Senior news

Leading Edge 12 - Monday 22nd October

The final Leading Edge competition for this season had a turnout of 70 seniors on a sunny October day. The results were as follows:

Division 1
1st - G Clarke = 40 points, 2nd - B Griffiths = 39 points, 3rd - B Preece = 39 points

Division 2
1st - D Thorneycroft = 43 points, 2nd - R Charman = 36 points, 3rd - K Harrison = 36 points

With the completion of this season Leading Edge, I am sure you would like me to pass on a big thank you to John Johnston and Brian Bateman for organising, man the sign in desks and closing the competitions. They have done a great job keeping a lot of grumpy old men very happy.

The overall results for the leading edge will be announced at the presentation dinner in December so we wait with interest to see who’s won the overall prizes. Many thanks to all for taking part this year.

John and Brian are organising a normal winter series of senior competitions, watch the noticeboard for the first of these on 12th November. We look forward to see you all.

Ladies news

Club news

Totally bunkers!

The proposed changes to the Rules of Golf are less than three months away so we thought we'd look at one introduction which will put your mind at ease when you find yourself in a tricky situation within a bunker...

You may not be aware but under the current ruling, you cannot take relief outside the bunker once you've already made an attempt to play the ball from inside. However, under the proposed changes (19.3b), and for two penalty strokes, you will have the additional option of taking relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball back on the line from the hole through where your ball was at rest in the bunker. Phew.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Wilson Staff PMP

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Wilson Staff’s PMP. It has wider grooves and laser-etched Micro Spin lines, which are designed specifically for more control on shots into and around the greens. The three sole options - Traditional, Tour Grind and Wide - give you the variation you’ll need to successfully conquer even the tightest of pin locations.

Spotlight: Skechers Focus 2

Picture the scene: you've walked off the golf course after being drenched for the majority of your round and head for the changing rooms. You take off your golf shoes and what do you encounter?

With a waterproof shoe like Skechers' GO GOLF Focus 2, wet socks and damp insoles will be a thing of the past. What's more, it is sleek and low-to-the-ground to provide incredible stability in all conditions.

Video of the Week

The new TS drivers from Titleist have been causing quite a stir around the club since their launch last month, and it's easy to see why when you watch this video review.

Have a great weekend, Dave
