Hello Golfers,

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

Enjoy the read.

Club news

Heaton Cup

What a score, 58.5, 62 Gross...incredible! The most inform pair in the club, congratulations to Scot Minto and Steve Dodsworth, Scot over the last couple of months has played some great golf and his handicap is back to plus 1. Steve was leading after the first round of the President’s Weekend but unfortunately, had to go away with work meaning he missed out on the play-off. Greensome format isn’t an easy game to play with there being quite a bit of pressure but this didn’t affect these two.

In second place only a shot behind on 59.5 was Trevor Armitage and Dave Barker, again two golfers who are playing good golf. Trevor has had a few high finishes over the last couple of weeks and Dave has played well representing the Rabbits section, well-done guys.

Tour news

The Open

Only a week away before the best Major begins, a great field, who will win? My picks are Ian Poulter, Kevin Kisner, not sure it will be one of the big hitters if so I would go for Dustin Johnson but all the players will rely on the luck of the draw. The wind and conditions can change throughout each day creating problems for each group of players, fingers crossed the forecast will be good.

Anyone who has yet to enter in the Pro’s Open draw just let me know if you want to enter. The cost is £5 and the field for the picks will be sent out on Monday.

Captains news

Captain’s Trip

This weekend we head to Slaley Hall and the weather forecast looks good. I’m sure both courses will be in good condition, both are tough so not expecting low scores, I hope Chris our captain has a great weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Ladies news

A message from the Ladies Captain...

Having just returned from a Spanish mini-break, my words this week will be brief! Me brief, unusual I know. Whilst basking in 30 degrees, I was delighted to receive the results from the weekend competition - the Sue Golembiewski Trophy.

The winner Sue’s dear friend Jennifer Wales with a nett 60, well done Jen. In second was Julie Oates with a nett 70 just beating Debbie Spender who also had a nett 70.

We are quickly approaching my Lady Captain’s Day on Sunday. l hope a little bit of the Spanish sun has followed me home. Ladies come along, enjoy the day and play well. I also look forward to seeing the juniors at the first tee on Saturday. A busy weekend for all as Mr Captain and the gents are away for the Captain’s weekend at Slaley Hall, I am sure the trip will be a great success.

May I take this opportunity to thank Nigel for keeping us all up to date with competition results whilst Alan is away.

Happy golfing.

Hands up...

...if the only time you 'practice' your wedge play is when you hit a few shots at the start of your warm-up routine? Sadly, this isn't going to lead to a dialled in wedge game, which is one of the fastest ways to see your scores come tumbling down.

1 club. 3 swings. 3 distances.

Sounds easy, right? Well, it could be but first there are two things you must do in order to start saving shots.

1. Correctly gapped wedge system - What we mean by this is having an equal gap between each club in your bag, so you're never left trying to 'manufacture' a shot on the golf course (this is where large numbers start). PING's Glide 2.0 Stealth wedges are perfect for exactly this reason, coming in a range of lofts from 46 (PW) to 60 (LW) degrees so you have every distance covered with your wedges.

2. Have 3 distances with each club - As per the graphic above, if you became comfortable with full, three-quarter and half swings with each of your wedges, you’ll find that your wedge play becomes seriously more effective.

So now you know the secrets to lower scores, it’s time to utilise our expertise and professional advice in order to start unlocking your full potential with your wedge play. Come and speak to a member of the team next time you're at the club.
