Hello golfers,

Welcome to another excting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you all of the latest goings-on from around the club. Enjoy the read.

A fantastic amount raised

After my Pro’s Day a couple of weeks ago, this was followed soon after by my Captain’s Charity Pro Am, I am glad to confirm that the following amount of £1725.50 was raised over the two days for my chosen charities this year, the Cornwall Air Ambulance and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Along with collections on the 1st tees at several of the West Region PGA Pro Am events the overall total so far is at £5,397.59.

Mizuno

Last Friday I had a visit from Simon Smart from Mizuno to go through all the new products which are hitting the market between now and early next year, the brand new MP-18 iron models look absolutely stunning and they are now in our Mizuno DNA Fitting Cart. Anyone who would like a FREE OF CHARGE FITTING between now and the end of the month will receive a FREE dozen Mizuno Tour golf balls worth £50.00 if an order is placed with us.

In the afternoon Simon stayed on site for a couple of fittings, but sadly the weather beat us on this occasion, which was a real shame. But when the new woods are launched in late February he will be down again.

If you would like a look at these irons I have included a picture below, but if you want a closer look then please pop into the Pro Shop.

Sunderland Waterproof range

Also this week we have had in our new Sunderland Waterproof range for both ladies and gents, so if you are in need of some new waterproof kit for this coming winter then pop on in and have a look at the colour ranges we have, but don’t worry if we don’t have it in as we can order any item in for you from the range.

Cornwall County Golfers Alliance

For some of you who would like to experience some winter golf around the County of Cornwall then I would like to suggest you have a look at this. Our season runs from the end of September all the way through to early May next year and we are fortunate enough to visit many of the stunning golf courses we have in Cornwall, plus a trip across the Tamar and into Devon for a two day visit to Saunton Golf Club.

The events are generally a 2 Ball Better Ball Stableford which pairings can be made up of two amateurs or Professional and amateur, although our first event which is to be held at The Point at Polzeath is a four person team stableford with two scores to count on Thursday 28th September.

The cost of these days is £40.00 per person ( excluding the Saunton trip ) and this includes breakfast on arrival, 18 holes of golf, 2’s competition, 2 course evening meal and prizes. What amazing value, so if you are interested then please pop into the Pro Shop for more information or visit our website which is – www.pgaincornwall.co.uk

Golf Club Results

Over the past week our Club Captains have held their days for the club members, last Saturday saw Scott Pedlar welcome 120 golfers for an Individual Stableford event. In what was some testing conditions Charlie Scorse came out on top of the Gents section with an amazing 1 under par gross score of 42 points. In the Ladies section this was won by Jo Munday and in the Juniors, Archie Fox who has been having a great year around the County took first place.

Then on Tuesday just gone our Lady Captain, Jenny Dunstan held her day for the Lady members within the club, her competition was a stableford event as well with double points counting on the Par 5 holes.
