The Senior Open 2016
As some of you may know already Andrew went up to Scotland to try and qualify for the British Seniors Open held at Carnoustie Golf Club.
Well I'm pleased to say that after a 2 under par round of 69 at Montrose Golf Club Andrew has qualified to play in the tournament alongside legends like Tom Watson, Bernard Langer, Colin Montgomerie, John Daly, Mark O'Meara and many more.
Andrew will update everyone in next week's newsletter.

The Open Medal 2016
To coincide with the Open Championship on Saturday we ran our Open medal competition. With 98 members taking part it was a busy day with some great scores shot. Unlike other medals the 'twist' to this competition is when you sign in you pick a name out of the hat made up of all players who made the cut at the Open.
Then to work out the winners we take the medal score on Saturday and combine it with the tour player's score in the Open on Sunday. Below you an see the top ten finishers from the Open medal and there are a couple who made big jumps up the leaderboard thanks to their professionals score.
1st - M. Munnelly (67) & Darren Clarke (70) = 137
2nd - D. Maw (72) & Phil Mickelson (65) = 137
3rd - G. Mayes (71) & Lee Westwood (68) = 139
4th - P.Stearman (70) & Bubba Watson (70) = 140
5th - M. King (66) & Jim Furyk (75) = 141
Open Medal TWO'S!
Just a very quick note to congratulate the members who entered the two's during the Open Medal as you each got £25 for your TWO!
A special mention must go to John Mynott who got two TWO'S resulting in £50. Well done to you all.
