Competition news

Founder Members trophy

A great weekend of scoring in the qualifying round of the Founder Members, leading the way Trevor Armitage with a nett 60, and eventually losing 3 shots off his handicap, followed closely in second place with a nett 61 Dr Golf John Wilcock.

We also had a hole in one on the 7th, congratulations to Barry Thompson, he also takes half the 2’s pot so he gets £55 credited to his Pro-Shop account. Unfortunately for all the members that got 2s they will only get 2 balls per two...

Wednesday’s play-off was close, Trevor shot a level par 69 nett to finish with a total 129. Could anyone challenge him? Martin Howe shot another 65 to finish on 130 and then followed by our Club Captain who also shot 65 to finish on 132.

Congratulations to Trevor on winning the Founder Members Trophy, some great scores over the two rounds.

Ladies news

Lady Captain's report

Last week passed so quickly with a kick start to golfing matters on Wednesday as I acted as starter for the Wednesday lads, then quickly into the presentation evening on Friday followed swiftly by my weekend and Lady Captain’s Trip to Rudding Park in Harrogate.

A little bit of a different style on Friday as Mr President, Mr Captain and I made a decision to add my presentation for the Lady Captain’s Junior Comp to the evening. A nice event which was completed with a few spins on the decks from our very own vinyl DJ Jukebox Jazzy John.

Lady Captain’s Day & Lady Captain’s trip are two of my favourite golf events, to be on the other side and to be the host rather than an attendee is another matter, but both experiences I have fully embraced and thoroughly enjoyed. The staff at Rudding Park fell over themselves to make the weekend a success. The automatic lawn mowers, sensory lights and pop up plugs did cause much amusement to Ms Past It Julie Oates and myself and our attempt to gain access into the Hotel cinema was weak. Yes the Hotel has a cinema!! Without a doubt Mr Minto and members will have a fab time there next year.

The winners for the weekend are as follows:-

Saturday 3rd August – Individual Stableford

1st – Debbie Spendler, 2nd – Danielle Sidebottom, 3rd – Wendy Lourie

Sunday 4th August – Team Waltz

1st – Faye Williams, Megan Hutchinson & Ruth Lockwood
2nd – Judi Brooke, Carol Button, Gillian Littlewood

Happy golfing.

The simple shoe equation

Mathematics can be a complicated subject with all that pi, algebra and calculus floating around, but there is one simple equation we can all understand:

uncomfortable golf shoes = a miserable time for all

Let’s break down this equation further

The main problem here is that walking on hard ground for four hours/18 holes in the summer months can take its toll on our feet.

Blisters and bleeding are common signs that something isn't quite right and the issue will only be exasperated if your golf shoes are worn, cracking or ill-fitting.

So, what’s the answer?

After running the numbers through our super-computer, we end up with a pair of golf shoes that are designed for comfort, like adidas’ Tour360 XT.

It boasts Boost cushioning, which will have you feeling like you’re walking on clouds every step of the way. Why not pop in the shop and try a pair on this summer?

Adjust to your surroundings

Driver adjustability has been a marketing buzz term for a number of years now, but how much of a difference will it really make to your game? Well, we decided to find out.

We could bamboozle you with tech speak when it comes to adjustability but there are two key ways in which today's drivers can be adjusted to suit your swing, making a custom fitting more important than ever before.

Hosel adjustability

The first is the ability to adjust loft and lie angles in the hosel. If you're launching your driver too low or high, hosel adjustability allows us to add or take away loft until we get the perfect launch conditions for your swing.

Perimeter weighting

The second is the ability to adjust weights on the sole of the head to favour either a draw, fade or neutral shot shape.

Take TaylorMade’s ultra-fast looking M5 driver for example. An inverse T-Track boasts two movable 10g weights (as well as an adjustable hosel) that we can position during a custom fitting to help counteract your bad shot.

Missing your drives right?

For example, if you're struggling with a miss to the right, we can put the weights in the draw setting to promote a right-to-left ball flight that will straighten up those leaky misses right. Come and speak to a member of the team for more information.
