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.

Competition news

Pro's Competition

With the weather, the competition was cut to the Saturday morning results. The guys who played in the afternoon will get the fees credited to the next Pro’s Competition end of August.

The plus side was the simulator kept busy so still members around buying drinks and snacks.

The winners were S. Ruecroft and T. Ruecroft with 43 points winning £20 each on a better back nine. In second place were T. O’Donovan and N. Walsh winning £15 each on 43 points and in third was J. Senior and S. Adkin also with 43 points but the worse back nine winning £10 each.

There were two members with two’s on the card winning six balls each.

Ladies news

Lady Captain's News

What a weekend! Rain and more rain, it was certainly wet and miserable with no golf at HHGC.
Always a tough decision for Mr Captain to make to close the course. But as I wandered round a very wet track early on Sunday morning (and from a purely selfish note), I was relieved to receive the closure news.

This week brings last-minute planning for my Lady Captain’s Trip to Rudding Park at the weekend. A great course and a beautiful location. I hope and pray the weather is kind to us. I am sure there will be a story or two to tell next week.

May I take this opportunity of thanking Bob Pearson (Wednesday Lads Captain) who invited me to be the “starter” for his captain’s trophy this week. I fully enjoyed the experience. As you will no doubt imagine there was a little bit of banter here and there on the 1st tee, all in good fun. The Wednesday lads have always been generous in their support of the ladies autumn fayre held each October, therefore I was delighted to be able to give a little back today and to help my old mate Bob.

Thank you gents for your hospitality.

Happy golfing.

Pro's news

FedEx starts next week

I will collect entries this weekend for the three-event FedEx play-offs. The cost is £10 with usual three pick selections each week but the field cuts down from 125 to 70 and the last week only the top 30 play.
I will explain each format weekly.

Club news

Our Scratch Captain does it again...

What a result for Scot Minto in the Yorkshire 9-hole team Championship at Crows Nest, Scot shot a 66 to equal the course record and missed a putt of around 8ft for a 65. A great score and his golf just get better, he won the individual by a shot beating the European number one amateur Ben Schmidt who has recently won the Brabazon Trophy and Carris Trophy over the last month. Well done Scot keep flying the flag for HHGC.

Get more iron in your diet

If you're looking for a new set of irons there is so much choice out there that it can become a little bit of a mine field. So, why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Wilson Staff's D7 irons could well be the perfect addition to your bag?

“The new Wilson Staff D7 irons is going to help deliver the distances and forgiveness mid-to-high handicappers are looking for”

So, now you've seen them, why not give them a go? Our expertise will help you through the fitting process to make sure the investment you're making in your game actually results in better scores. After all, what’s the point of getting the best set of irons if they aren’t perfectly suited to your swing?

A ball for every occasion

Let’s be honest: we're greedy when it comes to our golf ball, and rightly so. We don’t want to have to choose between distance or feel; instead, we want a ball that offers us the lot.

Picture the scenario

You’re out playing a round with your friends and you've just used your ball to hit a delicate flop shot over a bunker to a few feet and knocked it in for par - top job! Following a short walk to the next tee, you’re then stood on a par-5 needing to smash your Sunday best as far down the fairway as possible.

This scenario requires a ball that is versatile enough to offer you spin and feel around the greens, whilst providing explosive distance and a high launch from the tee.

Consider TP5/x from TaylorMade

Fortunately, the clever folks at TaylorMade know a thing or two about golf balls, which is why their TP5 and TP5x balls are used by some of the world's best golfers, such as McIlroy, Fowler and DJ.

Here's what you can expect from both:

TP5 - lower launch, more workable and a softer feel
TP5x - piercing ball flight and best wind performance

These are balls that you need to try, so come and speak to a member of the team for more information.

Spotlight | PING Glide 3.0 wedges

Smooth when it's rough

There's no part of your game more important than your wedge play.

If you really want to lower your scores and reach your full potential, improving your short game is key and these beauties from PING will certainly help you on your way - as long as you're fitted for the correct grind and bounce.

The Glide 3.0 produce greater spin, a softer feel and are more forgiving than previous generations. Enough said.

Video of the Week

With the Ashes beginning at Edgbaston this week, we thought this would be a great opportunity to show you this video as Jimmy Anderson took on Stuart Broad in the European Tour's 14 Club Challenge. Who came out on top?
