Competition news

Gents 18 Hole Open

Last Saturday a full field of 150 players took to the golf course on what was a stunning day to play in this year’s 18 Hole Open. It is no wonder now that with the growing reputation of Banchory’ golf course ever improving condition and the overall package on show, that half of the field were visitors from far and near. In fact we had two visitors from Duddingston (Edinburgh) and one from Fairhaven (Lytham & St Annes).

A big thank you goes out to all the helpers who assisted with starting duties, our ever faithful Bert Robertson who always takes the first shift, Morag Clapperton, Glen Spindler and of course our Club Secretary Ann Smart who covered all the bases and managed all the scores right through to the close.

Course rules

I came across this picture the other day and it kind of appealed to me and echoes the thought that it’s not all about the competition and results – the game we all love offers so much more than that and this sign hits it off to a tee and thought I would share it with you all.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

These Galvin Green options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these PING G400 drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels that let us fine-tune your trajectory higher or lower. The more compact standard model and the more forgiving G400 Max driver also feature aerodynamic shaping with turbulators and Vortec Technology so you can increase head speed and enjoy effortlessly long distance.

I hope you have a great week.
