Competition news

Turkey Trot 2018

Thank you to everyone for turning up and playing in the Turkey Trot on Saturday and I think you all deserve a medal as it was the coldest day of the winter so far. We made the competition over 9 holes which was probably one of the best decisions I have made for a long time.

Being 9 holes we had a prize for the best front 9 score and the best back 9 score.

The winning team for the front 9 was:

Julie Reynolds, Mark Houston, Ian Perks and John Watson

The winning team for the back 9 was:

Mike Dean, Gary Moore, Paul Styles and Rob Griffin.

Congratulations to both teams.

Winter goals

Setting yourself goals during the winter months is vitally important when it comes to improving your golf game. Yes, finding the time to get out and play is one part of the battle, but you also need to head to the range to work on the areas that let you down in 2018.

Whether you're looking to stop yourself from chipping out sideways after a stray drive, become the club's answer to Phil Mickelson by working on your short game, or simply want to know the exact yardages you hit each club, we can help.

Here's what to do: jot down three key areas that you want to improve this winter (like in the image above) and bring this to us in-store. We can then devise a winter coaching plan that'll help make these some of the strongest parts of your game.

Sand saviour

When you see your ball roll into a bunker, don't worry if you tend to get nervous about your next shot; it happens to a lot of golfers. It's one of the reasons that hearing TV commentators say "he'll be happy it's finished in the sand" is so frustrating.

Obviously, these players practice day-in and day-out and so their skills are naturally going to be at an extremely high level - Ben Crane led the way in 2018 with a 66% sand saves success rate.

So how do you get better? Well, alongside having a bunker lesson to ensure your technique is correct, using a wedge that is designed to make bunker play easier - such as Cleveland's RTX 4 Full Grind - is key to getting up-and-down more often.
