Video of some members swings.

Whilst waiting to tee off at Broadway I filmed some of our members swings on my camera.  I filmed them at 120 frames per second so they can be slowed down for you to see your form.

The footage isn't great as the sun was over exposing the lens.

Outing to the Broadway Golf Club on 10th April 2013

The first early signs of spring greeted 31 players for our annual home venue at Broadway GC. The course being in very good conditions and members were delighted to play on all main greens which were in excellent condition for the time of year especially as the snow and frost only recently cleared.

Before commencing play the Chairman's cap was presented to Dave Morris following a "misunderstanding" about golf shoes on our visit to Maxstoke Park GC.

The condition and local knowledge of members’ home course resulted in excellent scoring with an average of 33.7 points. Both the ladies who played also beat their husbands’ score!!

The early clubhouse leader was Bill Payne on 40 points but soon to be overtaken by Neville Jelfs on 42 points, this score however didn’t last long as the winner Duncan Beale returned a Society equalling record of 46 points!!! Well done indeed but watch the handicaps review!!

Nearest the pin on the 8th was won by Mike Lewis with Brian Lawrence winning the nearest the pin in 2 on the 14th.

This being the week of The Masters the "swindle ball sweep" was decided by 10th 11th 12th & 13th positions to commemorate Amen Corner. Bobby and Steve Webb with Roger Yeates and Steve Heritage benefitting.

Jon and his team provided an excellent carvery to end the day.

Match Play

The Chairman confirmed that the preliminary rounds of the knockout would be extended by 1 week for the singles and 2 weeks for the pairs, due to Broadway having been closed for nearly 2 weeks

Next Outing

Our next outing is on Wednesday 15th May at Cirencester Park GC. Full detail of the day, which will be a PM start, will be posted shortly. The entry list is now available at the Bell.

Happy golfing
