Nick Rogers Pro Shop

Hello Golfers,

I hope you’re enjoying this late season weather we've had recently, it has certainly extended the golfing season and hopefully made winter a tad shorter. However, saying that it looks like it's about to change over the next day or two, but again we are looking at a little improvement for Saturday's Greenkeepers Shotgun at 9.30, which was re-arranged from October.

South Africa trip

Having been away for the past couple of weeks on my coaching trip to South Africa, I would like to thank Rob, Kathy, Zoe and Rik for helping out covering the shop while I have been away.

Having never been to SA before it was something that I was looking forward to with excitement.

It certainly didn't let me down, the clients had an amazing trip with wonderful weather, plenty of golf, wine tasting, fantastic meals and amazing days off. Our group had plenty of expert tuition and lots of stress-free time with 2 golf pro's taking care of them.

Six rounds of golf at De Zalze, Devonvale, Strand, Hermanaus and twice at Erinvale, lots of wine tasting at such places as Peter Falke, Ernie Els, Lourensford and the Rickty Bridge vineyards, and amazing meals at Erinvale, Steffanie's Place and Willowbrook.

Our clients always returned to the hotel bronzed, slightly knackered from golf and fat and full from all the booze and food.

Course update

At this moment in time Richard and the team are laying the turf onto the new 9th green, but I would like to remind you all, that although the turf will have gone down, please DO NOT WALK onto the newly turfed area to pick up any golf balls that you may have hit onto it.

Please let the staff retrieve the golf balls and they will pop them into a bucket outside the Pro Shop ( just make sure you have some marking on your golf balls to identify them ).

Golf Club Results

Last Saturday was our Winter League round 3 and scoring was not too bad, but not quite as high as it's been over the first two rounds. The overall winners were Andy Morris & Steve Jones with 44 points, beating Shaun Pelter & Roger Weeks by 1 Point who in turn pipped Marek Churcher & Paul Kneebone, who were the best of the 42's.

Then on Sunday our Frank Wills team took on local rivals, Tehidy Park in the second round which was held at Perranporth. In a match which first of all swung Tehidy's way with two heavy wins, Falmouth then got one match back and with the other two matches both looking good for Falmouth with them both 2 up going up 17.

Things swung towards Tehidy with the top match being forced to go to extra holes, which sadly went in Tehidy's favour, thus an honourable half was agreed in the last match which was heading down 18. So sadly our Club Captain's teams have now all been knocked out of the County Knockouts, but William has been grateful to all the players, caddies and supporters from Falmouth who have done the club proud again. Hopefully we can get a decent run in next year's events.
