Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Hanging Heaton Golf Club's weekly newsletter. This is a first for me writing this newsletter at 36000ft coming back from Rhodes, to be fair I’m not the best flyer but this is keeping me busy.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

Eddie the eagle wins at Walton Heath!

Pepperell wins the British Masters, not many will be able to say they led the tournament all four days
Eddie is the new modern golfer. He is massive now in the twitter world saying what he thinks if somebody puts a disagreeable tweet on I often retweet what he has to say, if you are on twitter you have to follow him. With this win, he is now 33rd in the world and now also guarantees him an invite to Augusta to play The Masters.

Valderrama

This week it’s the final chance for the guys below 110 in the European Tour order of merit to save themselves the torture of going back to the tour school, a lot of pressure and surprisingly some big names struggling to keep their playing rights for next season. The venue Valderrama, what a place, manicured to perfection but probably the hardest and unfair golf course on the rota, I think last year 8 over par made the cut.

The only way I can describe it is that the greens are the speed of a basketball court with big slopes you would be happy to thee putt most greens. If you have time this week watch it, makes some of the best look very average. Maybe I should run a trip to Valderrama and Sotegrande but won’t be the cheapest of trips but if it’s of interest to any of you let me know.

Competition news

Pro’s Competition Results

This weekend I split the days up and tried to make a couple of different formats, the weather wasn’t great, but hopefully from now on separating the days will create more interest. Please give myself and guys in the shop your feedback positive or negative, should the club do similar on their competition weekends?

Saturday - 4 Person Team 1,2,3 to score

Congratulations to Andy Bradley, Neil Bates, Sam Wilcock and Danny Stott on winning the above competition with a score of 77 points beating Ian Colquhoun, Dave Kilvington, Jeff Allott and Jon Allott on the last 6 holes.

Sunday - Fourball Betterball Stableford both to score on Par-5s

Some score winning on Sunday with Scot Minto and Joe Ratcliffe 45 point closely followed eight points behind Trevor Hooley and Darryl Newman on 37 points.

Studio news

Simulator

Hopefully, while I’ve been away things are starting to move forward and fingers crossed we have enough slots sold to move this forward.

Over the next few weeks, any member who has any questions please come and ask, we want the simulator to be a benefit to all members in some form, understanding the technology for one thing and this is all new to me too, again positive and negative questions can be answered and explained.

Used and advertised correctly this can create a lot more income, which will help the committee invest into more projects keeping the course and club updated to a high standard.

Once we start moving forward with the build we will use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media, the committee wants all members to share, post, use word of mouth. There are a lot of clubs golf and sports who won’t have used this technology, one share from you could create one more new member let’s get behind this and support it fully remember ‘if the club wins we all win’.

Accuracy over distance

If you watched the Ryder Cup last month then one thing should have become clear to you: finding the fairway off the tee is a must. Whilst distance does help, there's no point thrashing a drive as far as you can if you don't hit the fairway, finding yourself cutting down trees as a result - as depicted in the illustration below.

Find the short stuff

In order to shoot lower scores, you need to put a premium on finding the fairway, something that a custom fitting for PING's G400 Max driver will certainly help with. It is PING's highest ever MOI driver, which means the G400 Max is its most forgiving driver to date, whilst still boasting a piercing ball flight like the other three models in the G400 range.

Shake off a shower

As winter approaches, we can expect a lot of things with one certainty being rain, and a lot of it. We all know what this can lead to - feeling soaked out on the course, a barely readable scorecard and, in some cases, just a generally miserable round of golf. Enter, golf-specific waterproofs….

Installed with PING's SensorDry technology, the Zero Gravity Tour jacket is designed specifically for waterproof and windproof protection. It's also cut in lightweight and noiseless fabrics for virtually no distractions when you're making your swing. The Pertex Shield and sealed seams give you the best protection from the wind and rain where you need it the most, meaning those disgruntled feelings of being drenched during your 18 holes will be a thing of the past.

Video of the Week

There's a difference between the longest iron in your bag and the longest playable iron in your bag, which is an area that TaylorMade's GAPR clubs fit perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed my newsletter. If you need any more help or advice please contact one of us in the pro shop and we'll be delighted to help. Gareth and the golf team.
