Excitement is building with just two tournaments of The 2015 Race to Dubai left, with five players still in with a chance of taking Rory McIlroy's top spot from him before the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.

To make it even more exciting defending champion Rory McIlroy isn't playing in this week's BMW Masters at Lake Malaren Golf Club, Shanghai. This is a great opportunity for his main contenders to make a move with the in-form Danny Willet leading the charge.

Willet finished in a tie for third place after carding a final round ten under par 62 in last week's WGC- HSBC Champions. He is now just over 74,213 points behind McIlroy and with a 28th place or better will see him into the top spot.

Aside from the contest for pole position heading to Dubai, there is plenty a competition elsewhere in the Rankings, with those players vying to sneak into the top 60 to qualify for the season's finale in Dubai, as well as those looking to break into the top 15 positions which will share the Bonus Pool money at the conclusion of the 2015 season.

   





Greenkeepers Golf Days


On Sunday and Monday last week Simon and his team held their annual 2 day Greenkeepers competition.

It was a very successful 2 days with 29 teams playing on Sunday and 25 teams playing on Monday.

For those who haven't heard or played in this day it is where Simon and his team get revenge on the golfers by putting obstacles in the way and putting pins in some unusual places, on some holes not even putting pins out but on some holes having 8 flags to aim at.

The Texas scramble was enjoyed by all with laughter heard all over the course.
