Even though the weather has turned a little wintry for my liking, it's been another busy past week here at the club.
It has been even busier for Brian and his staff in trying to keep the course looking and playing as well as it is with all the rain and also the amount of leaves that are falling.
Matt and I were invited by Asbri Golf to the Belfry last Thursday to preview next years products and also a game on the famous Brabazon Course.
But after a very productive meeting and very impressed with what will be on offer for 2017, the weather got the best of us and we only managed the 9 holes.
We played the back nine and therefore played the famous 10th and 18th holes, and must admit that the course was in excellent condition.
I will let Matt talk through his tee shot on the 10th with you.........!!!
After the non stop rain of Saturday night, Sandiway once again stepped up to the game and the course was fully open on Sunday for Demuth 4. It was a battle for division one between John Fitzmaurice and Martin Kennerley, playing together it was a bit like Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson at The Open but it was Martin Kennerley who took the honours with a very impressive 40 points, which included two 2's on the back nine which was enough to beat John by two points. John Andrew was third a further shot behind.
In division two a fantastic 41 points by Jonathan Kell was two clear points ahead of Paul Hawkins with Richard Freakes third with 37 points. We are now half way thru the qualifying for the Demuth Candlesticks Finals. The twos for the day paid £7.50.
