Another week passes by as the leaves fall even more and the dreaded thought of winter becomes more and more a reality.
Yet, if a winter involves cold frosts and dry weather, I think the majority of us would be able to cope! One thing is for sure we have a happy Pro Shop with WBA winning 4-1 against Leeds and Wolves getting a draw at the Emirates. If you are after a game this Saturday, give us a call to get booked in.
Now sit back and enjoy another segment of all things CMGC…

2018 Love.Golf Conference
Last week I jumped on a train and headed down to the ‘Big Smoke’, LONDON, for the 2018 Love.Golf Conference. I always love attending this as its great way to catch up with the other golf professionals, discuss new ideas and socialise. The Love.Golf team outdo themselves each year by creating an exciting and compelling conference that gets all the golf coaches motivated for the upcoming season.
|
The highlight definitely had to be using a golf ball made up of paper, a broom as a golf club and inviting five ladies from an office to come and give golf a go in the streets of London, by avoiding the traffic, it was a very quiet street and getting the ball Into a wheelie bin. Hopefully we managed to change their perspective of the game, which from the laughter I think we may have attempted too.
As well as the conference, we enjoyed a lovely meal at the German Gymnasium, if you are in London I would highly recommend!
Once again, I am motivated to get as many ladies involved in the game as possible, therefore if you have any ladies in your life whether friends, family, daughters or wives, that would like to give golf a go, please get in contact send an email to amymillwardgolf@gmail.com.

Keeping you up to date
The team have been busy collecting and blowing leaves, swishing greens, cutting greens, cutting fairways, cutting surrounds, running down the irrigation system, spraying the greens, slitting the greens, rebuilding bunkers and have also managed to finish off some new bridges on Foxes Run.
An extra bridge has been added to the 1st on Foxes to help spread wear, the 2nd on Foxes has been rebuilt and moved slightly, the fourth on Foxes has been rebuilt and moved slightly and two-foot bridges have been added behind the 6th on Foxes green as you head towards the top tier tee in the 7th. Well done to Ant, Kieran, Sean and John for improving these areas.
Pictured is Amy cruising over the new bridge on the first on Foxes.

November Weekend Stableford
Almost half way through November and the weekend competition was still able to be a qualifier. 45 players made the most of this opportunity to try and reduce their handicaps before the weather turns.
Saturday saw 30 out of the 45 who played over the weekend, and it also saw three out of the four prize-winning scores. Ross Moorcroft found some steady form to finish with 38 points, even with the weather trying to turn for the worst on the back nine. It was Andy Thomas who denied Ross of first place in Division One, Andy also scored 38 points but a stronger back nine saw Andy take top spot.
Paul Harrison shot 34 points in Division Two on Saturday to finish in second place after day one. However, this was short lived after early bird Ian Orme carded 34 points on Sunday morning to beat Paul on countback. Division Two top spot however was dominated by Andy Roberts, who finished with a four-point lead of 38 points on Saturday. Andy has been making the most of the relatively good weather and dedicated a couple of hours every other day to practice on his short game. His commitment to practicing his golf is starting to show through!

Feeling festive
Keen an eye out of the next few weeks for the Christmas menu that will be in place here at CMGC. Christmas is now only six weeks away, are you prepared? |
Tick another off your list
|
It's time to stop putting it off - Christmas is getting closer and closer, so you need to consider what will be going under the tree later this year. We're not just talking about the presents that you buy for loved ones and friends, but also what you want to be unwrapping come December 25th. |
 | | Garmin Approach S10 | A golfer who is not utilising the immense help that a GPS device provides is putting themselves at a major disadvantage over their playing partners. Knowing how far you have to the green (front, middle and back) as well as hazards is vital to hitting your next shot with confidence, which you can get from the Approach S10. |
 | | Garmin Approach S60 | If, however, you want a little bit more style and information from your GPS then we'd suggest Garmin's Approach S60. The choice of straps means you can choose one to suit your lifestyle off the course, whilst its full-colour maps and touchscreen face eliminates any guesswork during your round. |
