It's Masters time and for me the best television golf tournament.

Augusta National was a former nursery that's why most of the holes have the name of a plant or tree ,and the golf is played over the most perfect 7500 yard long garden. But not every thing in the garden is rosy, they are closed for almost 6 months as they prepare for The Masters. In addition, out of the 300 members only two are women members that were allowed to join as recently as 2012 and the cost is about $30,000 a year, but since they have members like Bill Gates it's probably not an issue.

I think it's a big ask for Rory to do the Grand Slam but very possible, he is probably helped by the media's curiosity with Tiger who a week ago was 50-1- a very interesting each way bet?

The shop is bursting at the seems with new stock we have had in more Puma clothing Cleveland PING and Callaway bags as well as new Taylor Made and Cleveland wedges.

Our first major winner was Dave Riley with a nett 68 winning by two shots from a chasing pack of 5 players on nett 70 - David Stansfield, Steve Coleman, Gary Hague, Michael Stuart and Antony Brown. The top nine all have prizes to collect, congratulations to Dave and all of the 124 members that played.

We are starting a new ladies group clinic on Wednesday, 6 May 11am-12pm covering all aspects of the game. The groups will be limited to 8 golfers, £6 per hour. Please contact me if you would like to learn in a more sociable environment.
