Hi everyone, hope you are all well. I will begin with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped to make Deb's and my wedding so special, we had a truly great day from start to finish, we were both completely shattered at the end of the evening reception, but nothing could dent the specialness of our day. Thanks a million for all the cards and presents everyone has been very generous and we are both very grateful. A special thank you to Paul Davies my best man, he carried out his duties with consummate ease, and made sure everyone was looked after the entire day.
Quite weekend on the football front, a game of two defences in the Manchester derby, Chelsea going down again, I wonder if the special one is going to survive. The baggies managed another win. All in all it's turning into a strange season.
Two good games of rugby with the world cup semi-finals, I think the two best teams have made it to the final, let's hope for a cracking end to the tournament, it's New Zealand for me to be the first team to win back to back titles.
On the results front the October medal was played on Saturday the 24th winners were,
Div 1;
1st M. Barber with a fine 72-5-67
2nd was M. Watt with 78-10-68

Check your alignment
The biggest mistake we see is pupils pointing the body at the target, instead of the clubface, the body should be aiming about a yard to the left of the target. Try and get this right as it has a major impact on ball flight. Hope this helps, book a lesson to get it explained in detail, if you struggle.
Hope you all have a great golfing week.
Regards Robin
