Hello Golfers,

Thank you to all the people that played in the Honesty Stableford... 51 people this week hoping for a few more this week.

The scoring did seem very honest with Tery Nicol winning on 39 points, one thing that was missed by too many of you is that the card was signed by both of you, this is something that can't happen I want the marker to sign as player and marker once you have agreed the scores.

And on the subject of swapping paperwork be patient the membership packs will be ready soon.

Here are the top nine golfers who all have prizes to collect we will have qualifying events when we get the go ahead from England golf but until then this will be the format.

  • 1st - Terry Nicol - 39 points
  • 2nd - Jordan Colman  - 38 points
  • 3rd - Nigel Shephard - 37 points
  • 4th - Graham Denham - 36 points (CB)
  • 5th - Scott Thomas - 36 points (CB)
  • 6th - Philip Mann - 36 points (CB)
  • 7th - Graham Brading - 35 points (CB)
  • 8th - Michael Brooks - 35 points (CB)
  • 9th - Graham Fox - 35 points (CB)

CB denotes countback on the best back nine.

We hope you had an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend.

The recent upturn in weather has left us optimistic about what this summer might hold from a golfing perspective. Let's hope it's here to stay!

Having a ride round on Wednesday morning for a quick inspection I did realize that we all of a sudden have quite a diverse bird population at the club. I can't say that I am an avid twitchier but they are all different and beautiful none the less.

I need to say a thank you to all of the members who have supported me in this difficult time I am sure some of the purchases were out of sympathy but welcome none the less.

Stay safe and enjoy the read.

Pro's news

Could this really happen?

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been lucky enough to watch Tiger, Rory and a select few others take to the course to raise money for charities.

But, it's got us thinking...

With the PGA Tour set to return next month and the European Tour the month after - both without fans for a while - will September's Ryder Cup match between Europe and USA go ahead? 

If it does, it'll likely be without spectators but would that be the same spectacle? Think back to Paris in 2018 when the cameras panned around the first tee at the start of each match to thousands of fans in the grandstand. It was a sight to behold.

Let us know what you think by sending us a message here.

 
 
 
New glove, anyone?

As a sport, golf has been given the green light ahead of the vast majority of others.

So, when you do get back out on the course, there's a good chance those crumpled up gloves at the bottom of your bag will need replacing.

We have a great selection of gloves in-store that are still in their packaging, including FootJoy's brilliant range - the #1 glove in golf!

From all-weather gloves to the softest leather gloves around, get in touch with us below and we'll be happy to help you out.

FootJoy gloves - available through us

Thoughts for the course

Home advantage is a phenomenon across most sports. In golf, playing a competition or match on a course you know like the back of your hand has obvious benefits. However, when playing a hole for the hundredth time, it’s easy to fall into the trap of playing it the same way you always have. But, what if there’s another way?

Risk and reward - take on the challenge?

This is where the question of risk and reward comes in.

Does the potential risk of bringing danger into play, be it trees or hazards, outweigh the potential reward?

Next time you’re standing on the tee, weigh up the potential risks and rewards of pulling out your driver. Don’t just think about avoiding doubles and trebles, consider the potential birdie or scoring 3-points. Likewise, if you struggle with a particular tee-shot, think about alternative ways to play that hole.

It’s an interesting thought and one that we’d encourage before you next play. Feel free to send us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Confident in the challenge?

We’ve all stood on a tee box at some point and struggled to muster up the courage to take out the driver. But, when you do, the key is to commit to the shot at hand, rather than trying to guide the ball down the fairway - something a lot of golfers will be doing after a few months without playing.

Do you have confidence in your driver?
Cobra Speedzone Drivers 

When opting for the ‘risk’ strategy, you need to have confidence in both your ability to pull off the shot at hand and your weapon of choice. Weighing up the risk and reward in your head is a very different process when you know you’ve got the right tool for the job.

Luckily, there are a couple of options in Cobra's range that both offer something different. Speedzone is perfect for anyone who wants to fine-tune their performance, whilst Speedzone Xtreme is all about forgiveness. Head to our website to compare them and to watch our review video.
