New members of our club were ‘treated’ to a nine hole introductory playing lesson with Myself, Paul and Matt, this week – our first one of the year so far.
It takes an Am Am Stableford format with two to score from the four and is played over nine holes.
I had a thoroughly good time with my team of Ray Backhouse, Mark Harrison and Neil Williamson and we combined well to score 39 points.
Matt’s team featured Alistar Chadbourn, Alan Preece and Phil Clackstone who did not combine quite as well to shoot 34 points. In unbeatable form were Paul’s team of Gordon Whitman, Phil Thirtle and Rob Sugden who did not drop a shot to score 41 points. Well done guys.
This also means that Paul took £5 off me, but I prefer to look at this as a loan as I will be winning it back next time Paul!
If you joined the club in the last 12 months and have not been invited to a playing introduction then please contact us to get in on the next one which is Wednesday, June 12 at 6pm.
If you wish to join our club as a member please contact us as soon as possible as what few vacancies we have are being snapped up quickly.
Telephone 01964 542362 and speak to one of the team in The Performance Centre.
Finals Night tonight at Hainsworth Park
Come along to view our amazing golfing facility at Hainsworth Park this evening and watch a driving spectacular as 12 of our longest hitters slog it out.
Last years’ winner, Marc Beckett, faces tough competition as his qualifying drive of 314.12 yards sees him in qualify down in 6th place.
Phil Killeen is pre-tournament favourite having smashed his way into the final late on Saturday with a drive of 326.43 yards.
Also expecting to feature high on the prize board will be Mark Gore and Curtis Bartlett who both clocked up 320+ yard drives.
Distance is not the only factor as drives have to be on the fairway to count.
After two rounds of three balls each, the field will be cut to leave us with a top five who will battle it out to crowned Long Drive Champion and walk away with the amazing first prize worth £300!
The nearest the pin event is also taking place on the night which is on the 109 yard 7th hole at the Belfry (from the red tees).
Two qualifying days have been held over the last month to present us with the 12 finalists taking part.
Qualifying in top spot was Chris Holmes when he fired his iron in to just 1ft 9”. This was fractionally closer than Rich Warnes in 2nd with 2ft. You can view Chris’ shot on our YouTube channel: Peter Myers Golf.
Everyone is welcome to attend, including non-members, with snacks being provided in the bar and drinks available all night.
The evening begins with round one of the longest drive event at 7:30pm and we expect to finish at around 11pm.

Here is what Ian Poulter and Ricky Fowler had to say recently on Twitter:
“I’m using the new GC2 launch monitor, awesome kit. No more excuses”
@IanJamesPoulter: “Getting some testing in with my boy Grant from @ForesightSports & my new GC2 launch monitor ... crazy how accurate it is!!!”
@RickyFowlerPGA: “Play a competition at our course for less than HALF the normal green fee!”
