Competition news

Ladies Medal Final

Sunday saw Claire Bateman take the Ladies Medal Final by a clear margin, a 13 shot swing for a nett 62. It’s great to see Claire doing so well, she's had many lessons with me, attends many of our junior coaching sessions with her daughter Amy, picking up tips and her new Callaway Rogue clubs are certainly working for her. Very well done Claire.

Junior news

Golf Sixes

A fantastic achievement by my young junior section in what was our last fixture of the season in the Golf Sixes.

In our first season together with some never having picked up a club before, we finished a very respectable second place.

A tremendous effort, it was so good mixing with other clubs, meeting new people and clearly having fun as I was lucky enough to capture two of our young inspiring members Rob and Amy, golf well and truly the winner here.

Well done to Stokesley Golf Range on winning and we look forward to challenging you again for the winter series.

We are still looking for new recruits so if you are interested in getting your kids into golf, then please don’t hesitate to contact us here.

Thanks to all the parents as well, it’s been a real team effort.

Upcoming events

Autumn Open - Saturday 5th October.

These jaws have some bite

You’ve seen the film, now play the wedge that bears the Jaws name as Callaway’s fifth-generation Mack Daddy breaks cover with a new groove design that creates plenty of bite around the green.

Callaway's JAWS MD5 wedge

These wedges are all about trying to maximise spin so you can hit your wedge shots with confidence. It sounds ideal and it's achieved by a brand new JAWS groove design, which boasts extremely sharp edges for increased spin and control.

Callaway has continued with its Groove-In-Groove technology and it's the combination of this and JAWS grooves that produce such impressive results. Why not come down to the pro shop to give them a try yourself?

Winter is coming

Have you ever noticed how much harder you need to hit your putts in the winter compared to summer? As surfaces begin to slow due to longer grass and wetter greens, the need for a little extra effort on your putting stroke becomes clear.

Should you change your putter?

As putts need to be hit harder to get the ball going the same distance as they do in the summer months, using a heavier putter certainly won’t do you any harm.

The thought here is that a heavier putter will do more of the work for you, allowing for a smooth and more controlled putting stroke.

Whilst still being relatively lightweight compared to some putters in the range (Valor is 30g heavier), PING's Sigma 2 Wolverine putter is certainly an option we'd recommend you trying.

Come and see us in the pro shop and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect putter this autumn.

Spotlight: Boa Fit System

It's not always easy to keep up with the latest trends in fashion or to understand the newest technology that comes to market.

One such thing that we would definitely recommend you trying is the Boa Fit System, which is a replacement for more traditional laces on golf shoes.

We have a brilliant video that explains it in detail if you click the link below but, in short, it allows you to find the perfect fit at just a few turns of the dial - it really is effortless. Come in the shop and try a pair of Boa shoes on to see for yourself.
