The girls ‘Boss’ it... What a lovely afternoon we had on Friday, two new ladies took us on, June Glasspell and Marion Vincent along with two old foes Nick Bell and Chris Boswell. After winning the first hole which is very unusual for Sean and me, the two games went very different ways. We slightly built on our early success with the boys being three-up at the turn, however, I think we inspired the girls! Marion hit a fantastic drive to 8ft on the fifth to win the hole, then made a nett three on seven and after we made bogey on nine, we were two down after nine to the girls. Then a real golfing moment, we were all on the tenth green for the same the boys made a nett par so over to Marion who holed it from 25ft for a nett birdie, the pace it went in at I think June would have had a ten-footer back, but it went in! I missed so three down. Marion hit a great bunker shot on twelve and June holed from 8ft we are now four-down! With Sean and I trying our best to keep up with the girls, we started to get away from the boys who were maybe ‘Jet Lagged’ after their six days golfing in Turkey, (which Chris won by the way from Nick). The boys were not as good as previous years and dropped a couple of shots coming in and after we birdied fourteen, we shook hands, that birdie and another on fifteen meant we were back to two down against the girls, game on, however, June had other ideas and hit an unbelievable drive on sixteen to six-foot and two putts later we were done.

How are your wedges? From our recent survey, there is a number of golfers that would benefit from carrying more wedges in their bag, with just one or two wedges you are missing opportunities to attack the pins more from 100 yards and in. Also, a large percentage of you have wedges more than 5-years-old. As wedges are used a lot, your grooves may not be as sharp and as a consequence, this will lead to less spin. |
With the ‘shrinking lofts’ of modern irons and a traditional SW staying the same, there is now a huge need for golfers to understand how important a wedge system is for good scoring.
Come and see us for a wedge fitting and now is the perfect time to purchase a wedge as the Titleist SM7 wedges are now only £99 saving you £50. We have numerous demo wedges that can be tried on the course.
