SOMETHING YOU MAY NEVER SEE AGAIN!!
Here is a sight you will probably never see again, die hard Liverpool fan Phil sporting an Everton shirt last Saturday as Everton took on Man City at home needing a win to help keep their arch Rivals in with a shout of the league title, disgraceful behaviour by Phil but all to no avail.

Lombard Trophy
Congratulations to John Birchall on a fantastic score of 71 gross nett 64 on Saturday, winning the New Memorial Trophy, and also qualifying for the Lombard Trophy which is the UK'S biggest Pro Am Tournament.
John and I now play at Pleasington Golf Club in the regional Final on the 19th of June where the winners will go forward to the Grand Final at Gleneagles in September, just a couple of weeks before it holds the 2014 Ryder Cup Matches.
I have been lucky enough over the years to get to the Grand final on 2 occasions, once with Dave Mawdsley in the Bahamas and also with Ste Robinson to San Lorenzo in Portugal.
Lets hope John and I can play well at Pleasington and book our place at Gleneagles.
The entry for the Lombard is an optional £2 extra on top of the normal entry fee for a chance to play in one of the best events of the year, and as Ste Robinson says every year, the best £2 he has ever spent!!

Your lie reveals the truth
We recently gave a lesson to a mid-handicapper who just could not stop his irons going left. The shot had been plaguing him for 18 months. He was aware that period coincided with using his latest set of clubs, bought off the shelf; but like many, he didn't want to be a bad workman blaming his tools.
We'd never argue against the importance of sound technique; but in this case, the solution was gear-related. This golfer's lie angles - the angle between the sole of the club and its shaft - were too upright. At address the club's toe was in the air, and at impact the heel was catching the ground, twisting the face shut. Not only this - as the toe rises, clubface loft makes the face aim further left. A simple lie adjustment later, his pull instantly vanished.
It can be hard to tell whether your shot pattern is rooted in equipment or swing issues, but our expertise in both allows us to diagnose the problem straight away. If our friend had done that, he'd have save himself 18 months of pain. We're here to make sure you don't suffer the same fate. Click here to contact us about your poor shots.
