This weekend sees me celebrate 12 years at Falmouth and I will be running my ever popular Pro's Day for the membership on Saturday. We have four competitive sections, for Gents, Ladies, Juniors & our Academy Juniors. If you would like to play please ring the pro shop for a start time as we still have some spaces available.

Also on Friday week, the 2nd September we have Titleist turning up for a Fitting Event from 12 noon onwards, this will give you the opportunity to try out all the latest equipment with one of their specialist fitting guys. 

For more info please contact us in the shop.

A date for your diary 

With the Olympic golf behind us, our attention now turns to the Ryder Cup. Before that first tee shot on September 30, however, come the wild card selections on August 30. This is when Darren Clarke will name his three players who will join those who have already qualified (see below). 

So, how is Team Europe shaping up? The following names are guaranteed their spot on the plane to Minnesota: 

Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matt Fitzpatrick. 

Yes, some big names are set to miss out! However, the favourites for the wild card spots are Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Russell Knox. You have to say, it's a strong side given the likes of Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald and Shane Lowry are looking like missing out… maybe. 

As the saying goes, 'One man's loss is another man's gain'. Fitzpatrick qualified at the weekend and his reaction was superb - well done that man.

Now I can't promise you'll be on the Ryder Cup team in two years but if you'd like to make some changes to help you move from a golfer who sits at home and thinks...'if only' to a golfer that enjoys their game more and has a chance to compete, click here to request a lesson or lesson package today.

Let the countdown begin…
