Harpenden Common Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional
Herts County Dinner
As we all know the scratch team won the Herts County League after a surprising end to the season. Last Friday the boys did the club proud and collected the trophy and the beloved flag. Alex Turner made a small speech when awarded with the trophy.
It's the first time Moor Park have been demoted into division 2 for some years, and in true Alex Turner fashion he may have mentioned this a few times in his speech. One of the speakers for the evening was the head of the PGA Sandy Jones, He brought a little friend along. The Ryder Cup. Here are some phots of Alex and the team with the scratch team cup and the Ryder Cup. We all know which one is the best!
Terra-Lifting
This week saw the start of our terra-lift programme this involved blowing compressed air into the ground breaking up the clay and making the drainage better on the greens. This will make the commons greens much better all year round!
British Masters
Thanks to all of the members who gave up their time and marshalled on the 14th hole of the British Masters two weeks ago.
The team Coordinated by "IPC" Tony Burgess looked after the 14th Hole they all had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and its rumoured they did such a good job they may be allowed to marshal at the Ladies Open next year.
Is Tony burgess in the Race To Dubai?
Someone has spotted our "IPC" Tony Burgess Teeing it up on the 18th hole at the Portuguese Masters. Tony and Felicity have been in Portugal watching the very popular European Tour Event.
Well done to Richard Willett on winning the charity shield last week an impressive 41 points! Richard recently changed his driver for the New Callaway Big Bertha. It looks like it's paying off!
