Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's edition to Hanging Heaton Golf Club's weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week both on and off the golf course.

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

Bickers Cup

This is a competition that most members don’t seem to enjoy but personally I think it’s a great format to be aggressive as it’s only a match play against the course, I think if you can take that mentality into the competition you can make a good score. Winning the competition was Jeff Allott with a score of four up with three scores of two up by Adan Swinden, Colin Potter and Ollie Broadbent. Well done to Jeff and I’m sure it will have been a while since his had his name on the honour’s boards.

Ladies news

It seems the golf season at HHGC is starting to boom...

There are lots of “knockouts” and team matches keeping the course busy, which is good to see.
The Whitby trip is on the horizon for the gents and the ladies keep getting into a huddle re plans for their trips, comps and open events entries. Let’s hope the rain doesn’t dampen our spirits.

Thank you to those who supported the May Day Mixed. Once again, we proved to have a little bit of luck with the weather, only encountering a short light rain shower.

The results as follows:

First place - Gillian Littlewood and Ian Sidebottom - 67 nett.
Second place - Judi Brooke and Francis Nelson - 68.5 nett.

As usual, I am the bridesmaid and not the bride. A big thank you to those who supported the mixed. The list is in the hallway for anyone wanting to play on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday.

The Ladies played a Medal comp on Sunday & Tuesday, results are as follows:

First place - Megan Hutchinson - 75 nett.
Second place - Gillian Littlewood - 81 nett.

I attended my first Race Night at the Club on Saturday arranged by Friends In Deed for their charity. Very much a family night with a lovely atmosphere. Ollie “The Wiggle” Broadbent retained the title of overall winner. It seems he’s perfected the art of riding a pretend wooden horse with a stunning performance in the final.

It’s always nice to see the clubhouse busy on an evening and great to see lots of money raised for a local charity. Well done to all involved.

Happy golfing.

Iron out your game

It doesn’t matter whether you struggle to break 100 or are targeting rounds in the 70s, a set of custom fitted irons will go a long way in helping you achieve your goals. For those of you who think you're not good enough or haven't been fitted before, here's a rough guide to how a custom fit session works.

The rough guide to a custom fitting

• Step 1 – Let’s talk. We use this time to familiarise ourselves with your golf game, your goals and about your current set of clubs.

• Step 2 - You take to the floor. Yes, it's that simple - you hit some golf balls with your own irons so we have a baseline for comparison.

• Step 3 - Hit the latest and greatest. Once you're nicely warmed up and raring to go, we'll give you some irons to try that we think will strengthen your weaknesses and improve your strengths. Take Wilson Staff's D7 irons for example; engineered with RE.AKT technology, these game-improvement irons offer incredible distance whilst maintaining much-needed forgiveness.

• Step 4 - Time to dial in. When we've found an iron model that is outperforming the rest, we'll try out different shafts and lies until we get the perfect make-up for your game.

• Step 5 - Your new irons. Once you've got your hands on your new set, we'll keep in touch to make sure you are 100% happy with your new purchase.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s take your iron game to the next level in 2019 with a custom fitting and let’s give Wilson Staff's D7 irons a go to see if they are right for you.

Battle of the bags

You may remember in the middle of April we brought you the battle of the shoes. Now, as we enter May, it’s time for another contest as we pit one each of PING's stand and cart bags up against each other in the ultimate ‘Battle of the bags.’

Hoofer Lite stand bag vs Traverse cart bag

In the red corner, we have PING's ultra-lightweight Hoofer Lite option. Although being slimline, this bag comes with seven spacious pockets to house all of your golfing essentials and a spacious four-way top.

Facing off against it in the blue corner is the updated Traverse cart bag from PING. Improved upon for 2019, the Traverse comes with a roomy 14-way top, several large pockets and a great choice of colour options with one bound to be tailored to your taste.

Whether you like to carry your clubs around the course or want a larger bag to sit on your trolley and house all of your belongings, we have plenty of options for you to choose from in-store.
