Hello golfers, 

Competition results 

This weekend we had 2 competitions and once again an opportunity for somebody to get their name on the Honour Boards. First up was the Darnley Challenge Cup on Saturday, here is how the R&CPGC faithful got on:

Darnley Challenge Cup

On what was a pleasant spring day we had 145 members trying to earn them an early season invitation to the Prize Giving Dinner. The best of the bunch in Division 2 was Mark Donovan who returned home with 38 points but sadly finished with 0 points on the last hole. Would that prove costly for the final result, we'll have to wait and see? 

Will Clarke
Mark works tirelessly on his game during the week and has also been working with Rob to get his handicap down to where they both believe it belongs. His hard work certainly paid dividends this week and a cut of 1.2 gets his handicap closer to his target!

The best in Division 1 and the Darnley Challenge Cup winner was Will Clarke who scored a cracking 40 points playing off 5. Will's front 9 was a very steady 18 points but the thrusters were kicked into over drive in the second half and an impressive 22 points, 1 under par, back 9 was enough for Will to secure victory! 

Another big story of the weekend was Danny Gibbons' radar like golf game seeking the bottom of the cup at the 16th in just 1 shot! Danny's extraordinary shot earned him £66, taking half of the twos pot in the process. Probably not quite enough to outweigh the deficit at the bar, I'm sure!


Dean Monthly Medal Winners ShieldMonthly Medal Winners Shield

The second of the competitions was a far more exclusive field of just 14 players consisting of the Monthly Medal Winners from 2016/17. The perfect opportunity for the guys to prove their win wasn't just a stroke of luck and more like a stroke of genius. 

The masterful tactician was Dean Lanning who sits atop of the tree with a respectable nett 73 to take victory by 1 shot from Andy Boorman who sits alone in second place. Dean has also now booked his place in the history books and can speak about his accomplishment for years to come with the evidence up in gold leaf!



Captain pro challenge 

Captain & Professional Match

Terry and I
had our second Captain & Professional match of the season against the formidable pairing of Martin Pegg and Mark Ward on what felt like a winter's day. 

This would be Terry's third consecutive day of golf and the previous 2 days took their toll on the old boy's body, meaning I would have to carry him through another match. The only problem this time was my shoulder was giving me grief, so only God knows how that would cope as well as having Terry on their as well!

Capt & Pro Match
Things were going well and according to plan as Terry and I found ourselves leading for 12 holes but things quickly turned around as Mark's consistent play clawed the game back. Martin and Mark dovetailed superbly and were strong enough to claim an infamous victory. Although I'm not sure how much pride they can take from beating two injured golfers! 
I think the loss of the unbeaten record needs a stewards enquiry too because technically the match was played outside of the official Captain & Professional match times making it an unofficial win. Nonetheless, well done to Martin & Mark!


Pro Am 

Pro-Am 

There are just 8 weeks until the biggest and best day at R&CPGC, the Pro-Am on Thursday 29th June. Typically a fun day out for all involved whether that be the amateurs playing for the first time, the diehards that play every year, or the PGA Professionals. But what does the day entail? 

When we organise the Pro-Am every year we always seem to attract the best PGA Professionals from the South Region which only adds to the pleasurable experience for the R&CPGC members. All the PGA Professionals who play are always extremely approachable and happy to give their team hints and tips that could help their game or are more than happy to talk through their approach to a shot or even a round. 

Pro-Am Entry Form
Once all the teams are back in after all the fun on the course, Jackie and Bernie put on a spectacular 3 course carvery meal and I'm sure this year will be no different! After the food is demolished we move onto the part that everybody waits for, the presentation. Every year the prizes get bigger and better and the plan is to improve them this year. 

For extra value you can get VIP entry for £400 which gets you not only what you see above but also exclusive car parking close to the clubhouse to ease you into the day rather than lugging your tools half way across the car park. Celebrity VIP treatment also gets you an upgrade on the bacon roll to a Full English Breakfast on arrival in your own secluded part of the clubhouse as well as an array of gifts that are essential for the day. 

If you would like to enter you can find an entry form opposite. You can enter as teams of 3 or individually and we will endeavour to make you up into a team. If there is a specific PGA Professional you would like to play with, then please let us know and we can check their availability.
