Competition Results
The final of the Pat White Summer Knockout was played this weekend, between Paul Griffiths and Andy Wall. Both competitors have battled through many rounds to get to this stage, so many congratulations to both of them in reaching the final. Unfortunately though there can only be one winner and it was Andy who ultimately triumphed!
Very well done to Andy and thank you to everybody who took part.
During the Summer Andy Wall has been taking lessons with our PGA professional Keely Chiericato, and in particular working on fine tuning his short game in between his competitions. During these sessions he has been able to get a better understanding of how to play various short game shots, and controlling his length of back swing in relation to the shot he's playing.
These sessions have also allowed Andy to get a better understanding of his mental approach to his own golf game. If you would like to book in a lesson with Keely or any of our PGA professionals please click here or give us a call on 01843 590 005.
Please keep your eyes on the noticeboard in the coming days as we will be posting details of our presentation evening for both this event and our other Summer tournaments.

Weekly Junior coaching
This week as usual we had our two weekly junior coaching sessions. Saturday's session was on our short game area and saw our juniors being introduced to some of the more trickier shots around the green, while on Monday evening our class took to the golf course and played some holes.
These sessions are a fantastic way to introduce your children into golf in a friendly and fun environment. There is no need to book and all ages and standards are welcome.
The sessions take place on Monday evenings from 5pm - 6pm and Saturday mornings from 10am - 11am, where our PGA professional's Keely Chiericato & Benj Vernon will be happy to help you.
Cost is just £6.
It's been a really busy Summer for some of our Junior Members at MGC.
Oliver Sexton
Ollie is just coming up to 12 years old and has been a member of our Junior Academy for the past 5 years. He is coached by our Senior Coach David Vernon. Ollie has been busy this Summer playing all over Kent and has had some tremendous results;
In July Ollie became Kent Junior Champion winning both gross and nett at Walmer and Kingsdown with a score of 83 nett 71. In August he was the winner of The Littlestone Junior Open with an 84 gross / nett 71. Ollie played for Kent under 13's against Surrey and Sussex. Kent scored only 6 points and Ollie won his match against Sussex but lost to Surrey on the last hole. He was one of only 2 boys to win a match!!
He also competed in competitions at Princes, St Augustine's, Kings Hill and The Weald of Kent.
We are really proud of his achievements, he is a great asset for Manston as he always supports all of our matches and competitions. A special thank you go to both his parents Peter and Tracey for helping him achieve great things.
Kurt Bryant
Again Kurt is an active member of the Junior Section at Manston and like Ollie has had regular lessons over the past 7 years.

Winner of The Manston Golf Club Junior Open 74 gross / nett 64

Again we are proud of what he has achieved and wish both him and Ollie further success in the future. We offer regular group coaching sessions at Manston and any children interested in trying golf out for the first time please contact David Vernon on 0771 330 9021 or email david@manstongolf.co.uk for more information.
Our busy professionals!
Keely is now back from her Eurpean Odyssey playing the LET Access tour and is focusing on UK events for the next month or so.
