Celebrating 50 years

We're celebrating 50 years of golf on Glenrothes Golf Course. That's right! 50 years ago in 1967 Glenrothes Golf Course was first opened for 3 months prior to the official opening in 1968.

On Saturday July 15th Glenrothes Golf Club held the first ever match on the new course, which was a Captain vs Vice Captain event in which at least two current members took part in, they are Charlie Marr and Alex Jackson.

This year the 15th July falls on a Saturday also, and we are celebrating 50 years of competitive golf on Glenrothes Golf Course by Glenrothes Golf Club by organising a fun two man event and hope that as many members as possible will participate in this event. The Sandwedge Eatery will be running the barbeque through the day and I will be involved with special Pro Events, later on in the evening there will be a free Oldies Disco in the clubhouse, with catering available, on request, along with the presentation of prizes to the winning team.

Pro Shop Putting tip

Over the past few weeks I have been watching some of the golf on tv, Rickie Fowler is a favourite of mine and in particular I enjoy the way he rolls in a lot of short putts. I would say he is quickly becoming one of the best "holers out" on tour.

I was quite intrigued by the method he uses of hovering the putter off the ground before he makes his stroke. I gave it a go the other day whilst out playing 9 holes and really felt it made a difference in 2 key areas. Firstly I felt it took the tension out of my hands and secondly the pace and centerdness of strike was immediately improved.

Safe to say I have now adopted this method fro the time being, probably until my next round of "Too many 3 Putts!"
