You can't win them all...!!!

On a hot sunny day last weekend I was was delighted to win the Golfino Invitational event. Hosted by the Martina and Sandra, from Golfino Clothing, this event saw some 60 plus golfers taking on the links...

Shooting a stableford score of 41 points was a suprise - it was just one of those days when the game just 'clicked'. Those of you who play golf will know this feeling. It's very hard to replicate but gives us all hope and inspiration to play more!


After the event there was even a fashion show with some of Golfino's latest catalogue being showcased on the catwalk - if you like golf fashion then you'll love Golfino. The day ended with a delicious pizza supper and high hopes for more good golf.

So, it was with high hopes that I entered the Kedleston Park Seniors competition the following Sunday.

All was going well and after 7 holes I was only two over par, so on track for a good score so it seemed...that was until a mind blowing (in the wrong kind of way) five over on the notorious 7th!

This simple 153 yard par three over water has scuppered many a good round and mine on this day was no exception! I put two balls in the water...then after a five off the tee ended up making a soul destrying eight, thus using up over half my handicap allowance.

Just like life, golf deals us highs and lows and we should never take a good score for granted - enjoy the good times and forget the bad...!!!

If you fancy a game of golf anytime and wish to discuss your next project on the course then give us a call on 01332 291141 and we can tee it up!

Its not just about us is it..?!!!

I know we all like to blow our own trumpets from time to time, but sometimes our business 'rivals' deserve a mention too!!!

This is David and Denise Leatt of Three Sixty Media who are good friends of mine. The photo shows them being presented with one of five cups for their golfing triumphs at Kedleston Park this season by the Lady Captain and Captain.

We often play golf together and I am delighted that they did so well. Denise, having taken up golf only three years ago has improved coming down from the mid thirties to 25 and David who has managed to get his handicap down to 6 this season, (no mean feat given that he only plays about 6 times a week!)

Well done you two, lets hope that 2019 brings you more second places..!!!
