centenary cricket<br />
The cricket committee marked<br />
the Pall Mall centenary with a<br />
match at Lord’s followed by<br />
dinner at the club with guest<br />
speaker Graham Thorpe<br />
(ex-England batsman). A<br />
Centenary Chairman’s XI<br />
battled The Autocrats in a game<br />
with seven England Test Players<br />
including two current England<br />
Ladies. The Autocrats ran out<br />
narrow winners in the last over<br />
thanks mainly to DeFreitas’<br />
explosive batting. The club’s<br />
Malcolm Lea was named Man of<br />
the Match. To get involved in club<br />

Perfect Putting<br />
Putting is without doubt<br />
the most important, yet<br />
most neglected, part of golf.<br />
Here, club golf professional<br />
Will Murray gives his tips<br />
for perfect putting.<br />
1 Keep eyes over the ball,<br />
with feet shoulder width<br />
apart and weight forward<br />
toward the toes.<br />
2 Push the backside out to<br />
counterbalance, and grip<br />
the putter with the lightest<br />
amount of pressure possible,<br />
rocking the shoulders back<br />
and through.<br />
3 The idea is to stroke, not<br />
hit, the ball with the putter.<br />
Although this sounds<br />
<strong>Club</strong> Sport<br />
obvious, it is actually where<br />
most people go wrong and a<br />
common reason for lack of<br />
distance control.<br />
4 Alignment is also an<br />
important factor. Most golf<br />
balls on the market have a<br />
line on the seam but, if not,<br />
with a steady hand use a<br />
black marker and follow the<br />
seam, drawing a thin line<br />
approximately one inch<br />
long on the ball. Use this<br />
mark to line your ball up<br />
with your chosen borrow,<br />
keeping the putter head<br />
perfectly inline with the ball<br />
when putting.<br />
Good luck!<br />
