Enjoy this week's read.

Competition news

Captain's finals

We all enjoyed a fantastic weekend watching the Captain's finals. The golf course was presented in great condition and the weather was kind. With lots of finals played in the afternoon, congratulations goes to all the winners and commiserations to all runners up, everyone played fantastic golf to make the finals.

The winner of the Captain's prize was Clive Caddick, the Scratch Trophy was won by Dominic Barnes and Phil & Carolyn Marchbank were triumphant in the mixed foursomes.

The Gawith Cup

This Saturday, 21 September is the second to last major trophy competition of the year. The Gawith Cup (2) is a medal played from the yellow tees.

There are still places left on BRS should any member wish to play.

Medal 6

This Tuesday was Medal 6 on the ladies golfing calendar. The winner of the medal was Carolyn Marchbank following her win with husband Phil in the mixed foursomes. This is proving to be a memorable week for Carolyn. Lady Captain Julie Hayman was runner up in the medal and Barbra Cogan won the nine hole Stableford with 17 points.

Ladies Autumn Meeting

This coming Tuesday is the Ladies Autumn Meeting. The timesheet is looking very busy for this popular competition, with many prizes available and a fantastic meal and presentation afterwards. Be sure not to miss this competition!

Shop news

Autumn/winter collections have arrived...

The shop now is fully stocked with our autumn/winter collections, although I will continue to buy and refresh stock throughout the winter should the weather be kind. We have full collections from adidas, Oscar Jacobson, MURRAYGOLF and Rohnisch, all available.

Should sizes or styles not be available in-store, please don't hesitate to ask to order or visit my Foremost website to place orders.

SALE rail

We still have items left on our SALE rail, lots of ladies clothing reduced down to less than half price. This is a great chance to purchase an end of season bargain.

Make a £99.98 saving!

TaylorMade equipment is played by some of the world's best golfers, such as Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. In fact, they both use TaylorMade's TP5 or TP5x golf balls, too.

They're also some of the longest and straightest guys on Tour, which is partly down to the golf balls and the impressive M5 and M6 drivers.

So, for a short time only, we're going to give away two dozen TP5 or TP5x golf balls for FREE with every M5 or M6 driver that we sell - just so you can see the results for yourself.

Goodbye laces. Hello Boa

Technology in today's golf equipment continues to amaze us year-on-year, but it's not just our clubs that are making strides in the tech department.

Believe it or not, golf shoes are some of the most advanced products in the market thanks to the evolution of the Boa Fit System, which is replacing traditional laces.

Not only does it fasten your shoe, but when the Boa dial is on the heel of your shoe, it pulls your foot back and down to provide the perfect fit for extreme comfort and stability out on the course.

Cover story

This might sound a little complicated but just give us a chance on this one...

Urethane vs Ionomer? Both are materials used on the cover of golf balls but what is the difference between them and how does each affect your game?

TaylorMade TP5 - Urethane cover

You'll usually find that balls at the premium end of the market, like the TP5 and TP5x, have Urethane covers due to its noticeably softer feel and fantastic feedback, which is why they're the go-to choice for many Tour pros.

TaylorMade Project (s) - Ionomer cover

On the other hand, Ionomer is cheaper to produce which is why you'll find them on less expensive balls, like the Project (s). These balls tend to spin less off the tee, which is why Ionomer features on balls that prioritise distance over feel.

A warmer option

As we begin the inevitable slide to Christmas (yes, I said it), it's time to ditch the shorts for some warmer layers. Fortunately, we have a range of mid-layers and jackets available through us that will keep you warm and dry whilst successfully battling the elements this winter.

Layer up with FootJoy

There used to be a time when 'layering' meant chucking on as many clothes as you possibly could in order to keep warm on a winter's day, which regularly resulted in problems when it came to swinging a club.

Luckily for us, today's golf clothing has come a long way in recent years. Not only will you be proud to wear outfits from FootJoy's collection above, but you'll need fewer layers and won't be restricted or overheat whilst playing either!
