I am delighted to say that I have qualified for the Foremost team to play in the Ashworth Cup again this year. I qualified at Pannal on Monday in all the rain. I came back in 33 to take second place and earn the right to play at Glenaeagles in July.
It was a great event last year at The Celtic Manor and I am sure this year will be just as good.
I would like to thank Paul Day, Bruce Johnson and Simon Lester for a great day out in the Hazel Grove Pro Am last Friday.
We unfortunately dropped two shots on the last hole to drop out of the prizes. Click here to view the itinerary for the Ashworth Cup.
A certain Jaime Donaldson teed it up in the Pro-Am, in preparation for this weeks US OPEN at Pinehurst, he teed up with his little pencil bag with six clubs and a putter and went round in seven under par, five shots clear of everyone else. I finished 6th with a 73.
The competition on Saturday was a wash out I am afraid, only an hour into the competition and the heavens opened and play was suspended before being it was cancelled at around 9:30am. The Medical Vase has been re scheduled for Sunday 10th August.
Big congratulations to Jill Peters for winning the Coronation Trophy last Thursday, a fantastic 41 points off 8. Jill has been struggling of late, but a few lessons using the V1 App soon got Jill striking the ball a lot better and more consistent.
Well done Jill.
Anne Evans after her lesson the day before was second with 33 points.
