Junior Captain's Day: Sunday 7th August

 On Sunday 7th August, my assistant Steph Curnoe is hosting her Junior Captain's Day in the format of a 3 man Californian Scramble to help raise funds for the junior section. Everyone is welcome to play, regardless of golf handicap. Teams can be made up of any combination consisting of men, ladies and juniors. On the day there will be lots going on such as raffles and auctions putting competition, so donations of prizes would be massively appreciated. Steph is looking for sponsorship to help with the day. If anyone would be kind enough to do so, this would also be greatly appreciated by the Steph and the juniors. 

The Wonderful World of Golf - Any idea who said this?

“Two hours, 50 minutes, and really I don't feel as if I've rushed. Everyone in the scorer's tent and even our own scorer said that was refreshing and it's the way to play golf. I'm sure those of you who are my age were all brought up on a round of golf taking three hours. I was. Even the old boys get around in three hours, you know. Why four and a half hours has become the norm, five hours in major play, I don't know why and how it's become that way. The sooner we get back to trying to play this game at a sensible pace, the better.”

Fact: Henrik Stenson was 40 years, 3 months, 12 days when he won on Sunday at Royal Troon. The last player over the age of 40 to win his first major championship was Darren Clarke at the 2011 Open Championship. He was 42 years old when he accomplished the feat.
