Seniors news

Senior Interclub Matches

On the 14th June the Seniors visited Stafford Castle GC, the course was in fine condition and we managed a creditable 3.5 to 3.5 draw. We next look forward to Lichfield GC, Away on 21st June and Home on 28th June.

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.”

Winter vs summer

Summer golf throws up different requirements and skill sets to that of winter golf, and you’ll often find yourself in positions or playing shots that you wouldn’t necessarily face at the other times of the year. The checklist below highlights the main performance differences you’ll notice between seasons, with an emphasis on distance in the winter and control in the summer.

A great option all-year round
These factors can make settling on one ball confusing, so here are our thoughts on why the Wilson Staff DX2 Soft could be your perfect option. Not only does its larger inner core deliver low driver spin and faster ball speeds for winter distance you’ll love, but it also boasts a very low compression that creates soft feel and helps slower swinging players generate the high spin needed on firm summer greens.

An absolute breeze

We stock several different styles of spikeless golf shoe here in-store, which can make the ideal summer companion. If you’re considering a pair then here are a few options that we’d recommend coming to try on for size.

Why go for spikeless?
Spikeless golf shoes are designed to make walking the course a breeze, offering lightweight comfort, stability with plenty of cushioning and versatile nub-style outsoles that are both kinder to the greens and ideal for wear indoors and when driving to the club.

Take these two options from Skechers, for example. Both offer all the benefits we mentioned above, but the Elite V3 (first above) will suit those of you after a little more stability and a sporty look, while the Fairway Lead (second above) offers more of a lifestyle look you can take off the course.
