The turnout for Professionals Day was once again fantastic. 207 players took part and I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support. The weather was great for a change and this was reflected in the scoring. The Men's competition was won by Mike Wallis, Ben Wallis, Chris Bate and Andrew Evans with a superb 95 points. 

Mike and Ben are usually on holiday when Pros Day comes around, regardless of this Mike has always shown great support for the day by providing numerous fantastic prizes over a number of years to boost the Raffle Prizes, and I would like to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you.
