Greetings golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of our weekly newsletter. From course records to golfing habits we do and don't recommend, this week's newsletter is a must read for all golfers! We have lots happening in the shop at the moment too, so be sure to pop your head in next time you're here and take a look around.

A successful year at Hanging Heaton GC...

What a fantastic year the club is having, all sections of the club are doing great. The scratch team have now been promoted to Division one, which has never been achieved in the clubs history. The 8-15s have also been promoted back to the top Division, Heavy Woollen team are basically unbeatable, Rabbits are one victory away from promotion, and the Junior section in the semi-finals of the Halifax-Huddersfield Union play offs.

Well done to all players that are involved.

Captains' and Presidents' presentation

Friday evening is the Captain’s and President’s Presentation, hopefully you as members will come up to the club to support them and congratulations to all winners.

Like London buses…

Witnessing a player shoot a course record is something rather special, but having three golfers card the same course record in a major tournament is unheard of – until now. Kingsbarns hosted the Ricoh Women’s British Open last weekend where Jodi Shadoff, Michelle Wie and Inbee Park all signed for course record 64s, albeit in vain as Korea’s I.K Kim triumphed on Sunday to claim her maiden major victory.

Across the pond, at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, Hideki Matsuyama stole the show with a scintillating nine-under-par 61 on Sunday to secure his sixth victory in his last 20 starts. Another man showing form going into the USPGA Championship this weekend is Rory McIlroy, who, alongside his new caddie, managed a T5th finish at the WGC to follow up his T4th position at The Open a couple of weeks ago.

Both golfers are sure to be among the favourites at Quail Hollow come Thursday morning, but will it be Spieth's time to cement his place in golfing history by completing a career grand slam at the tender age of 24? We can't wait to find out...
