Club Championships
A big weekend of competitive golf this week with the men's Club Championships for Scratch and handicap categories being played. On Saturday over 18 holes the Ennion Salver for golfers with handicaps 18+ have their day followed on the Sunday with 36 holes being played for the Club Scratch Salver and Reynolds Salver for handicaps of 18 or less. The Scratch Salver was first played for in 1930 and the winner is regarded as the Club Champion golfer of the year. The Reynolds Salver was played for the first time in 1947 with the Ennion Salver back in 1952.
The Sunday competition with 54 competitors is the only 36 hole competition the Club runs and is not just a test of the golfers prowess but also their stamina. Good luck to everyone who has entered and enjoy the weekend.

FREE short game check
My overriding thought from my visit to the British Open at Hoylake last week was how good the short game of all the pro's was. This got me thinking about my own short game and as a result this week I have had a close look at the condition of my wedges. I have checked the lofts, grips and grooves to make sure they compliment each other and are performing well. If you would like to have your wedges checked or are looking for advice on any aspect of your short game come in and take advantage of the free wedge game check we are offering this week.
In addition the Cleveland Wedge promotion that has been running since the start of the season ends on the 31st July. This promo allows for a trade in value of £25 for your old wedge off the price of a new Cleveland wedge (RRP£85).
