Rabbits Captain’s Trip

Well done to the Rabbits Captain Trevor Hooley for organising and finding another good trip venue. The weather was perfect all weekend, the courses were in good condition apart from the walking… the food and service were really good too and the views were spectacular - just a shame that he couldn’t have brought his A game to the trip but we have all had our ups and downs at this game.

Winning the four-man team event on the Saturday were Scot Minto, Mark Whittington, John Jennings and Steve Halloran with 84 points and in second place, winning on the back nine, was a team of Matty Glynn, Steve Hubbard, Dave Whittington and Neil Bates with a score of 82 points.

The winning pair on the Sunday were Mick Foster and Ian Booth with a score of 46 points. I thought the conditions were quite tough and when I got in, I said that this score would win by miles but what do I know... in second place scoring 45 points were the pairings of Matty Glynn, Ian Colquhoun, Jimmy Curley and Mick McGowan.

Invitation Weekend

The booking sheet for the weekend is now open and filling quickly. This year, the event has been brought forward a month and this is catching a few members out. I will try and remind as many of you as I can to avoid disappointment of not get the ideal tee time you would like.

Please book and pay for tee times in the shop.

Ladies news

From the Lady Captain...

Well, it appears I got my horizons and the Whitby & Rabbits trips slightly muddle in my last blog. Sorry gents. All that said, I understand the Rabbits Trip was enjoyed by all.

The ladies played the first card of the Kingsway Cup on Sunday and Monday. A bogey comp which seemingly is not our favourite format. The second card is to be played on Sunday and Monday.

A few of our ladies had a little road trip out to Hull on Monday making the most of the good weather we have recently experienced and enjoying their golf.

May I take this opportunity to remind you all that the list for the Spring Bank Holiday Mixed is in the hallway. Following Spring Bank there will be a break as the next Mixed is not until August.
Please join in and support this comp.

Tickets will go on sale at the weekend for the female vocalist Sadie who will be entertaining us with songs from the 50’s, 60’s and through the decades on the evening of Saturday, 8 June. This is an informal social evening which I hope you will all enjoy.

Happy golfing.

New arrivals...

This week I took delivery of the latest TaylorMade golf carry and trolley bags.

Until the end of May, if you purchase a new golf bag I will give you an hours lesson in the simulator, worth £30, FREE of charge.

Pop in and see what we have to offer.

Simulator warm ups

Just a reminder to members that on a weekend you can pay £2 for a 10 minute warm up session using the simulator.

Can you please pass this information on to all members who you play with and encourage each other to make the most of this great warm up opportunity. I’m sure it’s better warming up in the simulator than doing it on the first two holes…

The golden combo

What would you say if we could show you a way of achieving greater accuracy and longer distance from the tee? You would say yes, right? Well, here’s your answer…

Have you been custom fitted?

First things first, the easiest way to achieve the holy grail of long, straight drives is to find the middle of the clubface every time, which is easier said than done for most of us. Following that, it’s all about launching your drives high with a good spin rate.

Simple, right?

It doesn’t matter how fast or smoothly you swing, if the clubhead and shaft are a bad match for the way you play, your chances of sending a perfect drive into the air will be seriously hampered.

TaylorMade M5/M6 drivers

So, the very first thing we need to do is get you fitted correctly. During the process, we will chat about your game, watch you hit some balls, and assess what you have told us in order to find the right shaft/head combination for your game.

Two clubs that we will definitely try are TaylorMade’s M5 and M6 drivers.

These drivers come with speed injected Twist Face, which offers remarkable ball speeds and distance gains when fitted correctly.

So, rather than going for the easy online purchase, come down to the club for an enjoyable custom fit session with a member of the team.

20 years and counting...

Sergio Garcia's career to date has been nothing short of phenomenal. The Spaniard is a 10-time winner on the PGA Tour and a 15-time winner on the European Tour, he donned a Green Jacket in 2017 after picking up his maiden Major triumph at the Masters, and he is now Europe's all-time record point scorer in Ryder Cup history.

The 1 constant throughout

Some of you may recognise the above image of Sergio, as he recreates one of his most famous moments from Medinah in 1999. Ever since he turned professional, Garcia has trusted adidas Golf on his journey to golfing greatness - a brand that you'll also find in your very own pro shop.

Wear adidas in 2019

This year's range is one of its best yet. The Ultimate365 polo line has been specifically designed for golf, but is stylish enough to be worn both on and off the course. In the footwear department, the Tour360 XT shoe is set to be one of the best-selling shoes in 2019.
