Competition news

What a contrast in weather!

What a contrast in the weather this week. Saturday was a bright but blustery day for the Men's Gawith Cup and this Tuesday was a very wet and dull day for the Ladies Autumn meeting.

Congratulations goes to Jeff Kozer for winning the Gawith Cup (2) this past Saturday, with winds gusting at 30-40mph. Jeff posted a fantastic nett score of 68 to win the Trophy. It was great for Jeff to finally get his name on the honours board, without his wife Barbra's help! Sorry Jeff but you did mention it!

The Ladies Autumn Meeting on Tuesday was just a dreadful day for weather but over thirty ladies did venture out despite the conditions, well done to all that did. The winner with a fantastic gross score of one over par, nett 68 was Karen Griffiths. In those conditions this was a great score, the lessons with Josh and practise has really paid off.

Next Tuesday is EG Medal 7, with a nine hole Stableford option.

The St. Andrews meeting

This Saturday is the final Major of the season, the St. Andrews meeting. This is a white Medal, but also we will offer the yellow Stableford as an option for those who don't wish top play the white course.

Last year's winner Ian Beattie is in the field to try and defend the trophy he won last year.

13 hole Wednesday competitions

As the light begins to fade and the season draws to an end, we are going to be running three 13 hole Wednesday competitions up until and including the 'Last Supper and prize presentation night' on Wednesday, 9 October.

After that, we will revert to the traditional Pro Shop 11 hole Stablefords for the winter. Members are reminded that the 11 hole winter competitions will start at 8am, play can be in fourballs and members can invite guests.

Good luck Juniors!

Best of luck from myself, the staff and all the members of Caldy Golf Club to our Junior team this weekend. After winning the Junior League, the team have progressed to a Regional qualifier at Hillside Golf Club this Sunday.

Coaching news

Junior coaching continues...

With the school holidays now over, I would like to remind members that our junior coaching will continue to run on a Saturday all winter long.

The sessions are £10 per child and run from 10am - 11am each Saturday morning.

They've done it again

Without further ado, let us introduce TaylorMade’s scintillating Milled Grind 2 wedge and look at why it's such a good option to be putting in the scoring part of your bag.

TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 wedges

Now this wedge is quite unique. It's all to do with Raw Face Technology, which increases spin and feel compared with the original Milled Grind.

Not only that but whilst the face rusts over time, the rest of the head will maintain its sleek finish.

They look stunning, they perform superbly and there are plenty of options available from a loft, grind and finish perspective.

All that's left to do now is to come and try them out yourself the next time you're down the club.

Winter is coming

Have you ever noticed how much harder you need to hit your putts in the winter compared to summer? As surfaces begin to slow due to longer grass and wetter greens, the need for a little extra effort on your putting stroke becomes clear.

Should you change your putter?

As putts need to be hit harder to get the ball going the same distance as they do in the summer months, using a heavier putter certainly won’t do you any harm.

The thought here is that a heavier putter will do more of the work for you, allowing for a smooth and more controlled putting stroke.

Whilst still being relatively lightweight compared to some putters, Odyssey's EXO Stroke Lab Marxman putter is certainly an option we'd recommend you trying.

Come and see us in the pro shop and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect putter this autumn.

Spotlight: Boa Fit System

It's not always easy to keep up with the latest trends in fashion or to understand the newest technology that comes to market.

One such thing that we would definitely recommend you trying is the Boa Fit System, which is a replacement for more traditional laces on golf shoes.

We have a brilliant video that explains it in detail if you click the link below but, in short, it allows you to find the perfect fit at just a few turns of the dial - it really is effortless. Come in the shop and try a pair of Boa shoes on to see for yourself.
