Pro-Am

Last Friday saw the first Pro-Am take place here at Clevedon Golf Club for 10 years. The event was a resounding success with 41 teams, all lead by a PGA Professional, compete over a superbly presented golf course. Lots of work went into getting the event off the ground so many thanks go to all of the staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure all players were looked after from the time they arrived until the time left. A big thanks also to all of our sponsors, without whom, the event wouldn't have taken place.

A special mention to Ash, who not only did the lions share of the organising, but also was the joint best score of the day (-3). A tremendous feet considering how many things he was co-ordinating right up until the time he tee'd off! A fantastic job, well done Ash.

The winning team on the day with 94 points was comprised of Craig Andrews, Iain Clark and Matt Hocking. They won by a clear three points, well played gents. Click here for a full list of results.

   

   

   



Video Reviews In Golf - Yes Or No?

The R&A and USGA have recently issued a new Decision on the Rules of Golf to limit the use of video evidence in the game, with immediate effect. This refers to evidence that could not be seen with the 'naked eye' as well as when players use their 'reasonable judgement' when applying the rules.

All of this comes after Lexi Thompson was penalised four strokes in a recent major after a TV viewer contacted the LPGA to inform them that Lexi hadn't correctly replaced her ball on the putting green the previous day. Thompson was two clear when handed the four-shot penalty on the 12th hole in her final round, eventually going on to lose in a playoff.

The use of video technology has been fully embraced in several sports, with the likes of tennis and cricket utilising everything that's on offer. But when it comes to people at home calling in and affecting the outcome of an event, is that a step too far?
