Junior Coaching

In last week's newsletter we announced the first of many events planned for this year for junior golfers. If you missed it a copy can be found here. The first of our 'Easter Camps' will take place on Thursday, 13 April with another on Thursday, 20 April. There's still spaces available so be sure to get in touch here to book a space.

Blue Tees

Members may have noticed new blue markers plates have been installed on the course (normally on the right hand side in semi-rough ) on holes 1-10 to indicate a new short course which will be measured and used for our younger members to get junior handicaps. The juniors will tee off from these points on the fairway to play the holes. We plan to install the remainder on holes 11-18 over the coming weeks.

Charlie Leads From The Front

The junior playing season has only just started, but our Junior Club Captain Charlie Goss (pictured) has been leading from the front. Charlie represented Millfield School in a European Schools event and was the overall champion. With other good rounds at Worlebury, he has seen his handicap reduce to eight. Harry Selwyn is also on the move with a good round at Chipping Sodbury seeing his handicap reducing also to 13.

Junior Team News

Our junior team will start their matches with a trip to Farrington on Sunday, 30 April. Good luck to all playing.



The Start Of The Golfing Season Is Here

As you know, each month we run a poll on our website to get your views on the latest golfing stories or upcoming events.

Last month we asked you to vote on who you think would win this week's Masters and it was the most answered poll we've ever run, so thank you.

There were only a few votes between the top two answers, with 'A.N. Other' just beating in-form Dustin Johnson to the top of the poll. It's not surprising that the world number one is right up there as one of your favourites with just under 25% of the votes considering he's won his last three events, with Rory McIlroy leading the British charge with over 20% of you voting for him.

The Masters signals the start of the golfing season for many golfers, meaning it's time to dust off those golf clubs and come down the club for a bit of practice or a few holes. How else will you play like the pros this season? Enjoy the weekend's viewing, and in the meantime why not have a look at April's poll on our website?
