St Lukes Charity Day and Invitation Day
The golf season is now fully up and running and Abbeydale has been a busy place this last week. The St Lukes Charity Day was very well supported and the view from the golf shop that morning looked like this:
Unfortunately the weather was a little different the next morning for Invitation Day and due the conditions we had to cancel the event.
The new date for Invitation Day is Saturday, 8 July, let's hope for much better weather.
The Second Major of the Year
Erin Hills takes centre stage this week as the US Open rolls into town for the very first time.
It's probably the closest course America has to a links course we see every year at The Open with its tremendously undulating greens and fairways, not to mention the ridiculous 8,100 yardage from the back tees. Be sure to click on our Video of the Week here to view the course for yourself.
So who's in with a chance of winning? Well, accuracy off the tee is going to be paramount; not just to give the pros the best opportunity to hit the right portion of the green, but also because if they're two yards wide of the fairway then they're sure to be hacking out sideways from the two-feet tall rough.
Reigning champion Dustin Johnson is the unsurprising favourite heading into the week having been in incredible from with three wins already this year. Can you see past the world number one?
