Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. This week, we take a look at two tense tournament endings on both the PGA and European Tours, whilst also revealing some incredible irons for 2019.

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

Weekly Round Up

Saturday saw over 100 men compete in the Winter Stableford, for the first time played from the Red tees and with four of the new greens opening for the membership to trial. All feedback was positive and congratulations goes to Oliver Powell, with a winning score of 40 points.

This Saturday is the Betterball Stableford, there are still limited spaces available on BRS, the competition will again be played over 15 holes.

Only three ladies completed nine holes this Tuesday, in what has to be described as awful conditions, well done to all three for managing to get round Elizabeth Robinson who had the winning score. We have another Stableford next Tuesday, let’s hope for better weather.

Captain/Pro

The Captain and Professional have two challenge dates available to members who wish to take on myself and the Captain in a betterball matchplay.

Both Sunday 10th February and Sunday 10th March are available tee times are around 9am.

Between now and the Captains drive in on Sunday the 31st March, we would like to offer members the chance to come into the studio and have a half hour driver comparison session.

Bring in your current driver into the studio and allow us to see if we can improve your driving statistics with one of the new Callaway or TaylorMade models, No Obligation To Buy.

Sessions will only cost £10, all the names of those who take up the challenge will be put into a hat and drawn, with the winner winning £100 of Callaway or TaylorMade products of their own choice.

Tour news

That was a Shock

It was a shock win for world number 417 Kevin Long, as the American claimed his maiden PGA Tour title at the Desert Classic in California. A bogey-free card for Long – in what was only his sixth tour event – led to a final round of 65, finishing on 26 under.

He fought off stiff competition from the considerably more experienced Phil Mickelson, who was left ruing a lack of composure on the greens, as he finished one shot behind Long. Mickelson had carded an opening round of 60 – his best ever round on tour – but he failed to cling on to his lead as Long claimed a well-deserved victory.

On the European Tour, it was an equally nerve-wracking end in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, with Shane Lowry emerging victorious by one shot over South African Richard Sterne. It was the first victory on tour for Lowry since August 2015, and signals a return to form for the Irishman. A test of nerve was required with both Lowry and Sterne level on the 18th tee, but Lowry’s birdie at the last sealed the win.

You can't go wrong...

The last thing anyone wants is to purchase a new set of irons, only to struggle massively when they take to the course with their friends a few days later. Sound familiar? Well, with lots of new products about to land in-store for 2019, here are a few iron models that we recommend having a custom fitting for...

The M5 and M6 irons from TaylorMade are designed for explosive distance, thanks mainly to the innovative Speed Bridge structure that helps stiffen the clubhead to generate higher ball speeds - visible technology that you can see in the images above. The M6 is designed for maximum forgiveness - something that we can all benefit from - whereas the M5 is suited to the better player who is looking for more distance without sacrificing control.

Hopefully, you have an idea of which iron you'd like to put in your bag, but it's not until you come and visit us for an enjoyable custom fitting that you'll know which iron and shaft combination performs best for you. We're here to help you play better golf.

It's time to get away

Being part of a golf club brings many other benefits than simply being able to play in competitions. Take the social aspect for example; you make lots of friends - some for life - that you spend time with most weeks out on the course, but have you thought of taking those games abroad?

Morgado Golf & Country Club

If you want to get away with your golfing friends then this needs to be at the top of your bucket list. Morgado is a new luxury golf resort that is not just one of the best golf resorts in the Algarve, but the whole of Europe. Spend some time here and you'll head home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Spotlight: Epic Flash driver

This time two years ago, we were sitting here in fascination as Callaway introduced Jailbreak Technology for the very first time, which produced significant distance gains for a lot of golfers.

Fast forward to now and Callaway is bringing Epic Flash to market (arriving here in a couple of weeks), which they say has a 'radically different face design' that will promote even faster ball speeds and, in turn, even more distance.

We hope you enjoyed this weeks newsletter. If you have any questions or are in need of advice please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help. Alan and the Golf Team.
