I highly recommend you take the time to read FergusBisset'swonderful article on Banchory GC for Golf Monthly. It really is a great read!
BIONIC GLOVE:
Fantastic new products in the Bionic Glove range are the new Stable Grip & Relief glove - watch this short video on the features and benefits of these new products.
Wow!! Well that was probably the most compelling golf I have ever watched on TV from Royal Troon last Sunday when Stenson and Mickelson put on a display of what can only be described as out of this world golf.
While the rest of the field was playing for 3rd place Henrick and Phil were in a class of their own. I managed to play Troon last year and when you have played a course yourself you kind of get a better appreciation for just how good these guys are and although hailing from Carnoustie which is itself a real test, the back 9 at Royal Troon is a real brute and the way those two went about their business was an absolute display.
We ran an Open Sweep for some added interest with the following results:
1st: John Millar - Stenson (£110 ) 2nd: Jim Donnelly - Mickelson (£70) 3rd: Rob Pollard - J B Holmes (£40) 4th: Kathleen Taylor - Stricker (£20)
All winners have had their shop account credited. Running alongside the sweep we also ran a Score Predictor this was also very successful the winner was IanAitken who predicted Henrik Stenson with a score of -7.
US PGA SWEEP / SCORE PREDICTOR:
Staying with the same theme we will be running a sweep and score predictor for the final Major sweep of the year next week with the US PGA - more info to follow in the Pro Shop.
Putting Green:
Despite all the best efforts to prevent hydraulic oil leaks and while preparing for the men's open on Saturday we had a leak from our greens machine.
I'm not going with products that claim to help I'm just replacing the area immediately before it contaminates the profile more. Most damage is done by the heat of the oil which burns the grass and the left overs continue to sink through the rootzone. The plan is to have the putting green back to normal by the next few days.
Thanks for your patience
