Asmir Begovic comes to the Chase Golf, Health Club & Spa
On Tuesday, Stoke City F.C's No1 goalkeeper Asmir Begovic came to the golf club for a full Nike club fitting. His fitting appointment was scheduled for 3pm down in The Performance Centre, which he arrived shortly after for in his brand new 64 plate AMG Mercedes. Alongside him were his agent and his golf coach and we were ready to go.
Firstly Dan talked him through the fitting process and went on to fit his irons. At 6ft 7" tall you can imagine that he would hit the ball long. Some of his 7-irons shots were carrying 200 yards and straight! We then moved onto his driver fitting which resulted in only the one shot downstairs, because he managed to hit the roof on his follow through.
So instead we headed up to the range with the GC2 to carry out his driver fitting. This all ran very smoothly and he thanked us for a great afternoon and said that he would tweet about his experiance at The Chase Golf Club which can be seen below. Asmir will receive all of his newly fitted clubs from Nike due to him wearing Nike football boots week in and week out in the Premier League.
Below is the clubs and specificationsAsmir Begovic ended up having:
Vapor Speed Irons 3-SW - 1" inch longer, 4 degrees upright, stiff dynalite steel shaft
Vapor Flex Fairway wood - ¾ "longer, Blueboard stiff 70g graphite shaft
Vapor Speed Driver - ½" longer, Blueboard stiff 70g graphite shaft

Well done to Martin Fletcher and Simon Baker on winning the overall Winter League with a best 8 score of 302.
On Monday the junior section had their annual presentation for 2014. Katrina would like to thank all the juniors and parents for attending and congratulate all the winners in 2014. We look forward to a very successful year in 2015 with all the new junior members.
A couple of juniors that need a mention:
Sam Ruston- A very successful year in 2014 for Sam, he reduced his handicap from 12 - 4 and is now attending the Lee Westwood school where he studies and plays golf. He was also our Junior Captain for 2014 and led the team to some great wins.
Liam Bills - we are please to announce that Liam has made The Chase his home club. We are very proud to hear this and look forward to the success that Liam will achieve this year. In 2014 Liam won the Men's and junior club championships. He also had huge success playing for the county team.
Alfie White - Alfie also had a successful 2014 dropping his handicap from 28 - 17. A lot of you have already seen or even played with Alfie, he is a very active player amongst the men's section and it is great to see everyone welcome him into their 4 ball even if he does show 1 or 2 of you how it's supposed to be done. He also did very well in our club TNL during the summer. We look forward to seeing a lot more of him in 2015.
Holly Branson - Holly only joined the club in 2014 but has been playing on regular basis, her dedication and practice ethic at the age of 10 astounds me. She constantly wants to learn more and better herself with improvement in her performance and the knowledge of the game. Holly got her first handicap of 54 in the summer but that soon dropped to 46. She has worked very hard this winter not missing any golf sessions, I am expecting huge things from this young girl this season.
Olivia Whittle - congratulations to Olivia on winning 4 of the Under 11 competitions in 2014. This little 9 year old could be one of the starts of the future. I wish all the juniors a success in 2015. This year we will have one of our strongest junior teams and look forward to working along side them.
