Greetings golfers,

Welcome back to my weekly newsletter. This week it's all about Pro's Day and the well deserved winners of some fantastic prizes. Enjoy the read!

Well, where do I start when describing my 2017 Pro's Day? Sunny, warm temperatures, beautiful scenery and worthy winners, the perfect combination to celebrate my eleventh Pro's Day as your professional.
I was greeted by the promised sunshine when I arrived at work on Saturday morning at 06.30am and the weather men for once got it bang on, 12 hours of uninterrupted sun, no wind and plenty of warmth as the day wore on.

Play began at 8am and the last game completed their round at 7.30pm; play moved well all day and the bar and BBQ kept everybody fed and watered.

A full list of winners can be seen below, but now is the time to say a huge well done to the winners: Brian McVean, Brian Moore, Stevie McGowan, & Craig Watson. Their team total of 56.5 was a phenomenal round and credit must go to the lads for keeping going all day and being in fine shape at the prize giving. They walked away with a fine haul including 4 Callaway wedges, 4 x £30 vouchers for Inverkip hotel, a 4 ball at Haggs Castle, 4 spirits, and most importantly of all the Pro's Day Shield.

A huge thanks to my main sponsor this year, Ware With All Greenock, for their support and to McWade Decorators for their now relied on sponsorship.

We had some fun out on course with a few interesting pin positions at 9 & 18. Greg Chamberlain and his team of Jack Broadley, Jack McGhee, & Ross Mcilravey again scooped the best dressed prize with their effort at being ladies for the day.

I couldn't have asked for any more support and this was shown in the raffle with over £400 being raised and donated to the schiehallion unit at Yorkhill through the local Glow for Gold campaign.
