Hi People of Wishaw,

Hope this newsletter finds you well? Enjoying the weather recently? What a mixed bag, some fantastic weather one day and then terrible heavy rain the next. The course is standing up to the elements really well and we even managed to get the Bobby Gray Open finished in terrible weather.


 

Bobby Gray Open 

As commented before the weather was terrible and we were very close to possibly losing the competition.

 This would have been heart breaking for a certain Gus Kilmurray who shot a tremendous 70, scratch, off his bandit 9 handicap to lift the trophy. 

Well done Gus and here he is pictured with the trophy.

Paul Reid Mixed Foursomes 

Well done to Tom Sommerville and Karen Charnley on winning the above event, here they are pictured with their trophy.




Pro's Day Rearranged 

I have had to re-arrange my Pro Day due to a problem with the date. The new date will be Saturday the 1st of October. Look out for next week's newsletter for more on this competition but it's one you don't want to miss.

 

A Date For Your Diary

With the Olympic golf behind us, our attention now turns to the Ryder Cup. Before that first tee shot on September 30, however, come the wild card selections on August 30. This is when Darren Clarke will name his three players who will join those who have already qualified (see below). 

So, how is Team Europe shaping up? The following names are guaranteed their spot on the plane to Minnesota: 

Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matt Fitzpatrick. 

Yes, some big names are set to miss out! However, the favourites for the wild card spots are Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Russell Knox. You have to say, it's a strong side given the likes of Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald and Shane Lowry are looking like missing out… maybe. 

As the saying goes, 'One man's loss is another man's gain'. Fitzpatrick qualified at the weekend and his reaction was superb - well done that man.

Now I can't promise you'll be on the Ryder Cup team in two years but if you'd like to make some changes to help you move from a golfer who sits at home and thinks...'if only' to a golfer that enjoys their game more and has a chance to compete, click here to request a lesson or lesson package today.

Let the countdown begin…
