Blue Tee Texas Scramble
This past weekend saw the yearly members Blue Tee Texas Scramble take place. The highlight of the early season calendar sees the members slug it out from the very back tees. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind to many of you out there and the scores definitely reflected that with the best ones coming in the morning.
Congratulations to the team of Gary Brooksby, Chris Prewett, Paul Crisp and Pat Nelligan with a score of 69 - 6.7 = 62.3.
Your winning vouchers will be on their way very shortly.

Our Srixon ball fitting day went very well on Tuesday, with a lot of our members surprised at what a difference a ball can make. Judith Butterworth, who has been playing the Srixon Z Star, found that she hit the ball 8 yards further with the AD333!
A win win for Judith, as she saved money and hit the ball further!
Another fitting day will be announced in due course, and I urge you to come along as it is very interesting as to what you can learn, and gain.
Friday 30th May 7am until Sunday 1st June 6pm
TaylorMade Ghost Putter - Was £129, now £59!

The nurses and volunteers work tirelessly to help those people suffering from the dreadful illness that claims so many lives every year. As in previous years £1 out the £5 entry fee will go to the hospice and I will match the total figure. So the more enter the competition, the more Trinity Hospice receive.

GameBook
I have just returned from a training course about a new product for your smart phone called GameBook.
GameBook is a revolutionary new scoring system for when you are out on the golf course. Whether you are having a 'chuck in' with your group of friends or a 200 person charity golf day, GameBook can act as your scorecard and live leader board all in one.
This is a really exciting product that is completely free and could completely revolutionise the way we score in the future. The live leader board tool is a great addition because you can see where you stand in 'real time'; imagine knowing where you stood coming up the last three holes in the club championship and using that information to determine your strategy up the last three just like the professionals do. I'm sure you agree it could change the way you play.
We will be holding a GameBook members fun competition in the next few weeks so to register your interest in this or for a brief demo on GameBook pop in the shop.
To download it on your smart phone or android visit the App store and search for 'Golf GameBook' or alternatively visit www.golfgamebook.com for more information.
Have a play with it with your group of friends and let me know what you think!!
