Competition news

September Medal

On Sunday was the turn of the September medal and I am pleased to report many success stories from coaching to fittings.

Rob Sanderson was Div 3 winner, fresh off the back of his recent fitting for a new driver, the PING G400 SFT, hitting more fairways then ever before and even hit his driver on the 9th to achieve the nearest the pin of 7ft4”. The jubilant character that he is also went on to shoot is best round of the year with a nett 66, well done Rob.

Div 2 winner was won by Nick Bisicker as he makes it 2 for 2 in my weekly newsletter, hole in one last week and now a nett 68 to report as he shows off his fine work in our lesson during the week and making full use of The Golf Studio might I add, well done Nick.

Future Events

Race To Close House

It has been brought to my attention that that a number of you would like a competition similar to that of the Castle during the winter months.

I bring to you, a winter OOM played every Saturday with the first event being played on Saturday 6th October. There is no reason to book just turn up and enjoy a game with your friends. This is open to all members with a current handicap and played as a stableford over 18 holes.

There will be a 2 week break over the Christmas period from the 22nd December and will resume again Saturday 5th January 2019.

Top 5 on each day will receive ranking points.
Enter fee £3 + optional ball sweep £1.
Maximum handicap 28.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you prefer a more modern look, why not try the TP Red-White Ardmore 3?

Alignment is improved considerably thanks to the red-white contrast, which helps golfers envision a proper path from the ball to the hole. Various head shapes with different sightlines in the Ardmore range means there'll be a sightline to suit every golfer's eye.

Something different
Alternatively, the Spider Tour from TaylorMade is certainly for those who prefer a larger head.

This putter's used by some of the world's very best golfers, such as Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. A recent addition is the sightline on the crown, helping to dial in your focus over every putt as well as act as an extension to the line on your ball when lining up your putts.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

New: 2018 Srixon Soft Feel

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The new Srixon Soft Feel has been designed for players wanting to hit the ball further with more control, but without paying a premium price tag.

New: 2018 Srixon UltiSoft

The updated UltiSoft ball combines soft feel and extreme distance at an affordable price. It's ideal for players with mid-to-low swing speeds, who are seeking great feel around the greens, a higher launch and maximum distance off the tee.
