What a difference a week makes. The reports coming off the course this week have been tremendous; a 9/10 from the first society of the spring no less; cut grass, balls bouncing and lots of people playing. Welcome to this weeks newsletter, enjoy the read.

A slow burner...

The WGC matchplay in Austin Texas was a slow one to watch but there were soma highlights nontheless. DJ hit a 489 yd tee shot, Kuchar had a hole one one against Ross Fisher and some of our Ryder Cup players showed the Americans how to do it. It was an all American final, however, as Kevin Kisner took on Bubba Watson. Experience showed as Bubba ran out 7&6 winner.

Watch out for him at Augusta!
