Captain's Day 2016
On Saturday 11th June the Common put on a huge day of golf: competition, good food and entertainment just as club captain Don Engstrtom would have it.
With 168 players taking part a shotgun start was held at 9am and then again at 1.30pm. Many prizes were available on all 4 par 3s as nearest the pin and hole in ones giving the chance to win some amazing prizes including £5,000 cash and a 3 night stay for 2 at praia d'el rey Portugal! The 18th hole saw a double or nothing charity competition entry £5 and you would receive £10 if you were to hit the green.
Congratulations to the winner of the day Nick Urwin who ended with 42 points after scoring level par gross.
2nd place Hugh Jenkinson 38pts
3rd David Morgan 38pts.
After the round the players treated to a BBQ buffet and evening and afternoon entertainment.
We really appreciated everyone who took time out of their day to help Captain's Day run smoothly and to the green staff who provided an immaculately kept course for all to enjoy.
US Open 2016 Competition
This week marks the start of the 116th US Open at Oakmont golf club. With over 200 bunkers across the 18 holes and rough so thick around the greens you can barely see your ball, and that's all before you get to the greens!! Undulating and quick the players have already said how difficult they are.
So with that in mind we have a simple task for you. We want to know what score the winner will be on after Sunday's round. All Entries have to be in before the start of round 3 on Saturday and the first entry with correct score will win a discount voucher of 10% to be used in the shop. Good Luck!

Janet Coomber improvement
Here is Janet Coomber on a playing lesson with Rob Leonard. As you can see the first swings were on the 3rd hole at Harpenden Common and the improved swings were on the 5th Tee. We were working on trying to get Janet's swing more rounded to increase her power and improve the ball flight. As you can see here on the backswing we have created a more rounded swing. The most important one in the below pictures is the downswing. The new position is allowing Janet to attack the ball from a more 'sweeping' position.
Janet said 'I enjoyed the session and it has really improved my game and confidence' well done Janet and keep up the good work.
