Four Ball Better Ball Campionship

Four Ball Better Ball Championship

Congratulations to Paul Conroy and James Fallon on winning the Four Ball Better Ball Championship. Paul and James compiled a total score of 97 points over the two rounds played at Portrush Golf Club and Ballyclare Golf Club respectively to win by a comfortable margin of nine points.                                                                                  

Over the course of the two rounds Paul compiled a fantastic score of four over par in what was extremely difficult conditions over the two days. 

In second place as mentioned a considerable margin of nine points behind were Conall Murdock and Dylan Carton with a total score of 88 points. Conall and Dylan worked very well together as a team with a very solid score over the two days with totals on both days being 44 points.

In third place a further seven points back on a total score of 81 points were Alex Hanneffy and Keelan Evans. Their score improved significantly from the 36 points they had in the first round to compile a total of 45 points in the second round.

Winter Training Trip CONFIRMED

We're all booked and very much looking forward to our winter training trip to Spain in January. A new location for us this year, the Mar Menor Golf Resort and Spa, located just an hours transfer from Alicante. The resort boasts 6 Jack Nicklaus design golf courses and will provide our students with plenty of variety and different challenges along the way.

The students will be staying in apartment style accommodation and mixing up the week with rounds of golf, coaching sessions, competitions and lots of fun, all out in the Spanish sunshine (hopefully!).

The winter trips are not only an escape from the temperatures back home but also a great chance to continue the programme work and game improvements made so far already this year.

Fitness Testing Results

Last week the students completed all of their fitness testing for term two with a fantastic pass rate of 75% across the class. The testing incorporates all aspects of fitness with the pass mark for this term set at 140. In order to pass the test a pass mark of 140 plus needs to be achieved as well as passing six or more of the components of the test. Throughout the remainder of the term the students will be taking part in at least two fitness sessions per week to encourage a steady progress onto the next term.

Pro Am Team Confirmed

Over the last two weeks the students have been competing on an individual basis to qualify for a three man team to play in a Pro Am with Programme Manager Andy Peoples. The three deserved students to qualify are Paul Conroy, James Fallon and Conall Murdock. All three student performed consistently well over the course of the two rounds and we certainly hope that they can re produce this form for the team. The Pro Am will be held at Kirkistown Castle Golf Club on Monday 27th November. Best of luck lads!
