Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you up to date with all the latest news and offers from Hockley Golf Club. It’s been a busy week here at Hockley and I hope you've all had a good week on and off the golf course. Enjoy this week's read. |
Congratulations Brandon! Congratulations to junior, Brandon Perrett on his first hole-in-one, which was made on the 8th hole at Hockley using a 3 wood.
Unfortunately, he lost his Knockout match, but his Dad said it was the best golf shot and first hole-in-one he had ever seen.
Well done Brandon, the first of many. |

Fingers crossed for better weather After missing out by one shot to qualify for the Seniors Open, this week I am off to the Seniors Staysure Trophy at the London Club in Kent, which I qualified for some weeks ago.
I’m hoping for better weather than we had in Blackpool. As you can see my ‘national dress’, the woolly hat even had to come out.

How confident are you hitting your long irons? The lack of forgiveness can lead to inconsistent strikes and less distance. This is when filling the gaps at the top end of your bag with utility irons or hybrids could be the smartest decision you ever make – but which is right for you? |
Titleist’s brand-new utility irons and hybrids are really special, and you’ll be able to get your hands on them through us in no time at all. Why do we like them so much? Well, they are seriously easy to hit and offer unbeatable performance, but there are some things you should know… |
U-500 and U-510 utility irons Quite simply, these offer more distance than a standard iron but less spin than a hybrid. Both come loaded with tungsten for incredible forgiveness, with the U-500 offering workability and precise distances whilst the U-510 boasts a high launch and increased carry from a larger head.
|
TS2 and TS3 hybrids It's time to stop thinking of these hybrids as rescue clubs and begin referring to them as scoring clubs. Both offer plenty of distance and an easy to hit nature, with the TS2 providing a higher launch from a wider head and the TS3 giving us more adjustability in an iron-like profile. |
|
So, which route should you go down? Hybrid or utility iron? Let’s give all four a go in a custom fitting session and find the one that offers you the best performance. |
