The big week is finally here, The Open is starting today (Thursday). For any golf fans like myself this is my number one week of the year and the chance to see the world's best competing over at St Andrews is a joy to watch. Luckily I am going up on Friday with my family with the intention of introducing my 15 week old son to the game. All going well and if things go to plan he should be world number one in 15 years' time and I will have retired.......
Professional's day
My professional's day is just around the corner and things are coming together perfectly, the prizes are now confirmed and the tee sheet is filling up. If you have not signed up yet please get in touch quickly to avoid disappointment. I would like to remind you all that I have booked a DJ for some evening entertainment in the clubhouse and I would love for you all to get your other half involved and join us for a night of fun in the clubhouse. Get the babysitters organised and the taxis booked, I am sure this will be a night to remember! I will be on hand throughout the day providing some food and beverage for all competitors and you may even get the chance to meet my young daughter Anna who has promised to come along and help!

Course news
You may have seen our new divot initiative email that went out to the club database this week. This is a positive move from the greens team to ensure that repairs to the course are working as fast as possible. Look out for the divot mix boxes outside the pro shop and be sure to do your bit for the club!
Seniors' Team
Well done to the Seniors' Team who have been on a good run of late and have found themselves jumping up into second place in the Linlithgowshire Seniors' League, I would love to say that this is all down to their fabulous captain Bob Grierson, but to save his head getting any bigger, I will make no further comment...We will need to pray for a collapse from Pumpherston if we have any chance of catching them, but then again stranger things have happened!
Junior coaching
Tuesday saw the second instalment of my FREE junior coaching programme that is running throughout the summer holidays Well done to the five kids that turned up this week (that's nine different faces in two weeks) and thank you for showing so much enthusiasm in your lessons, I am sure we will see a big improvement throughout the summer break.
