Warwickshire Day 3 – Broadhurst Moves and moves ….
The sole representative of ‘our’ guys left in the DailyTelegraph Damovo British Masters is Paul Broadhurst, looking to play significant ‘catch-up’ after injury has prevented him from playing for eight weeks. With a pretty impressive fairway hitting percentage (by necessity as the Forest bears more than a passing resemblance to a US Open course), Paul was out in match 32 and lying in a £25 000 or so prize money placing –
British Masters 2004 – Day 3
Rain had swept through during Friday night, and stayed around to great the early starters which included Ian Poulter, Darren Clarke and Retief Goosen, all players who should make it into the NEC Invitational (in Akron later this year) by right.

Past Irish Open winner Patrick Sjoland has been in the doldrums for the three years, having (in his own words) been unable to ‘stop getting head of himself’. Nearly a year working with a psychologist in Sweden showed fruition with a 5th place in Singapore and today he surged to the top of the leaderboard with a 65.
Warwickshire Day 1 – good news and bad.
There were some excellent starts (and very poor finishes) from ‘our’ guys and a story of a transition.

Forget Michelle Wie - here is Carly Booth
Carly Booth, an 11-year-old schoolgirl from Perthshire in Scotland, will take another big step towards golfing stardom when she plays in The Daily Telegraph Damovo British Masters PRO-AM alongside a host of celebrities from the world of sport and entertainment at the Marriott Forest of Arden this week (Wednesday 5 May). She will be following the footsteps of the likes of Darren Clarke around the Arden Course, a full preview of which is available later in this feature.
Webster is feeling good about the week.
Its stopped raining (for the moment) and the Forest is resembling a US Open set-up course with thick rough not too far off the fairways, rough made all the tougher by lots and lots of precipitation. Welcome to Spring in the UK, and what was the trend for years of the B&H, the European Tour slot that the Daily Telegraph Damovo British Masters has taken – was until the last two years when the weather had turned almost summery, with temperatures in the high 60s.
