Congratulations to the junior team for reaching the finals of the Friendly cup by beating Gogs 3-0 at home last week., and will play Ely in the final. They meet the same opponents in the final of the St.Ives Cup which is taking place this weekend at St.Ives.

I'm sure you'll join me in sending them our best wishes in returning with the silverware.

Congratulations to the Ladies Scratch League Team who have now won their League, and will be promoted to Division 3 for 2015.

With less than a month to go until the Ryder Cup some of us are in our own matchplay mode. Going head to head in matchplay format can make a pleasant change to the grind of the sometimes monotonous mission of grinding out as many Stableford points as possible, or compiling a decent medal round.

Knowing that a bad shot will lead to one lost hole at worst can help free us up; give us the confidence to go for our shots safe in the knowledge that we've not 'wrecked' our scorecard. Remember though that there are different tactics involved when it comes to matchplay golf - so if you'd like a bit of help and advice click here to ask a question or pop in and see us.

Enjoy the Ryder Cup build-up and good luck in any matchplay events of your own that you have lined up.
