Competition news

Pro’s Competition Weekend Results

There were two separate competitions held over the weekend, Saturday was a Yellow/Pink Ball competition and on Sunday was a 6,6,6 four-person team competition. The weather over the weekend was good for this time of year and it’s looking like it’s going to carry on over the next week or so.

The winners on Saturday were Steve Clay, Steve Leather, Kim Walker, Matt Whitehead with a score of 117 points winning on the back nine.

Sunday winners were Tony Hill, Mick Foster, Steve Adkin, John Senior with a score of 82 points winning by three points.

Ladies Medalford Results

Another win for Meg...incredible run of wins, looks like the ladies need to step up their games. Meg won by six with a score of 16, four ladies tied for second place with Faye Williams winning with a better back nine of 16 points.

Simulator news

Simulator Progress

Work will be finished this week on the new renovations. The simulator will be fitted on Monday 11th March, taking around three days with the opening of the simulator around the 20th. A lot more news and offers over the next few weeks, so keep a look out for more info.

Pro's news

HHDUGC Alliance

On Tuesday, myself and Steve Leather played at Crosland Heath scoring a respectable 39 points. Scot Minto and Joe Ratcliffe also played and finished second in the Am/Am with a great score of 45 points well done lads.

On Tuesday 5th March, HHGC is holding the next alliance, this means unfortunately the course is closed for members for social golf but it’s open to any pairs of members who wish to play. The cost is £40 per pair including a meal after, anyone that’s interested in playing let me know ASAP, so I can get you entered, entries will close by next Wednesday.

Tour news

WGC Mexico

This week is the first of the World Golf Championship events, played at 7800ft above sea level. I’m sure those who will be watching the event will see drives over 400 yards. Tiger has found some early form, just hope it doesn’t take them all over five hours to play 18 holes, it’s certainly looking like the new rules aren’t working correctly.

Good luck to all members who have entered the WGC Mexico Draw.

Shop news

New Products for 2019 arriving…

The new range of adidas spring/summer will arrive first week of March featuring some fantastic clothing and footwear.

Practice facility

Please note

I’m sorry to have to do this but from this weekend, members will have to use their own golf balls to practice. Over the last few months and especially on a Sunday, members who practice using tubes of balls from the shop aren’t collecting them up, and on a Monday morning I spend the first hour collecting over 150 balls from the practice ground and picking up tubes just left abandoned on the mat area.

Tubes of balls will be available to purchase if required.

Get a grip. Literally...

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about...

How old are your grips?

Losing control during your swing?

If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in?

You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced.

The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time.

As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out.

The winds of change

As we make our way through February, you may begin to notice feeling warmer at the end of a round compared to previous weeks. Yes, spring is well and truly on its way, and that means you’ll need to dress accordingly – after all, no-one wants the faff of continously putting on and taking off layers when searching for the ideal outfit.

The perfect layering piece

We present to you this stylish Go-To Adapt jacket from adidas.

Yes, it looks great and fits perfectly too - not too tight that you'll feel self-concious and restricted, but not too baggy that the butt of the club gets caught during the swing.

But our favourite feature is its fleece-lined shell, which really helps to combat the chill when the breeze is up, as well as its stand-up collar providing added protection from wind and rain.

Spotlight: TaylorMade Spider X putter

If you're after a club that has been a true 'game-changer' then the Spider putter from TaylorMade certainly fits the bill.

Instantly recognisable by both its colour and innovative head shape, the new Spider X putter comes with the brand new True Path alignment and improved stability to help you line up your putts better, as well as offering fantastic forgiveness through impact.
