Hello Golfers,

Wow this hot weather just keeps coming, this week looks to have just come down a degree or two making golf fun again and not an endurance test. Having spoken to one of our doctor members, he thought 2 litres would just be enough to keep him hydrated in a 4 hour round and I know there are some of you not even taking a drink with you!

Enjoy this week’s read!

Competition news

Recent results

Lots of great golf played this week, D Andrews and Ralph Bruce won the Seniors Winter Pairs, yes I know in July and 28 degrees. In the ladies competition, Kerry Bond had 39pts and Alison Lewis had a terrific round with 44 points.

In the men's medal Kevin Hayward topped div 1 with a gross 79, nett 70. Division two was Ken Hickling with a nett 68 and Division 3 was won by Paul Stodart on nett 65.

This week is the Parkland Trophy, yes another medal, but I do expect with the conditions that there will be very low winning scores.

Would you like a playing lesson?

I am still busy with on course playing lessons which personally I think is the best route to improving your scores because now we are in mid-season big swing changes are hard for you to implement while playing competition golf.

In the playing lessons we can look at every aspect of your scoring game including alignment, club selection, scoring shots from 50 yards in, bunker play, difficult lies and much more plus the way you deal with a poor shot can be crucial to your state of mind and your score.

One hour playing lesson with a buggy to speed things up is only £35.

P.S I think it’s coming home!

It couldn't be clearer

Playing golf in the sunshine is something we all love, but it does have its downsides when bright light compromises your view. This is why Oakley offers such a great range of eye-catching, golf-specific sunglasses to help your game.

Don't put up with squinting
Trying to track a drive into low sun is just one problem summer golf can create. It also becomes more difficult to pick an aiming point and to read greens when bright light disguises subtle contours.

One eyewear option we love thanks to its cool frame style you can wear off-course is the Oakley Targetline (pictured here). It comes with the option of Prizm golf lenses that enhance clarity and maximise contrast to give you better depth perception and make slopes easier to spot, as displayed in the image above.

Hot off the press

Motocaddy’s electric trolley range is split into the S-Series and M-Series, the latter having recently undergone a major overhaul with four new compact trolleys replacing the extremely popular previous generation.

Which trolley is the right one for you?
If you’re seeking a compact-folding electric trolley, Motocaddy's updated M-Series range is made up of four great options that all include super-lightweight Lithium batteries. All M-Series trolleys are car-boot friendly thanks to space-saving inverted wheels that have significantly reduced their folded size, which is 11% smaller than its nearest competitor.

The new M5 CONNECT boasts GPS yardages on its screen display, plus it receives handy phone and app notifications. The updated M3 PRO offers features including a security pin code, a six-step Adjustable Distance Control (up to 60 yards) and nine speed settings that allow it to travel at your walking pace. The new M1 is the simplest offering of the four, featuring a soft-touch ergonomic handle and an oversize frame to offer robust stability, but is also available in a Downhill Control (DHC) model that comes with an electronic parking brake.

Spotlight: adidas Tour360 Knit shoe

We've spoken a lot about the adidas Tour360 BOOST 2.0 shoe this year, but there is an alternative option for those of you after something a little more lightweight and breathable when walking the fairways.

The Tour360 Knit boasts many of the fantastic features of the aforementioned shoe, but has replaced the traditional leather upper with an ultralight and strechable PrimeKnit material to maximise comfort.
