Tom Lewis turns pro

[viscount17]

This really is a 'time will tell'. He's proven himself to be a good amateur and had some success in his one(?) foray onto the professional stage but . . . Rose was more successful at a similar stage and he went backwards for the first couple of seasons, could struggle at least for a while.
Good luck to him, we need more UK talent out there

I'm never normally like this but I just don't like the lad. I have no sensible reason for this, I just think he's a bit smarmy.

Great win for Tom today, Superb golf. Conducted himself really well all week too, gotta bit of class.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for him to make a name in the pro ranks, it takes time to learn the ropes and more importantly learn to win.

Nostradamus you're not drawboy.

After watching him last week I wouldn't.He's got a way to go yet.

Aint got that far to go Dodge Wish I had a couple of quid on him this week, wasted my cash on Drysdale again!!

 

[pendodave]

yay.

Had pretty much the perfect afternoon today. Played with 2 mates in the most perfect autumn conditions, one putted the last 4 greens, got to the pub for a beer, fired up the iphone and found that Tom had only bloody won it. The three of us have spent many happy hours at Bryan's lessons and Tuesday night sessions, and we couldn't be more pleased if we'd won it ourselves. Fantastic.

As previously mentioned on this thread, him and his old man are top guys. Hope he goes on from here.

On a purely selfish note, hope that Bryan keeps turning up at the range, but I won't hold my breath !

Really didn't think he had it in him after watching a bit of him!!

Interesting to see how he kicks on.

Hi Pendo......I used to go to Bryan's Tuesday night sessions as well....great fun.......maybe Bryan can afford some decent balls at the range now!!!!!!

Where do you play?

 

[pendodave]

Whitehills. One of the best Farmer's fields I've played at ! (meant as a compliment). Though we also play the odd game around and about at places like Brickenden, Panshanger, Chadwell, Mill green and Graveley.

On an evening like today, I don't think there's a better spot in Hertfordshire.

On a windy afternoon it's a bloomin nightmare !

Tuesday nights were part of our golfing week, and it has been a real pain that Bryan has had to stop them. I try and see him here and there, but there's nothing like someone having an eye over your swing without needing the full lesson. Fully agree about the quality of the balls though, couldn't Tom nick a few every week ???

Whereabouts are you ?

I'm at Aldwickbury Park in Harpenden but I used to be at Whitehills!! I was vice captain there in 2003 before I changed my job and had to leave due to moving house. How's Andrew and Keith?

 

[pendodave]

Same as they ever were !!

Small world and all that.

Played Aldwickbury badly last year in a work society (off to Verulum tomorrow). The view from the 15th tee today looking towards the clubhouse with the sun setting behind the rolling hills, shadows in the contours and a few pockets of mist and woodsmoke over towards Dane End was other-wordly. My favourite part of the course at that time of day (I then birdied the 15th and my mood got even better !!)

Haven't played Whitehills since I left....how long have you been there?

Nipped up the Gosling range tonight.....quite surprised to see Bryan there as normal......thought he might have been celebrating after Tom's victory. Congratulated him on Tom's win.
Life's going to be very different from now on......
