History was made over the weekend at Augusta, Hideki Matsuyama of Japan became the first player from his country to win the 2021 MASTERS and a men’s major champion. Well done to Parviz taking out Masters Week fantasy league win and an early lead for month of April. New joiner to league Tom Henderson wasn’t far behind bringing his golfing expertise to the league.
Saturday 10th of April 2021 – Saturday Roll Up Results
Due to windy playing conditions, only 10 members participated in last week’s Saturday Roll Up. Winner was Tony Triggs with 2 under par 38 points. Jack McCracken scored 2 over par 34 points to take the second place. Andrew Ikstrum’s 4 over par 32 points were enough for him to take the third place. No one had a 2 on their scorecard, so we have roll over for this week’s Saturday Roll Up.
Academy News
Hideki Matsuyama wins the 2021 Masters
Justin Rose’s brilliant opening round stole the headlines on Thursday but Matsuyama was just a few shots behind. With the winds swirling and fast greens, Friday was a tough day and then a Hideki master class despite the hour long weather delay on Saturday. In the last eight holes, four birdies and an eagle together with no bogeys put him in a four shot lead with Sundays round remaining.

Schauffele reduced the gap to just four and things started to get a little more interesting on the 15th hole where Matsuyama’s second shot found water. With Schauffele making birdie the gap was just two with three holes remaining however after finding the water on the 16th a triple bogey was recorded all but ending his hopes of a maiden major. Despite finding the bunker on the 18th hole Matsuyama showed real composure and making history as the first Japanese man to win a major.
 
Another stand out result from Augusta was the 24 year old Will Zalatoris, with a near perfect Masters tournament finishing just one shot back he was attempting to become the first player since Fuzzy Zoeller to win in his masters Debut. 
Range Balls
We apologies that range users are finding some inferior practice balls within the current consignment. We have contacted the manufacturer and are in talks to replace over the coming weeks. We look forward to providing an update very soon – Academy Team.
Course Update
Maintenance Mondays!! Another busy start to our week, with our focus on the driving range and academy course with a full rejuvenation taking place. The rejuvenation process involved a heavy scarification, hollow core and top dressed to all tee boxes and greens. The fairway received a heavy scarification and scalp cut. I am looking forward to raising the standards of the academy course for all our residents and members to enjoy throughout the spring and summer evenings.
The 18 Championship Course is starting to take shape nicely with the fescue areas starting to pop and add some great contrast and texture to the course. Some additional native olive trees will continue to be added to the course moving forward helping define and contour some holes. All turf surfaces are recovering very well, we will continue to fine tune and dial in our surfaces for the golfing season ahead.
Over the next few weeks please take an extra few moments on the greens to find and repair any ball pitch marks. The greens will be quiet soft for few weeks after aerating and would greatly appreciate everyone’s support doing their bit to look after our immaculate greens. Please click on the link for short video on how to correctly repair a pitch mark.
