Don't be shy
Can we politely remind you ALL to check in with the Pro team BEFORE you go out to play. The course may look empty, however the tee maybe closed due to a shotgun start or a pending match.
We may not always ask you to sign in on the tee sheet if it’s been very quiet, but please just pop in and check, this will save us all from a conflict on the tee. |

On the Course...
The Mid-Week Medal played in very windy conditions last week was won by Pete Robbins with a nett 69. The Men’s Short Course Stableford was played in very damp conditions, this did not stop a selection of fantastic scores. Nigel Noke took the honours in Division One with an excellent 44 points. Mathew Richards went one better in Division Two to win with 45 points. Well done to both players. |

| New irons to improve your game |
Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence. |
Mix & match with PING Why not try combining the long irons of PING's G700 series with the short irons of the G400? The G700 contains low and deep weighting, which gives you higher launch and more forgiveness - ideal for your long irons. Combine this with the G400, which has a hydropearl chrome finish to help maintain the launch and spin rates of your short irons in all conditions, and you'll be feeling confident through the whole bag. Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for? |
