So Smooth...

With the dry weather Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the green keeping team were busy hand cutting the tees, slitting the greens, rolling the greens and cutting the greens which has meant they have being rolling superbly.

Watch this video by clicking the picture of josh putting to see the tees cut and the putt of Josh. Watch the roll of the ball; so smooth, not a single bobble.

You may remember last week I mentioned the jungle on the 8th of Badgers Sett, well the team have almost finished and what a difference it has made. They found over 200 balls on the left side. Please remember if your ball lands near a pile debris, you get a free drop at the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole.

Jack was 3 shots behind the leader going into the final day, with the outright leader sitting on 7-under. The final day (Thursday) was being filmed by Sky Sports, which undoubtedly made a fair few players nervous, especially on the first tee where they had just been interviewed by David Livingstone! Jack started off with a dream start in the first 4 holes (Birdie, Par, Eagle, Par)!

However, a long hold up on the 5th tee allowed time for thoughts to flow and lead to a triple bogey, which took back the shots Jack had just gained. He did hold it together however and finished with a very respectable 2-over for the day and a lovely chip in on the last in front of the cameras! A 2-under for the Tournament was a great achievement and earned Jack 6th place.

Overall, it was a great experience for myself and Jack. Jack will be eligible to compete again next year, due to his age, either through an invite or through qualifying again at a local event next year. He knows what he needs to work on within his game, and being at a golf college he definitely has the time and knowledge to do just that! Hopefully after this showing, he will keep me on the bag for the foreseeable future.

As we always say, we normally have some very strong pairings on paper, and as normal we did!

Most scores were in the low 60s, which was a very strong score with there being just 2 players, but blowing the rest of the field away with a fantastic score of 55.4 was the Shorter Brothers, Greg and Dave!

This score would normally be a good contender for a 4-Ball Texas Scramble, but shooting 8-under gross between the 2 of them, they really deserved to win!

Second Place was taken by Dave Gordon and Martin Cleaver with a score of 59.2. Another great score! The nearest the pins were won by Gary Mann and Ash Cook. Gary Hingley in his Christmas jumper won the 6th of Badgers.

This weekend’s Competition is a Stableford with Captain Jamie Fearnley putting on a half way hut for all those playing! It would be great to see as many members as possible playing and supporting the Club Captain, as pictured, he has been hard at work baking.
