It's the Masters time again and I'm sure you, like me, will be glued to the excitement that this special tournament always delivers.

I was fortunate to play the course many years ago and it really is as magical in reality as it is on the tv. The undulating fairways and greens are hard to get used to and the level of preciseness around the greens means only the very best players perform consistently well around Augusta. Even a slightly mishit pitch or chip shot will be punished as the firmness and speed of the greens demands that you are in complete control of your technique.

The tournament is of course wide open with Tiger missing due to back trouble. I would like to see a new winner, someone winning it for the first time. I think Louis Oosthuizen is worth a bet but as you all know my predictions haven't been great over the past few years so I'll leave your betting to your own best guess!! This tournament doesn't begin until Saturday so I would only recommend you hold off till then were you will get great value on players who have made the cut, and perhaps out of contention but you just know they will rally over the weekend. I can't wait!

Our PING fitting night went very well last week. Thank you to everyone and my apologies to those of you who were unable to get an appointment.

Well done to Jessica McNulty who won last weeks PGA Tankard. Jessica had a great score of 39 points. Thank you and well done to all the ladies who played and those who won prizes. We had a great night and it was great to see so many ladies in the club for the presentation. Best of luck to everyone for the rest of the season!
