Weekly Round Up

Another Bank Holiday has added to a very busy past week. It has been fantastic hearing so many compliments from both members and visitors regarding the course and the greens.

A playoff is required for the Strensall Cup after Ian Crawley and Andrew Ormiston both scored a great 41 points on Saturday. Well done both of you

Nearly 200 competitors enjoyed the Captain’s Charity Scramble on Bank Holiday Monday and it was great to see so many mixed and Ladies teams playing too.

It sounds strange saying less than 1 shot separated the top 5 in the Men’s event! I am sure all 5 groups will be thinking of 1 missed shot but very well done to all of you.

The fantastic momentum in Ladies section keeps growing with fantastic entries in the competitions too.

Very well done to Kate Dunham winning the Medal 3 on Sunday and also well done to Elaine Magee who stormed to victory on Tuesday in the Medal 4 winning by an incredible 5 shots after shooting a superb net 67!

Once again it was fantastic for TJ and myself to look over the results of this past week and see so many success stories from both lessons and fittings. It is clear to see that so many are enjoying the benefits of having had some time with the amazing Trackman.

Tour news

Na’s got Seoul

Kevin Na’s final round 66 at Colonial saw the 35-year-old sweep to his third PGA Tour title by four shots from big-hitting Tony Finau.

Na is proof that sometimes sheer driving power is not always the answer, averaging 'just' 280 yards off the tee (still a long way but far shorter than a majority of his competitors). Fortunately for Na, Colonial is a tight track where placement over power is the key to victory and as the only man in Tour history to have recorded three rounds of 62 or better at Colonial - as well as co-owning the course record of 61 - it was inevitable he would one day claim the title for his own.

1 gap, 3 options

The term 'gapping' is commonly used to refer to the yardage distance between each of the wedges in your bag. We want to break this thought process and get you to think about gapping for your entire set, because any unequal gaps between clubs will have a detrimental impact on your game.

Gapping at the top end

One part of your set that needs careful consideration is how you transition from your irons into your woods. Lots of golfers struggle to hit their longer irons and instead opt for a replacement hybrid or driving iron, which can lead to large gaps between clubs if you're not careful.

So, what's the solution? Well, take advantage of our services and professional advice, and we'll make sure you have the perfect club/s to fill any gaps at the top end of your bag.

What are your options?

TaylorMade recognised the problem that many golfers have in this area and brought GAPR to market to help them fix it.

There is a GAPR Hi option, which is most like a hybrid in shape and offers extreme distance with a high trajectory.

This is followed by GAPR Mid, which is somewhere between a hybrid and a long iron. It offers a slightly lower trajectory than the Hi and is perfect for hitting off tees or off the deck.

Finally, the GAPR Lo is for the better ball strikers as its smaller profile provides excellent shot-shaping and workability from a penetrating trajectory.

Get your kicks on this summer

Now that the better weather is upon us, it's time to pack those waterproof shoes away in the garage and step onto the course in a stylish new pair of breathable kicks for the summer months ahead.

Why not try Under Armour's Showdown SL Sunbrella?

No one wants to take their shoes off after a round to reveal a less-than-desirable whiff.

Fortunately, that is no longer a concern thanks to this shoe from Under Armour, which comes with a water-resistant upper and a breathable memberane for all-round comfort.

However, that is not even the best bit!

There's no sacrifice when it comes to traction with this spikeless offering either, but you do gain the versatility of being able to wear it both on or off the course.

So, what better way to prepare for the warmer months than by coming down to the pro shop and trying on a pair of these Under Armour shoes before you head out for your next round?
