Hello golfers,
Leek Pro-Am to Masters Glory
From the Leek Pro-Am in 2009 to the green Jacket in 2016, congratulations to Danny Willett who, as I'm sure most of you saw on Sunday night, won his first major championship with a faultless 67 final round. We included a piece a few weeks ago about how Danny had played in 2 Leek Pro-Am events and it seemed appropriate to mention it again following his win at Augusta National.
A very good weekend for Danny which also resulted in a good one for Jake, who put his money on Danny to win while his odds were 100/1, some people have all the luck!!
Tee times are still available for the 2016 Leek Pro-Am on Friday 1st July, if you would like to book or require more information please contact the Pro-Shop. Anybody who has already requested a tee time but has not paid please could you drop your money into the Pro-Shop, your time cannot be held if full payment is not received.
Members Team (all 3 players MUST be members) - £175.00
Visitors Team - £200

Rolling back the Years - Dave Nadin
Congratulations to Dave Nadin who had a hole in one at the 9th hole on Wednesday 13th April; despite his willing the ball not to drop, it did disappear for his hole in one.
