This weekend sees the club championship take place over 36 holes on Saturday and Sunday. The entry for competition has been very good, with 75 players taking part. Tom Aye-Moung will be looking to defend the title he won last year for the first time. I will report the full results in the newsletter next week, good luck to everyone who has entered.
Congratulations to Matthew Brown who won the July Midweek Stableford last Tuesday. Matthew returned a fantastic score of 45 points to win the competition by three points. The scoring on the day was very good, Stuart Allbury finished second on count back from Paul Gumbrell. Matthew scored a gross score of 80 playing off his old handicap of 18; and had his handicap reduced by 2 shots to 16.4. Two people recorded 2's on the day - Tom Aye Moung and Tim Osman. The 2's pot of £38 was shared equally between the two of them.
Has your putted been custom fitted?
Over the last few months I have talked extensively about the benefits of custom fitted irons and woods and the results/improvements they offer. Whilst giving a putter fitting last weekend I realised I have not expressed the benefits of a custom fitted putter. The putter is the club most used in the bag; potentially you use your putter for up to 45% of your shots. Is the most important club in your bag customer fitted?
The following information is taking into account when custom fitting a putter: Height, Wrist to floor measurement, Posture, Shaft Lean and most importantly stroke type (Shape). Do you know your stroke type? Does the putter you use match your stroke type? There are 3 different types of putting stroke: straight, slight arch and strong arch.

Gary Edwin Golf Seminar
Last Monday I attend a golf coaching seminar at Lingfield Marriott Golf Course. The seminar was held by PGA professional Gary Edwin from Australia.
I attend several coaching seminars throughout the year. I believe Gary Edwin to be one of the greatest coaches in the world and to spend time listening and learning from him was very rewarding. Gary had flown in from the Gold Coast in Australia; he is in the UK for 5 weeks. He has several players playing in the British Open, Ladies British Open and the Seniors British Open.
His philosophy is to build a simple but powerful, repeatable and accurate swing, something we all aspire to! These are principles I follow when coaching.

Last Sunday I attend the race for life at Brighton's Stanmer Park. My wife Allison run the 5k cross country with several of her friends to raise money for cancer research.
£177,000 was raised by the thousands of people who run the race. Congratulations to everyone who took part.
