Summer is finally here
Well this last week it has finally felt like summer with warm sunshine and plenty of people getting out on the course. The comments about the course have been amazing over the last few weeks and after hosting the PGA North region event last week the course has never been in better condition. Congratulations to DeVere sponsored Alex Belt who rolled back the years by taking the trophy with a score of 6 under par. Alex, a previous winner of the North Region, really enjoyed the course and held his nerve down the tough closing stretch to take a deserved victory.

Only one first round match in the men's singles with everybody else getting a bye into the 2nd round. Hard luck to Andy Newell and Ray Birnie who will have to slug it out for a place in the next round. We will have a report on some of the matches in the newsletter in the coming weeks. Anyone who would like to feature please come and see myself or one of the team in the shop.
Quick reminder, the first round needs to be played by Tuesday 10th June and the second round by Monday 30th June.
In the doubles a couple of tasty matches jump out with Mr Captain and Phil Green taking on Matt Duquesnay and Shaun Parker. Another big encounter is the pairing of 2012 champions Dave Page and Steve Whittaker taking on Jed Starkey and Davey Whyte.
Good luck to everyone involved over the course of this summer.
