Greetings from Dave,

Tour news 

US Open 

Well that's the second major of the year done and dusted and what a poor one it was. It didn't seem to have that major feel to it, the course was not a normal US open test and the top 5 players in the world were nowhere to be seen. Tommy Fleetwood did England proud with a chance of winning with one round to go but just fell short to an impressive Brooks Koepka who played that back nine on Sunday like he had already won 10 majors! Local lad Aaron Rai from Wolverhampton unfortunately missed the cut with a second round 80! Aaron managed to win the 36 hole qualifying event down at Walton Heath which was a remarkable achievement considering the strong field on the day. 

5 facts about the new US Open champion: 

1. Brooks Koepka was born in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1990. He played college golf at Florida State University and turned pro in 2012. His brother Chase is also a pro golfer. 

2. He took up golf at the age of 10 after facial injuries suffered in a car crash meant that he couldn't participate in contact sports. He began playing at West Palm Beach's public Okeeheelee Golf Course and the rest is history. 

3. Koepka comes from a baseball family. His great-uncle Dick Groat played shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, won two World Series and was the 1960 National League MVP. Koepka was a promising baseball player in his youth and still prefers the sport over golf, which he once described as "a bit boring, not much action." 

4. As a 21-year old, Koepka decided to go and try his luck in Europe and signed up for the second-tier Challenge Tour. He credits that decision with helping him to become a more rounded golfer and won four titles on the tour, including the Fred Olsen Challenge by 10 shots before playing on both the European and PGA Tours in 2014. He was Rookie of the Year on both tours in 2015 He returned full-time to the US PGA Tour later the same year. 

5. His first and only win on the PGA tour before the US Open came at the 2015 Phoenix Waste Management Open. 

Well done Brooks on winning your first major championship!!! Many more to come in the future I feel.

Longest Day Challenge 

Ken Scoffham, Phil Cross, Gary Weaver, John Bott are aiming to complete 72 holes of golf in the name of charity on June 234rd at the Chase.

'As a group we or our families have experienced the service of the Macmillan nurses and the comfort they bring to others, This is an opportunity for us to give something back and to help this fabulous group of people. Fundraising is hugely important to Macmillan. Without people doing events, running marathons, climbing mountains, and donating in all the other ways that you can, Macmillan wouldn’t exist. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.'

Please donate and support our members doing this great challenge. 

You can donate here online or text CGS050 to 70070 with the amount.

Any cash payments can be given to any player or the collection box in the bar.

Well done guys!


Seniors section 

Senior Pairs Winter League Match Play Championship

This year's event consisted of 16 pairs, with 4 leagues of 4. Fred Hackett & Robbie Bathgate came through 5 match play games to take the trophy. They complimented each other perfectly through the 3 league games and topped their group. The semi-final on 31st March was a hard fought encounter that went to the 11th hole (hole 2) Robbie chipped from the green side to within a foot from the pin to get his par 4 to win the match. 

The final on 3rd May was another tough match. Fred & Robbie managed to get 2up with 2 to play, but the pressure was telling as they lost the next hole. Even under pressure Fred produced the goods on this hole with a tricky 3 footer to half the hole and finish the match 1up. Well done gents!!!
