Surrey PGA Chamionships
Bletchingley GC was host to the Surrey PGA Championship yesterday. The conditions were extremely poor with the tournament being cut from 36 holes to 18 holes.
Our teaching Professional Ben Daniels played extremely well in brutal conditions posting a one under 71. Ben led the field for the majority of the day, but Chris Gane, who in recent years has held a tour card, snatched victory away posting a three under 69.

Seniors Charity 2015 - The Orpheus Centre
My Captains Golf Charity Day will take place on Tuesday, 1 September.
The Orpheus Centre have agreed to support the day and one of their former pupils Angus Morton who is known to some of you will be performing. Two representatives from the Charity will also be along to help with the Raffle and to give a short presentation on the work of the Centre which is just over the fields from us.
This will take about half an hour and I would like to invite one and all to join us at around 2pm to support this very worthwhile Charity.
All Donations gratefully received and any items for the raffle will also be welcome. Please contact John Donelan in regard to the latter.
Thank you

We can all learn a thing or two from the weekend's action in America. For those of you who missed it, US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III claimed PGA Tour title number 21 at the age of 51, and Tiger Woods' season ended prematurely with his biggest 'missed cut' of the season: no place in the top 125 for the FedExCup Playoffs.
Love proved that you are never too old to win, which should provide inspiration for all of us - especially the over 50's! Who's to say that he won't make the USA team if he carries on this form over the next 12 months?
Meanwhile, Woods put in an admirable effort to qualify for the Playoffs only to undo all his hard work on the par-4 11th where he racked up a treble bogey, which included a dreaded shank. It was a credit to him that he rebounded with four birdies in the last six holes to remind everyone that he might not quite be a spent force just yet.
The meltdown on 11 is something I'm sure we can all relate to. It can be so easy to let something like this affect your mind-set for the rest of the round, but this is where the best in the world show such strong character. Next time you blob a hole or run up a high number, don't let it ruin the rest of your round. Treat the hole as a piece of paper: screw it up, throw it in the bin and move on to the next hole.
