Competition news

Finham Bowl

Well done to Tom Beasley and Simon Higgins for their performance in the Finham bowl last week at Coventry G.C. This event is a 36 hole scratch competition that is part of the Midland Scratch Order of Merit circuit. Simon finished on a total score of two under par finishing 3rd and Tom finished on a total of plus 1 finishing tied 9th! Well done boys.

Tom also played in the Brabazon trophy North qualifier at Fairhaven G.C this week. He managed to shoot a two over par 74 which finished tied 27th and qualified for the main event. Great knock around a tough course considering he had a 7 and a 6 on the two par fives on the back nine! Well done Tom.

Testimonials

"Oli, my instructor from Ross on Wye GC was friendly, patient & a very good teacher. I really enjoyed the class and have no doubt my putting will improve significantly. I particularly like the way he structured the course, which was logical and easy to understand. He also ensured that I fully understood the content by continually asking me to recap on what I had learned and practiced at each key area of the instruction. Great course which I can wait to put into practice on my local greens. Also, the offer of continued support by e mail with any further questions, advice is of great value and makes you feel part of a team process. I have no doubt Oli wants me to do well on the course and for that reason I will not hesitate to re-visit him and have future additional lessons. Thanks Oli for a great morning.”

Seniors news

Match report

The Seniors played their first home match against Stafford Castle GC, the previous two matches were both away from home and resulted in two defeats. We hope a home match would change our fortunes, sadly we were defeated again 4.5 to 2.5. At least each defeat is by a small margin, we hope for a better result in our next match against Barlaston GC.

Senior Captains Charity Day

The Senior Captains Charity day is on June 4th and is 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, donations for raffle prizes are required. If you wish to play and don’t have a partner, contact a committee member and we will try to pair you with someone.

Senior Open

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.

Captains Away Day Monday 13th August

The organisation of the Senior Captains away trip at Wishaw GC is well in hand with all places taken. The senior committee visited the course on Tuesday to finalise the arrangements for the day. We all felt it was an interesting course with a lot of holes that will take some thought to play. The highlight of our visit was our Captain Dave Cartlidge getting a hole-in-one on the 15th. Is he the first Senior Captain to get a hole-in-one during his year in office?

Speedy recovery

Finally this week, we wish Rob Allison and Frank Wood a speedy recovery from their recent operations. Also we wish Keith Bayliss this year’s Vice Captain a speedy recovery as he is due to undergo an operation this week.

Future events

21st May - Leading Edge 5

24th May - Seniors v Greenway Hall GC Away

31st May - Seniors v Greenway Hall GC Home

What's your style?

What's your go-to club?

Some rounds our driver is our best friend, consistently finding the fairway and not putting us into any trouble off the tee. Other rounds, however, it’s a completely different story as we find ourselves anywhere but the fairway. On rounds like the latter, it’s important to have a ‘go-to’ safety club you can use from the tee.

What’s your fairway finder?
Having too many options isn’t always a good thing in golf because sometimes you’ll find it hard to fully commit to a shot. Having said that, it’s important to have an alternative option in your armoury – such as a fairway wood – that you can trust to keep you in play when it matters.

This Wilson Staff D300 fairway wood has a thin steel face insert that boosts speeds across the face to give you distance in a more controllable option, even when you miss the middle. Thanks to its drag-reducing Micro Vortex Generators, it also aids faster head speeds for easier distance gains.

As with any club in your bag, it's vital that you go through a thorough custom fitting to ensure you get the most from this D300 fairway wood.
