After suffering 3 defeats this season, the seniors team excelled in their match against Barlaston GC at the Chase with the first win under captain Dave Cartlidge by 6 games to 1. Can we continue our winning run with the visit to Greenway Hall GC on 24th May?

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. 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

Entries for the Senior Captain’s Away Day on 13th August are now closed and the balance of £25 is required for all those registered. The Senior Committee visited the venue, Wishaw Golf Club on 15th May to “test the course” and in glorious conditions, everyone was impressed with the course which is shorter than The Chase but has some interesting and quite testing holes. The Senior Captain certainly enjoyed his day in the sun, getting a hole in one on the par 3 15th hole. Well done to David. The rest of the Committee have fully backed the Organiser who has subsequently decided that this will NOT be one of the “nearest the pin” spot prizes on offer on the Away Day! The balance required can be paid at the Leading Edge desk, via the competitions box or directly to Phil Wilson.”

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

Galvin Green Noah
trouser

Galvin Green Marlon
polo

Galvin Green Dane
sweater

These Galvin Green options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these Titleist 917 drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels and the SureFit CG sole weight, which lets us alter your shot shape. You’ll also benefit from the Active Recoil Channel that springs to increase ball speed and a face that is thinner in the heel and toe for long distance.

Have a great weekend, Dave
