Dear Industry Colleague,

Scottie Scheffler‘s complete dominance of golf is really something to behold. To win four PGA events, including the Masters out of five starts is really special. The only other person to do this is Tiger Woods, and despite completely different approaches to swinging the club, and the general manner in which they go about proceedings, parallels are being drawn.

Credit must go to Tiger Woods for making his record-breaking cut at Augusta, but his form slipped in the third round, and he would not have been pleased to be bookending the field with Scottie so prominently brilliant at the other end. No two people have dominated the US Tour in such a commanding way since Nicklaus and Palmer. 

Ludvik Åberg is also in exceptionally good form and promises much for the future. To finish second in his first major is unquestionably a great start, but after plunging his second shot into the water on the 11th hole of the final round, the result of this year‘s Masters was not really in doubt. He has a long way to go to catch up with Scheffler, but the ease with which he plays, and the lightness with which he conducts himself, he is a joy to watch.

Our golf centre at Grimsby is in the middle of complete change with a new Costa coffee bar replacing the American Golf store and a major adventure golf course due to open shortly. We look forward to running a full feature on Grimsby Golf Centre next month.

The British weather has been testing of late, but it is bound to improve and I’m sure we’ll have a glorious summer extending well into the autumn. I always was an optimist.

Best wishes, 

Colin Jenkins
