Greetings golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Fulford GC weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course. Enjoy the read.

Guys adventures...

As most of you will know Guy doesn’t go on normal holidays like the rest of us, and this year was no exception. He has travelled to Nepal to take on another mountain, the Renjo LA trip to be exact. This trip will take Guy and Emma up to around 5300m and test their endurance to the limit. While Guy has been away myself (George) and Dan have been doing the newsletter and next week he will be back to tell you guys all about his travels. In the meantime, look at a couple of photos he has sent us.

4 Club Competition

On Sunday we held our annual 4 Club Competition, this gives the members a chance to play the course differently to how they would normally. With only 4 clubs in the bag you need to play some very inventive shots to get round in a decent score. That’s exactly what a few of our members did. Tied for first place were three players; Sid Martin, Josh Plaxton and Matt Kelly all with very impressive 39 points. The eventually winner was Sid Martin who beat the other two on the back 9. Well done Sid and well done to all who played, it certainly wasn’t easy.

Golf’s a tough game

It’s been a fantastic year of golf on the European Tour and so it was only fitting that we were left guessing right until the final hole of the season as to who would be crowned Race to Dubai champion 2017.

For those of you who don’t know, the Race to Dubai is the European Tour’s order of merit title and is won by the golfer who has accumulated the most points over the year - a sure sign of consistency. The higher up the leaderboard you finish in a European Tour event – including the four Majors – the more Race to Dubai points you receive.

Heading into the final event last week, Tommy Fleetwood led the way with only Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia in with a chance of overtaking him. Come Sunday it was Rose, looking to secure his third victory in a row, who was in pole position until an uncharacteristically poor back nine saw the Englishman tumble back into the pack, paving the way for Fleetwood to claim his maiden Race to Dubai title.

To win any OoM title requires consistently good golf over a long period of time, something that we all strive for and something that a series of lessons with us can go a long way in helping you to achieve.
