Lady Captain's Day - Tuesday 5th August 2014
48 ladies played on Ros's Lady Captain's Day. The weather held fair despite predictions of downpours and thunder etc. Phil Thomas and Roger Dugdale served drinks and frittata at the pit-stop in the gazebo, and Henry and Babs Kagan kept Ros company as she saw everyone off the first tee and then met them on the 10th.

Ladies Summer Series Improvement Sessions
Last week saw our 2nd session of the series whereby 12 ladies enjoyed the informative yet fun practical session on improving their chipping and pitching skills. There have been reports of various levels of success out on the golf course since the session, but naturally it may take longer than just a lesson before players see the true benefit of attending.
Hard copies of the lesson notes can be collected from the pro shop at any time or if you prefer them to be emailed please check I have your correct email address. The 3rd session is this Thursday at 10.30am and we will be looking at irons and woods.
Strike while the irons hot
As a result of a number of requests and enquiries regarding what follow on opportunities there are from our current series of golf lessons, I have organised a one day improvement session exclusively for ladies.
Please see below details of the 5 hour session which will cover the majority of the areas that most golfers need advice/help to ensure they reach their full potential whilst out on the golf course.
The day will cover aspects of golf including reading putts, choice of shots from around the green, how to hit it further and how best to get accurate tee shots away every time.
Exciting opportunities for members to improve their golf!
Starting this September members of WCGC have a wonderful opportunity to make their golf better as a result of committing to a monthly package of golf lessons at a fabulous price!
A lot of players often say to me what is the best way to improve their golf then follow it up by saying I might have a lesson or two to put right what has taken years to develop. Unfortunately most golfers need to spend more than a couple of lessons to do this, therefore I have put together a monthly package plan in order to best achieve the golfers dreams and aims!
