Temper, temper - I guess it's just one of those things. Some of you may have even done it. You may be surprised to hear whilst playing in last week's Club Stableford, the pro shop's own Chris Olney came into the shop halfway round with his 4-iron in two pieces. Now….. he claims he hit a tree trunk on his follow-through breaking the shaft, however Chris is a past club champion, a three handicap golfer, a Crystal Palace fan (we all have our faults) and a genuine nice guy. My question is this; what on earth was he doing hitting out from under a tree?

It appears it does rain in Spain - Jo returned from a successful golfing holiday with the Tyrrells Wood ladies last week. Although the weather wasn't on their side as the courses were a little wet underfoot, by the look of this picture everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves!


 

As you all must know by now, one of my ambitions whilst at Tyrrells is to play a full year of Captain & Pro Challenges without losing a match. So far we have a 100% record……. but only having actually played one match there's a long way to go! This Sunday brings a challenge from Phil Diamond and Kevin Johnston. Not wanting to try and intimidate our competitors at all (honestly), it only seems fair I share with you my most recent PGA tournament outing, the South Region Winter Series at the beautiful Hankley Common on Tuesday. Just click here for the full results. See you on Sunday, Phil & Kevin!


 

The Junior AGM took place last Sunday with the trophies handed out to their winners. A special mention must go to Toby Edwards. Toby is 11-years-old and joined us in January. Since then he has reduced his handicap from 30 to 22, winning a Rookie Tour event at Cuddington with 46 points along the way. As you can see from the picture, Toby has had a very successful year!

Alongside handing out the trophies we welcomed the incoming junior captain, Cameron Tarbet.


 

I always enjoy this part of my job, unpacking new products.

This week we took delivery of the new limited edition Pro V1 '00' & '99' golf balls. Stock is extremely limited so if you would like to reserve yours please click here. Don't delay, once they're gone……. they're gone!
