Harry Hall Golf Day - 17th May 2014
A fantastic day was had by all on Saturday 17th May for the Harry Hall fundraising golf day. Blessed with perfect sunny weather, with a shotgun Texas Scramble format. A great day was had by all with £3210.00 being raised that will now be forwarded to the Cornwall Golf Union to help with Harry's expenses for his playing schedule this year. On behalf of Harry, can I reiterate the thanks to everyone who supported the day. West Cornwall Golf Club is very proud of him, and I'm sure you will join me in wishing him every success this year and into the future.
The results were:
1st - Harry Hanson, Matt Richards. Chris Merriman, Gary Wignall - Score 53.3
2nd - David Jones, Charlie Evans, Mark Perry, Craig Darlow - Score 54

Learn Golf In A Day - Thursday 29th May
I'm sure most of our members at West Cornwall Golf Club know someone who in the past has said they would have liked to have learnt how to play golf, but then proceeded to reel off excuse after excuse why they hadn't? The common excuses include things like,
"It takes too long to learn, it's too expensive and I don't have any clubs!"
To address this situation, Matt Tucknott PGA Professional at West Cornwall has organised a "Learn Golf in a Day" session which is aimed at all those people you know that probably should be playing golf now but sadly don't. On Thursday the 29th of May starting at 9.30 am you have the opportunity to come along to a fun packed 5-hour session where the group of new players will be shown all the various skills needed to get playing golf this year.
All equipment will be provided, and by the end of the day everyone taking part will feel one step closer to being able to start playing golf. The cost of this unique day session is only £25 and it would be advisable to book up ASAP as spaces are limited. For further information or book onto the above course please contact Matt on 07516 637816 or 01736 753177, or click here to get in touch.
May 1/2 term holidays junior Golf Development sessions
"National Golf Month" is continuing to promote increased participation in golf, and throughout the Country golf clubs like ours at West Cornwall have been introducing more and more new players to the sport. Next week during the school holidays, West Cornwall Golf Club's Professional Matt Tucknott has organised a day of junior golf development sessions for not only our current junior members but also for new young golfers hoping to start playing.
So whether your children are already members, or whether they just want to "Get Into Golf" this may well be the kind of fun session to get involved with this holidays. If you do have any questions or would like to book onto one of the sessions please contact Matt Tucknott in the Pro Shop.

As part of the National Golf Month, West Cornwall Golf Club's Professional Matt Tucknott organised and delivered a successful Get Into Golf Session at the nearby Hayle Golf Range. The 2-hour session was aimed at new golfers who might have in the past thought their disabilities or learning difficulties were a barrier to learn golf. The day was a great success with over 14 new people being introduced to golf and proving that Golf can be an all inclusive sport enjoyed by all.
West Cornwall Golf Club is now looking at future dates in the year ahead to organise follow on groups/sessions so that we as a club can do our part in making golf as easy as possible to become as inclusive as possible. Please contact Matt to find out about further events planned for the National Golf Month which we are currently in and supporting.
