Hello golfers,

Welcome to this week's newsletter from Clevedon Golf Club. Enjoy the read and we hope to see you at the club soon.

Ladies Captain's Day

After a slightly damp start to the day, Sue managed to get all of her competitors round without them getting too wet! The format was a 'Step-A-Side Texas Scramble' played in threes and a theme based around bright colours. The leading scores were extremely closely bunched with only 0.3 of a shot between the top three teams. Top spot went to Marian Crewe, Molly Hocking and Vicki Sach with a nett 66. Well done ladies, some other scores below.

First place - Marian Crewe, Molly Hocking and Vicki Sach - Nett 66.
Second place - Alison Lee, Val Trounce and Eve Childs - Nett 66.2.
Third place - Debbie Quinn-Hall, Caroline Fairhurst and Gill Vowles - Nett 66.3.

Sue Tasker, Judy Olsen and Ann Marsh took the honours in the nine hole event which was played in the same format.

September Medal

We now know what Billy Blackall has been doing this summer, playing golf! Already playing off a much reduced handicap of 17, Billy romped to victory overall with a gross 80, nett 63. This earned him a cut to 14 but an 'exceptional scoring' sees his weekend finish with his handicap sitting at 12. Well played Billy, Grandads Dave Blackall and Richard Hickling will be proud.

Second place overall goes to another youngster, Callum Walker, who earned a two shot cut and now sees his handicap at 10, which incidentally is now lower than his father Mike Walker. While we're on the subject of our younger players, Alfie Hocking deserves a mention for his nett 68 which sees his handicap now at 17. Other scores are as follows:

Division One - First place - Callum Walker (Nett 66), second place - Alan Gladwin (Nett 68) and in third place - Andy McCall (Nett 70).

Division Two - First place - Billy Blackall (Nett 63), second place - Gary Atkinson (Nett 68) and in third place - Alfie Hocking (Nett 68).

Division Three - First place - Mark Derrick (Nett 73), second place - Rod Billing (Nett 77) and in third place - Stephen McNulty (Nett 78).

The twos sweep paid £24 to those that managed a two (And entered the sweep). 

Autumn/winter ranges from FootJoy and Under Armour

Although the conditions outside are still pretty warm, we've taken delivery of autumn/winter ranges from both FootJoy and Under Armour. There's new pieces in both ranges with innovations such as FootJoy's brand new waterproof jacket, DryJoys Tour LTS. The DryJoys Tour LTS jacket combines the Lightweight construction of a five panel design with Temperature regulating thermolite technology and the Stretch of a custom engineered 3-layer bonded fabric. Designed to adapt to any condition you might face on the golf course.

UnderArmour's Reactor Hybrid half zip and vest are also full of innovation. This is the layer you want to extend your season - it's light and lets you move, but it's also incredibly warm. The best part? The ColdGear Reactor insulation actually adapts to your activity level to keep you cooler when you start to get too hot.
