Hello golfers,
The Open Championship
With the Open championship just a week away it's been a fairly traumatic week for Rory McIIroy, if you haven't heard - After a kick about with old school friends back home in Northern Ireland led to him going over on his ankle. According to his Twitter feed he suffered a "total rupture of left ATFL (ankle ligament) and associated joint capsule damage" and now is out of the Championship. This is a great shame, however if the Tour de France is anything to go by this week Rory is a 'lightweight!'
This Monday, Swiss cyclist Fabian Cancellara crashed heavily, CT scans later showed he had fractured two vertebrae and had to withdraw from the race - but not before he had finished the last 30 miles of the stage!!
When Paul met Lee
Many congratulations to Tyrrells Member, Paul Milner who won my Foremost Competition to meet Lee Westwood. The day was held at Royal Wimbledon Golf Club and sponsored by FootJoy. After a welcome breakfast the competition winners were treated to a golf clinic by Lee followed by a round of golf.
