Competition news

Winter Golf

Although we have now passed all of the “counting” weekend golf events and as from 1st November we move to playing the golf course using the winter golf rules which I mentioned in last week’s newsletter, we will run (weather permitting) a Saturday Sweep where all members can “opt in” to enter a “Turn up and Play” stableford.

Simply book any tee time - pop into the shop to sign up on the day and we will operate a “Half Summer Handicap” stableford and play over whatever number of holes are available on the day – for those members keen to keep the “buzz” going this will hopefully help you to keep the focus alive during the winter period.

A little help from my friends...

Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away.

Close House

Have you ever played a European Tour venue? Well, here's your chance to tee it up at Close House - host of the 2017 British Masters - courtesy of Your Golf Travel. With 18 stunning holes and a mouth-watering restaurant on site, Close House is the perfect venue for a trip away with some of your golfing buddies.

Penina Hotel and Golf Resort

The Championship Course at Penina isn't just one of the best golfing destinations in Portugal - it holds its own throughout Europe as well. Year-round sunshine, a stunning range of restaurants and bars, and only a 40-minute drive from the airport, Penina truly is a golfer's paradise.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

PING Glide 2.0 Stealth

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is PING’s Glide 2.0 Stealth.

Its unique grooves deliver more control and consistency from both dry and wet conditions, but the feature we love the most is the additional 1/2 groove near the lead edge on the higher lofted wedges - improving contact for even more control when firing into a guarded green.

I hope you have a great week.
