Hello Golfers,

As we head towards another weekend in lockdown, we hope you and your family are well.

There are plenty of ideas in this week’s email for you to give a go at home, including one that we’d like you to send us a video of you trying. Keep reading to find out what!

Stay safe and enjoy the read.

Golf's greatest rivalries

Woods vs Mickelson

For those that go on stats, this barely constitutes a rivalry. However, when you consider they achieved their feats over the same period, then what both men have managed is mightily impressive.

Tiger was the face of the game for almost two decades. He’s won 15 majors, racked up 109 worldwide professional victories, and even had the main golf video game named after him for several years. In that same time, Phil played second fiddle. A role that saw ‘lefty’ accumulate five major titles, 51 worldwide professional wins and represent the USA in 12 consecutive Ryder Cups. Sadly for Mickelson, he never reached the summit of the World Golf Rankings, albeit spending 26 consecutive years inside the Top 50.

It’s scary to think what more either man could have achieved without the other standing in their way. Let us know which rivalry stands out for you the most and why by getting in touch here.

Pro's Lockdown Draw

I hope we are all still surviving in these uncertain times, but hopefully we won't be long before we are back playing at HHGC, I popped up on Monday and the course looks really good although i think a little rain would help, sorry for the last comment as this weather we are having at the moment is fantastic and just about keeping us all sane!

From today I'm running a lockdown draw with some great prizes to be won, there will be 100 tickets to sell at £10 per ticket, the value of the prizes to win add up to £1200 in total...

The draw will also be displayed on Facebook and Twitter.

The reason for this draw is just to help a little cash flow and stock turnover, once the course is re-open the prizes will be available to collect.

I will also be asking Ken to send out to all members email addresses.

Prizes to be won:

1st Prize – NEW Driver - TaylorMade, Callaway or PING (Inc. fitting).
2nd Prize – NEW TaylorMade Spider Putter (3 to choose from).
3rd Prize – NEW TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 Raw Wedge (various lofts).
4th Prize – 4 x 1 Hour Lessons with Myself.
5th Prize – NEW Wilson Cart Bag.
6th Prize – adidas Adicross Retro Golf Shoes

Over the next couple of weeks I will be bringing new ideas to help myself, the club and you all as members so look out for these new ideas and offers.

Thanks and take care.

It's quiz time

In theory, this week's quiz is one that we should ALL do well on, so we've thrown a few curveballs in there to really test you!

Fancy yourself as a Rules know-it-all?
Are you the go-to Rules person in your roll-up?

Put your knowledge to the test and see how you get on this week. You may have found yourself in a few of these scenarios before - the question is: did you do the right thing?

Good luck!

Weekly challenge

We want to get as many Hanging Heaton Golf Club golfers attempting this week’s challenge as possible! It’s a pretty straightforward one so give it a go and let us know how you get on. Who will be the champion?

What to do

Grab your wedge and a golf ball. Head to the garden or give yourself some space inside the house. Now, try to do as many keepy-ups as possible without the ball touching the ground.

Sounds easy, right?

Get adventurous

If you’re a bit of a show-off, try hitting the ball off your thigh or stopping the ball on your clubface before starting again. You can do this with tennis balls too, or even toilet rolls (apparently).

We want your videos sent in!

Golf at home

If any of you are missing golf as much as we are, you’ll be straight onto the course as soon as it’s safe to do so. Well, until that time comes, here’s a little drill for you to try that’ll keep those competitive juices flowing.

The set-up

We’ve used a mug as our makeshift hole, but feel free to use whatever you have lying about the house!

Set your balls down in a straight line from the hole, at one-foot intervals from each other. Starting with the closest, hole each putt without missing. If you miss, go back to the start and try again!

Too easy?

The simplest way to make this drill harder is to increase the distance between each of the balls in your line.

If you’re simply too good and are putting like Tiger, you could try finding a sloping putt or make the target (your makeshift hole) smaller.

Video of the Week

A brilliant interview with one of the game's greats. Has technology gone too far? Will anyone dominate the game like Tiger once did? Watch this video as Greg Norman gives his thoughts on today's game. Enjoy!
