Captain's Day at The Berkshire

Very many congratulations to the winners of this year's Captain's Day.

The winning score on the Red Course was 91 points by the team of Andrew Garber, Kerry Spring Rice, Ian and Georgie Gill. 89 points saw Sarah Robinson, Diana Hornet, Joanna Butterwick and Janet Templeman to victory on the Blue Course. My team have looked closely at what went wrong this year and believe that they have found a winning formula for next year's competition........something about finding a replacement for me!

Good luck if you are playing in tomorrow's Gentlemen's Invitation Meeting and if not please note that both courses will be closed.

Never give up

Birdie, par, birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie. We've all finished a round like this, right?! This was Rickie Fowler's amazing finish at The Players and it just goes to show if you don't let your shoulders drop, you can come from nowhere to win.

What we find with a lot of amateur golfers is that they obsess about their score, especially when chasing Stableford points. If you stay focused and play each shot at a time, a good score will remain within your grasp.

This is a difficult game and if you can learn to accept the odd blip then you'll be better for it. Of course, hitting the odd 243-yard 3-wood to two feet will help, but don't stress if you don't pull this off every time, not even Fowler would have expected a kick-in eagle like he managed to pull off.

However, do request a lesson if there's anything you'd like help on, such as striking fairway woods off the deck like Mr Fowler, do get in touch. You know where we are…click here to request a lesson.
