Shop news

New shop on the way

Our brand new golf shop is coming along nicely with the roof completed this week. For those of you who don’t know, the current golf Performance centre that is downstairs underneath the bar is moving onto the 1st tee. This is where you will register for your tee time and spend all your money on new equipment. We will look forward to monitoring that first tee on a daily basis and having some banter with you after you have hit that first tee shot. There is going to be a balcony at the back of the new shop overlooking the first hole. We will be checking your swings and making sure your grips and clubs aren’t worn. We will keep you updated via Facebook and this weekly newsletter on when the shop will open.

Senior news

Vets Team

The Chase Veterans team have had a great start to the Vets league season with an 8-4 win over Burslam at the Chase last Wednesday afternoon. A big well done to the team and thanks to everyone that played. Hopefully we can carry on in similar fashion throughout the rest of the season. All of the May matches are on the Vets board for anyone who would like to be considered to play. Any enquiries please see Ray Jackson.

On Monday 23rd April the Seniors returned to Leading Edge action. Please see results below:

Division 2

1st - Dave Birch = 36points, 2nd - David Whalley = 33points, 3rd - Terry Cavanagh = 33points

Senior matches

Some nice sunshine, a fabulous meal and good company greeted the seniors 1st match of the season at Uttoxeter GC. Well I suppose I better tell you the score, we lost 8 matches to nil.
Next we visited Perton GC, this time we found steady rain getting heavier during the day. With a big improvement, we managed to lose by 5.5 matches to 2.5 matches. The meal and company was again excellent.

A few dates for your diaries:

Senior Captains Charity Day

The Senior Captains Charity day is on June 4th. A Senior Pairs Competition open to Seniors, Ladies and Guests. A list of tee times to enter is on the noticeboard for you to enter. This is our main Charity fund raiser so please enter. Hole sponsors and donations for raffle prizes are required.

The Senior open is on 3rd September. Entry forms are now on the noticeboard. Again a pairs competition open to all over 55 with a current Handicap.

Urethane cover? So what...

A common phrase we hear here in the shop is: “It’s round and white, it can’t be that different”. The truth is that every single golf ball is unique in some way – whether it’s the ball’s core, layers or dimple pattern – but there is one thing that all premium balls have in common…

Try Urethane with the Dx3 Urethane
Like all tour-level golf balls, the Wilson Staff Dx3 Urethane boasts a Urethane cover, which sets the bar for cover materials.

Urethane – a soft and flexible polymer – will give you the highest possible spin rates combined with the best feel; benefits you will really notice when hitting chip and pitch shots.

However, if you like to play lower flighted chip-and-runs you might prefer other options in Wilson Staff’s range that are made with Ionomer covers. While this type of cover doesn’t generate as much spin, it is slightly more durable and offers a cheaper alternative.

As you can see on these 50-yard pitch shots, the extra spin from the Urethane cover ball on the right helps it to stop much quicker than the Ionomer cover ball on the left, which rolls out on landing.

Motocaddy: S or M?

Buying an electric trolley is a serious purchase, so it pays to speak to a member of our team about which option would best suit your needs and preferences. To help set you on your way, here’s a breakdown of the key differences between Motocaddy’s S and M series:

M-Series

S-Series

Which trolley is best for you?
The fundamental difference between these two popular ranges is that the Motocaddy M-Series folds 40% smaller, making it the perfect choice for anyone who has space restrictions such as a smaller boot. That being said, the Motocaddy S-Series models offer some smart technology options, like GPS yardages in the S5 CONNECT model and remote control functionality in the S7 REMOTE trolley.
