The August Medal has now been brought forward to Sunday 23rd September from Sunday 7th October and the George Mountford has been moved back from Sunday 23rd September to Sunday 7th October.

This is to enable the Handicap Qualifying competition to be played in better conditions and also to allow us to have an August Medal winner playing in the Medal Final on Sunday 30th September.

Course news

Greens Update

The self-setters in front of the Men’s 3rd Medal tee have been removed; this will open the remainder of the tee up for play.

Tree work – On the 19th and 20th September 2018 due to tree work on the bank next to the path leading from the 12th green to the 13th tee the 12th green will be on the temporary green, and the 13th and 14th holes will be closed for safety reasons. Please plan your golf accordingly, if we are able to open the holes earlier it will be done.

Club news

Club house report

The House Management Team would like to take the opportunity to make some changes to the catering arrangements provided on a Monday to members. Historically, the catering has had a low level of income on a Monday, consequently we run at a loss when we take into account fixed costs and wages.

It is our desire with your assistance to trial a method where we reduce staffing levels on a Monday and offer a less selective choice of menu, although continuing to be wholesome.

Your co-operation and assistance will be greatly appreciated and during the trial period of 6 months, your views on the trial will be most welcome.

Could I also remind members that the kitchen area is restricted to employees and House staff and should not be entered by Club members. The kitchen staff can be alerted by ringing the bell provided on the bar.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

P. Nixon A Doherty
House Management Team

Titleist Speed Project arriving soon

As the name suggests, Titleist's new metalwoods are all about speed and distance. If you're an avid watcher of golf on TV, you may have seen some of the world's best golfers - Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott to name a few - using the new TS woods from Titleist over the past few months. Well, we're delighted to announce they'll be landing in-store this month so that you can add some distance to your game. If you want to be one of the first to try them, get in touch via the button below.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you prefer a more modern look, why not try the TP Red-White Ardmore 3?

Alignment is improved considerably thanks to the red-white contrast, which helps golfers envision a proper path from the ball to the hole. Various head shapes with different sightlines in the Ardmore range means there'll be a sightline to suit every golfer's eye.

Something different
Alternatively, the Spider Tour from TaylorMade is certainly for those who prefer a larger head.

This putter's used by some of the world's very best golfers, such as Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. A recent addition is the sightline on the crown, helping to dial in your focus over every putt as well as act as an extension to the line on your ball when lining up your putts.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

Mizuno MP-S ball

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The MP-S from Mizuno is their softest, most responsive ball to date, yet still offers impressive long game distance for mid to high swing speed golfers.

Mizuno JPX ball

The JPX ball is Mizuno's softest two-piece golf ball, keeping it nimble around the greens whilst being quick off the clubface. You should also notice longer and more stable tee shots in the wind thanks to its micro-dimple cover.

I hope you enjoyed the newsletter have a great weekend.
