So another golfshake event has been and gone with no banditry on show and a whole load of new golfing alliances have been made. Congratulations to Kevin Hewitt who took the honours with a surprisingly up and down round considering he carded 38 points! 2nd went to Winslow Hayles and 3rd went to Mr Hawkins. Thanks to all the guys who came and stayed on the Sunday, the round was very enjoyable and it was nice not having to get up and drive to the course on the Monday morning!

The course was in great condition and luckily the weather held off for both days (at least until I was in the clubhouse!). It was a very hilly course that gave some great views of the surrounding areas. The longest drive and nearest the pin didn’t happen until the 15th and 16th holes respectively, and by then I think a few of the hills had taken their toll on some of the competitors!
David Marshall won the longest drive with a shot into a strong cross wind, that chased my group up the fairway. Many followed with the story of "I hit it longer but it just missed the fairway". It was a small landing area, and so to hit it that straight and long in the wind was a great shot, although it may not have been indicative of his game that day as his son chipped in with "how the hell did you manage that"!

Nearest the Pin was won by Andrew Low on a very short par 3 which seemed to deceive a lot of people as their balls (mine included) ended up in the dry moat around the green.
Once again, a big thanks to everyone for turning up, I hope you enjoyed the day and I hope to see you all at the next one soon.  As always, please let us know what you thought of the event in the forums,  and what you would like to see at future ones etc. Let us know!


Happy golfing
