Wet conditions but course is looking fine

Thanks to the hard work of the Greens chairman Iain Starkie and is team, the course this winter has once again stood up to a tough winter.

It’s advantage Starkie & Pierrpoint as we approach the latter half of the coldest season, with a certain hint of Spring in the air this morning that certainly helped me bounce into work. I even noticed the daffodils beginning to surface!

Under 40?

Stamford Golf club have released prices for under 40’s in an attempt to support an under represented group of members within the club. Like the ladies, the under 40’s will now receive a price discount for full membership every year, not just as a promotion for the first year. After all its these people that have the least time to play golf. Good on you SGC! For more details, you can find the prices on the clubs website, Stamford Golf Club facebook page or email me here.

Winter League

From an 8 point deficit to a 5 point lead in just two weeks. Paul Traynor AKA Mat Man has climbed his way back to pole position having already landed himself 2 Winter League titles (2015 & 2016). With back to back scores of 42 & 43 in week 8 & 9 respectively, with the latter being good enough for a 3 point victory, Paul took full advantage of Steve Moore’s dip in form.

Currently sitting at the halfway stage with 10 events remaining, this is where the league really begins to take shape. There are some impressive scoring averages out there including Kevin Bird, Dave Mills, Daniel Cranmer, Marvin Russell and out there in front with a scoring average some 3 shots better than the field is Dave Allman. But it will be Mr. Traynor that supports the Yellow Jersey for week 10 of the Winter series, but it’ll be the next size up that I think he’ll chose to wear.Game on!

Shoe Sale

We’re no Windsors but then again I don’t believe Windsors sell golf shoes. Get yourselves down to SGC and find yourself a saving of up to 50% off the marked prices on nearly every pair of shoes in stock!

Take a listen to Dennis Batty earlier this week here.

Here’s a pair of Hydrolite size 9 all white, perfect for the summer of the century in 2018. Reduced from £84.95 to just £40.

Hurry while stocks last, these will be walking out the door today, I’m sure!
