Hi All
This is our development web site, here we can try our new looks and ideas before we go live.
Waves of populism and disruptive change are flowing through our world today, and there's no better evidence than the radical simplification of The Rules of Golf being proposed by the USGA and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (see "The USGA Wants You To Rewrite The Rules")
The PGA of America will allow pros to wear shorts during practice rounds of the PGA Championship this year, and it sounds like the tour schedule might flip, with the PGA moving from August to May and the Players Championship from May to March. The Ladies' Golf Union merged with the R&A in January, and maybe even crusty old Muirfield will take in women members now. The European Tour is experimenting with varied tournament formats, and the PGA Tour is rattling the Golf Channel with talk of starting its own TV network.

This years Presentation Evening was held at Ponte Romana in Silves. Another great turnout from our members and guests.
Captain Peter Chapman congratulated all the winners and runners up in the seasons competitions. He also praised the competition orgainisers who again did a great job, not an easy task with the high number of participants.
A host of prizes were awarded and the photos can be seen below.
