Weekly Round Up

Due to the heavy rainfall this weekend the Jubilee cup was cancelled, this is due to be re-arranged on a suitable place in the fixture list.

Despite the heavy rain the golf course did open later that day and on Sunday morning was in fantastic condition for the early Sunday golfers and the mixed invitation.

Thanks to the green staff for their hard work this week in presenting the course to such high standards, in what has been a very difficult week.

This Saturday is the Dawpool Cup, a medal competition played from the White tees, with an optional yellow Stableford, please sign up on BRS if you wish to compete.

Last year’s winner Trevor Thomas will be looking to defend his trophy.

Men's Invitation

If any members who missed the sign up for the Men's invitation last Friday, there are still spaces left for this popular event, please contact the office directly to enter.

It’s Major week...Again

This week sees the world's best head to the West Coast of America to tackle the iconic Pebble Beach Links. It is the sixth time that this magnificent test of golf has hosted the U.S. Open, with the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods having successfully prevailed in years gone by.

Aside from the stunning views, Pebble Beach will be a stern test of accuracy with the smallest greens (by average size) on the PGA Tour this season.

So, who do you think will win? Can Tiger make it a fourth U.S. Open title? Will Rory bring his Canadian Open form to California? Or can Phil Mickelson finally get his hands on the one Major that has eluded him for so long? We don't have to wait much longer to find out!

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf.

Introducing TaylorMade's M5/M6 drivers

Two drivers that will be in lots of golfers' bags this week are these beauties from TaylorMade. As well as the impressive ball speeds and distance gains from its Speed Injection, there are two features on the M5 that will help tighten up your dispersion.

First, Twist Face helps reduce any 'gear effect' that comes as a result of an off-centre strike. Combine this with the moveable weights in the M5's T-Track and we can set up your driver to fight any regular misses you might have.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
