Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you all of the latest goings-on from around the club.

Enjoy the read!

Tour news

Some very impressive golf...

The BMW PGA Championship is the European Tour flagship event. There’s a celebrity Pro-Am on the Wednesday and we usually attract some of the PGA tour stars. Last week was no exception - America’s Patrick Reed & Billy Horschel both finished in the top 5! Ross Fisher won himself a brand new BMW I8 roadster with an incredible albatross 2 on the par 5 18th on Saturday.

The iconic trophy was lifted by Sheffield’s Danny Willett though with some very impressive golf down the stretch. My one to watch for the week was Bernd Wiesberger, after a slow opening round he finished a respectable tied 17th.

Paul had another good week with not a lot happening in the last round. 16 pars, one bogey and one birdie moved him up to 36th spot in the Race to Dubai which I didn’t realise until last week is now the top 50 players not 60.

Let’s hope he has another good week at the Dunhill this week.

Competition news

The Simon Marron 25th Anniversary weekend

The Simon Marron 25th Anniversary weekend was held recently at Silloth, one of Simon’s favourite courses and was won by Paul Halliwell.

The picture shows all the lads who went. I think a few are breathing in apart from Loz!! I'm also not sure if they played off the Red tees looking at where the photo was taken!

End of Season Stableford

Glynn Bancroft shot the stand out score of the weekend to win the End of Season Stableford with 42 points, followed by Ben Keegan and Kevin Brown with 36 points, who beat Lee Moores on a card playoff.

Division 2 was won by Rob Passingham with 38 points, followed by Peter Watson with 37 points. In third was Ben Watson with 36 points who beat Roy Rotheram & George Scott on a card playoff.

There were 28 Twos worth £5.60 each.

Saturday's Comp - spaces available

There are some gaps on the sheet for Saturday for single players if any of you can now play.

Please book through the website. At the time of writing this newsletter, there are spaces for 3 players at 11.48 & 1.09.

The Ladies St Andrews Trophy

The Ladies St Andrews Trophy which was due to be played on Tuesday was abandoned due to the course being flooded. It will now be played next Tuesday instead of the Stableford.

Winter League

Those of you wishing to play in the Winter League, please enter by the time the shop shuts on Sunday so Clive can post the draw up in the locker room. It's £15 per pair.

Shop news

Callaway have recently had a Clearance deal on some bags so I have some cart bags at up to 30% OFF in the shop.

Starting from ONLY £99, now is the time to upgrade!

Not long left to have your say

Sorry if you're reading this having already completed our Customer Survey - which we know many of you have - but we'd love it if we could get a few more people to fill it out.

It involves answering a series of multiple-choice questions about your golf equipment, both what you currently use and what you'd be interested in using in the future.

They've done it again

Without further ado, let us introduce TaylorMade’s scintillating Milled Grind 2 wedge and look at why it's such a good option to be putting in the scoring part of your bag.

TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 wedges

Now this wedge is quite unique. It's all to do with Raw Face Technology, which increases spin and feel compared with the original Milled Grind.

Not only that but whilst the face rusts over time, the rest of the head will maintain its sleek finish.

They look stunning, they perform superbly and there are plenty of options available from a loft, grind and finish perspective.

All that's left to do now is to come and try them out yourself the next time you're down the club.

Winter is coming

Have you ever noticed how much harder you need to hit your putts in the winter compared to summer? As surfaces begin to slow due to longer grass and wetter greens, the need for a little extra effort on your putting stroke becomes clear.

Should you change your putter?

As putts need to be hit harder to get the ball going the same distance as they do in the summer months, using a heavier putter certainly won’t do you any harm.

The thought here is that a heavier putter will do more of the work for you, allowing for a smooth and more controlled putting stroke.

Whilst still being relatively lightweight compared to some putters in the range (Valor is 30g heavier), PING's Sigma 2 Wolverine putter is certainly an option we'd recommend you trying.

Come and see us in the pro shop and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect putter this autumn.

Spotlight: Boa Fit System

It's not always easy to keep up with the latest trends in fashion or to understand the newest technology that comes to market.

One such thing that we would definitely recommend you trying is the Boa Fit System, which is a replacement for more traditional laces on golf shoes.

We have a brilliant video that explains it in detail if you click the link below but, in short, it allows you to find the perfect fit at just a few turns of the dial - it really is effortless. Come in the shop and try a pair of Boa shoes on to see for yourself.
