Captain Pro Final
DeanMavis and ChrisEades beat us 3&2 in the last of cap pro final. Dean was very solid throughout and Chris made one of the best up and downs on 9 for a three net 2 which took the wind out of our sails.
Unlucky to SteveHill and SteveBurton who we managed to sneak a 1 up victory over the week before. Thanks to everybody who took part from SteveMyers and myself. I've had a great year playing golf with Steve who's been a wonderful playing partner and a great captain for the club. I hope he has a nice rest and keeps up the work on his swing.

Video reviews in golf - yes or no?
The R&A and USGA have recently issued a new Decision on the Rules of Golf to limit the use of video evidence in the game, with immediate effect. This refers to evidence that could not be seen with the 'naked eye' as well as when players use their 'reasonable judgement' when applying the rules.
All of this comes after Lexi Thompson was penalised four strokes in a recent major after a TV viewer contacted the LPGA to inform them that Lexi hadn't correctly replaced her ball on the putting green the previous day. Thompson was two clear when handed the four-shot penalty on the 12th hole in her final round, eventually going on to lose in a playoff.
The use of video technology has been fully embraced in several sports, with the likes of tennis and cricket utilising everything that's on offer. But when it comes to people at home calling in and affecting the outcome of an event, is that a step too far?
We hope you enjoyed the newsletter. If you need any further help or advice please take a look at our website or pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help.
