Hello golfers,

I'm never one to get involved in football, but the last week we have had quite a split in the camp with members from both sides of the club split with their loyalties towards last week's play-off football match between Falkirk and Hibernian. You can always spot a man who is still feeling the effects of a bad result or even notice a smile from 100 yards away of the man who is still celebrating.

I, on the other hand, not being much of a football fan was more impressed with catching our very own LGC member when I flicked over to catch the last five minutes of the game. We all love to spot a celebrity and even better when telling your friends and family "I know that guy, we're the best of friends!"

Step forward Mr Archie Logan. Archie got a full seven or eight seconds of fame on Sky TV last week when cheering on his beloved Falkirk when the full time whistle went. I, on the other hand, couldn't let the opportunity go past me and had to grab a "selfie" with the great man, just to prove to my wife and children that I do actually know that famous guy from the TV!

   

 

Macmillan Cancer Support

It's finally coming round and I'm not looking forward to it at all. That's right everyone, my attempt at 72 holes in one day starts at 5.15am this coming Friday, 20 May. I have to once more say a huge thank you to everyone who has made a donation so far. At present our Just Giving page is sitting just short of the £9,000 mark! The amount of good luck and well wishes have been fantastic and even in the last 48 hours we have had another extremely kind gesture from the local Star and Garter Hotel who have very kindly offered us a bed for the night to rest up before our early challenge. I am expecting approximately four hours sleep on Thursday night in preparation so I hope their beds are comfy.

One last reminder for anyone who has missed out on sponsoring us yet, please click here to make a donation. The weather doesn't look great for Friday, but hopefully we will see lots of you up and around the club on Friday cheering us on!

Our Complete Equipment Solution offer is now into its second week and we have noticed a number of you coming in to take advantage of the FREE fitting and follow up lesson offer which is now available. Whether it's a nice new driver, a set of wedges or even a shiny new set of irons, we would love to get you more from your game and what better way than to test your current equipment against what we have in store. All custom orders are included in this fantastic offer and your favourite Professional, that's me by the way, has lots of options for you to try.

We have shirts starting from as little as £29.99 in a variety of different styles and colours, be sure to act fast to avoid missing out.
