pruned which we hope will speed up play, making the game more enjoyable and provide less cover for rabbits. This work will continue over the next couple of weeks.

Notice to all

If anyone finds a golf bag with clubs and a trolley abandoned on the course at any time during their round, please contact the Men's Captain as it will probably be his!



The confidence of youth 

How nice it was to see the British Masters return to our TV screens over the weekend. More than 57,000 spectators attended the event over the four days, and the crowds were treated to some top-class golf. If the numbers through the gates were impressive, how about the tournament winner? Matt Fitzpatrick, 21, completed a wire-to-wire victory in the kind of manner you'd expect from a player with twice the experience. He showed composure beyond his years, and two areas of his game stood out, particularly during the final round. 

Firstly, his accuracy off the tee; he was by no means the longest, but he would prove true the old adage 'Driving is for show, putting is for dough'. In finding the fairway more often than not he let other areas of his game do the talking. He would have been forgiven for succumbing to the nerves down the stretch but time after time he holed clutch putts, and at pace, the ball hitting the back of the cup with authority. 

How does your game hold up to tense situations? Come and see us over the winter for some coaching to give yourself the best opportunity for success in 2016 - get in touch here.

Hopefully the young man's performance inspired you to get out and play. It was certainly nice to see so many young fans attending the golf, so well done to Mr Fitzpatrick and co for inspiring the next generation.
