Unbelievable Round

There was some incredibly low scoring in the USPGA this week if anyone managed to see it .What a huge disappointment in the way it was televised and let’s hope this option is not used in future!

We also had some superb scoring here at the club on Wednesday with a new course record by Tom George. His fantastic score of 66 net 63 was enough to secure victory in the event. Very well done Tom!

Busy Week of Competitions

It has been a busy few days with various competitions and looking through all the results it is absolutely wonderful to see so many members achieve great results after either lessons or fittings (or both!)

The Royal Signals on Saturday had a great entry as always and many congratulations to Gordon Laing whose great score of 42 points secured victory. It is clear that Gordon is enjoying his new fitted Ping G400 woods along with ‘TJ’s tips’ but I’m sure Gordon will be the first to admit that having also recently converted to using an electric trolley has also made a huge difference too ! Very well done Gordon. It also looks like the numerous hours Alan Barrass has spent on the range has paid off as it was great to see his score of 40 points – on a serious note those numerous hours are actually working on the range not practising ! As always your efforts on the range are much appreciated Alan

The Veterans Cup

The Veterans Cup on Monday had a great entry on Monday. After his wife Delia showed the ‘younger’ seniors how to do it by winning the Hindmarsh Trophy last month it appears that Trevor Bailey was keen to show the younger seniors a thing or too also ! Very well done Trevor – fantastic achievement with you both winning these events.

Hat-trick for Koepka

What a few years the big-hitting American is having. Since making his debut in the 2016 Ryder Cup, where he won three out of a possible four points, Brooks has secured three Major championships, including back-to-back U.S. Opens and last week’s PGA Championship.

Koepka took a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round and couldn’t have dreamt for a better start; booming a 325-yard drive down the fairway before hitting his approach to six-foot for an opening birdie. A little wobble in the middle of his front nine was quickly addressed with birdies on seven, eight and nine, at which point a certain Tiger Woods was making a charge. But Koepka showed his quality by shooting a flawless two-under-par back nine, holding off challenges from Woods, Scott and Thomas to claim his third Major title in his last six Major starts.

There’s always a real buzz surrounding golf's four biggest events, especially in a Ryder Cup year as we eagerly watch on to see who’ll make the respective teams come September, but Tiger’s challenge in last month’s Open Championship and last week’s PGA Championship has got golf back on the front pages once again. Maybe, just maybe, we're beginning to see Tiger getting back to his incredible best, which can only be a positive for the sport.

Here, there and everywhere

We are faced with a whole range of scenarios out on the course, some of which we practice regularly and others that we don’t. When you consider the different types of shots you hit around the greens, it really does highlight how versatile your wedges need to be.

Versatility is key
We ask a lot from our wedges, from opening up the face to hit high lob/flop shots to moving the ball back in our stance to play low flying pitches and everything in between. It’s therefore obvious that you should be playing something you’re comfortable with from any spot around the greens.

If you’re yet to find that wedge, come and try the Callaway Mack Daddy 4 here in the shop. It comes in lots of lofts so we can discuss your wedge make up, plus we can test the different sole grinds to see which ones best suit the shots you like to play.

And the award goes to...

Always trying to raise the bar on previous models isn’t an easy job, but it’s for this reason that technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. It means we’ve never been in a better position to help you enjoy your golf, from drivers right through to shoes.

Come and see what all the fuss is about
This award-winning FootJoy Tour-S shoe has been recognised for the highly stable platform its PowerPlate outsole provides, while still being lightweight and comfortable straight out of the box.

If you try these on you’ll enjoy the precise fit, underfoot comfort and the feel of FootJoy’s Premium Performance Leather.

We think it’s obvious why this shoe was selected as one of the best of the year, but to see if you agree, drop by the store.
