Biblical storms washed out Saturdays May Stableford after Iain Esplin and Chris Moore had scored 37 points. I think a general play reduction might be needed! All credited to the course and the greens staff who got the course fit for a 1836 Pro Tour event on Sunday which the organiser told me went without a hitch and the greens and course were superb.

The Captain took a fine team to Huddersfield Golf Club (Fixby) and returned with pride in tact with a 3-3 draw. Eddie stood in for me as I was on PGA duties down at Wentworth where it was great to see Rory put the personal troubles behind him and win on European soul for the first time as a professional.

It's Captain's Day (21st June) sign in on Friday at 6pm. You can get your raffle tickets from 5pm. Whilst at the club signing in get your name down for the Casino Royale evening on Captain's Day as there are only a few places left. Invitation Day went live on Friday and there are still places left if you want to bring a guest along for what us always a good day. Click here to get in contact.

Let's hope that is the end of the rain and it's more like 2013 not 2012.
