Competition news

Extension Trophy Results

The tough windy conditions over the weekend made it hard for all the members with only ten members scoring under-par. It was a great win for one of my pupils Joe Ratcliffe as he shot a nett 66 beating the best nine handicapper Steve Leather in the club on the back-nine.

Joe and I have worked hard on trying to increase his driver and long iron distance with better accuracy and with good practice, the results are showing. Great stuff Joe, keep up the hard work.

Senior's Open Results

Another change in the weather, sun, little wind and a well-supported field made for a good day at the HHGC Senior's Open. A new partner for our Club ‘Touring Professional’ Secretary paid off dividends winning the overall event. Well done to Ken and Archie Lourie with a fantastic score of 47 points.

Some great scores were produced by other teams, Ken Dodgson one of our latest membership recruits and his partner as they had 46 points and a couple of our stalwarts Steve Adkin and John ‘Batley News’ Senior with 45 points.

Again, great praise from all visitors regarding the condition of the course, well done to Danny, Simon and greens team for their hard work.

Ladies news

Lady Captain’s News

The trip to Rudding Park was followed by a busy few days which started with a ladies meeting and discussions of what comps lie ahead. So to update and remind you the married and family foursomes will be held on Saturday, 31 August – 3.30pm tee time. We have attracted a reasonable amount of interest but there’s always space for more. That will be followed immediately by the Mixed Open, Invitation Day on Sunday, 1 September. Whilst this week, the Rabbits are sharpening their game and preparing for our annual Rabbits V Ladies match on Thursday, fingers crossed and clubs at the ready for a good result, hopefully, a result favouring the ladies.

Two trips to two opens this last few days brought about very different results for me. A visit to Championship course Moor Allerton reminded myself and the girls that we are not championship golfers but I am happy to say that we still enjoyed the experience. My second open of the week on Sunday and a visit to Crosland Heath for the Mixed Pairs Open, a more positive result and better golf. Sadly John and I missed out on a fourth-place by one-point. Of course, the compulsory inquest took place, the discussion centred on the greens and the conversation was closed with the final comment of it’s a case of ifs and putts.

Our ladies competition of the weekend was the Mary Cusworth, Bogey Comp. As I type, the results are not in but ladies you will be informed in due course.

Happy golfing,

Judi.

No distractions

It's not always easy to get in the zone or feel completely comfortable over the ball so, when you do, the last thing you need is to look down and be distracted by your shoes. Style always comes down to individual taste, but here are two shoes at either end of the spectrum that catch our eye for different reasons.

FootJoy Fury

The eye-catching athletic style of the aptly named Fury offers a fast look when addressing the ball with a full grain leather and engineered mesh upper providing ultimate on-course performance.

FootJoy UltraFIT Boa

Classic style meets the perfect fit in these beautiful shoes from FJ. The no-nonsense design at address oozes confidence whilst the Boa Fit System ensures maximum comfort every time.

We have an extensive range of golf shoes available in-store with styles, colours and designs to match everyone's taste. So, be sure to pop in and try on a pair or two for size the next time you're in the market for new shoes.

Variety is the spice of life

Whatever happened to having a ‘textbook’ swing? If you were to watch golf on TV you’d see all sorts of different swings that have propelled these golfers to the top of the world, and the same can be said on the greens too.

TaylorMade Spider X putter

There's definitely no single approach when it comes to how you grip your putter. You have a more traditional no-fuss approach that is favoured by the likes of Tiger Woods; a left-below-right grip which is a recent craze made famous by Jordan Spieth's putting heroics; and then the opposite extreme in anchoring that has recently been banned by the R&A.

TaylorMade's putter range

That's gripping the club but what about the actual putter itself?

Take a look at TaylorMade's range for example. In this photo alone you can see the larger headed Spider X putter that is so popular on Tour thanks to its stability through the ball, as well as the more conventional headed TP Black Copper line.

With so many head styles available - not to mention lengths - using our expertise is the safest way to ensure your next purchase is the right one for your game.
