Brrrrggghhhh. 

The cold has come as a bit of a shock after the mild (but wet) period recently but we should remember that it is fast approaching the end of November or I should say, it is fast approaching Christmas!!


 

Whilst there is always a buzz and excitement around our club throughout the year, it is also great to feel the Christmas buzz as well. 

There is no doubt that golfers are easy people to buy Christmas presents for, so no excuses Ladies & Gents! 

Whether you are looking for stocking fillers or something extra special we will be able to help you. Here are some gifts proving popular so far:


FREE personalising on all Titleist Balls 

This is a fantastic gift with prices starting at £15.99 per dozen up to the No.1 ball on the market - The Pro V1 at £39.99. 

This is an ideal gift whether you wish to choose an affectionate message for a loved one, or simply wish to tease a friend with an "insult"!


Use your creativity to with a £50 Voucher 

And as a little incentive to get the creative juices flowing, anyone who places an order and tweets us the 'stamp/message' that you would put on your ball along with the hashtag #FTBP will have their tweet put in a ballot to win a £50 voucher. I look forward to seeing what you can come up with.

Ralph and I kicked off our series of Capt/Pro matches by playing the formidable pairing of Alan Walmsley and Phil Little last Friday. 

The match got off to a great start with each pairing having the upper hand over the opening 5 holes after which the game was all square. Although Alan and Phil were only getting 3 shots each for the round, 2 of them were on the 6th and 8th which they used well to birdie both and be one up going down the 9th. 

It is fair to say there is usually a crucial point during the game and that came on the 9th. With Alan and Phil both missing the green with their second shots and me facing a 10' birdie putt we were hoping to draw level, but Phil played a super chip which duly went in and when I missed the putt, so we were 2 down! Unfortunately we couldn't pull that back before we eventually lost 3&2.

Thank you once again Alan, Phil and Ralph for a most enjoyable game.
