Competition news

Vets Autumn Meeting

The Vets Autumn Meeting took place on Friday and with a great turnout as always, the results were as follows:

1st - John Pettitt = 35pts
2nd - Dave Peach = 35pts
3rd - Peter Battle = 35pts
4th - Stuart Cullum = 35pts
5th - John Sowden = 35pts

September Stroke

On the weekend, 122 players competed in the September Stroke over division 1 and 2. In division 1, Andy Moore’s nett score of 65 (which included a 2 on the 12th) was good enough to win by 1 shot. In second place was David Ahmad with a nett 66 and 3rd place was Jack O’Hare with a nett 67.
Division 2 had an element of shock to it. No one would have predicted Dave Paterson would shoot a nett 65 and win! This was 2 shots clear of Josh Myford in 2nd place and in 3rd place was Dave Allen with a nett 70 beating Les Butler on countback.

Ladies Stableford

The ladies played a modified waltz format for their stableford event on Tuesday. Playing as a team of 3, they would count one score on Hole 1, 2 scores on Hole 2, 3 scores on Hole 3 then back to 1 score on Hole 4 and so on. Below are the scores from the event. Congratulations to Angela, Maggie and Alex.

1st - Angela Darby, Maggie Page, Alex Johnson = 75pts
2nd - Penny Forrest, Evelyne Butler, Maureen Hitchins = 72pts
3rd - Sharon Jagger, Diana Roberts, Leona Bishop = 69pts

Pro's news

Captain & Pro

Phil and I played our final Captain & Pro match of his year on Monday afternoon against John Newton and John Sowden, these two had not lost a Captain & Pro Match as far as I know, so we were keen to make sure this pattern didn’t continue!

Phil was off to a fast start with a nett 3 at the 1st and the 3rd to see us into a 3up lead, the match stayed around that score until we won the 11th to cross the road 4up. John N made a fine 2 at 13 to pull one back and John S made a 4/3 at 16 to keep the match alive but Phil made his 4th nett birdie of the day to seal a final victory 3&1.

Kent Captain’s Pro Am

The following day, I was invited to The Kent Captains Pro Am at Shooters Hill, with, lucky me, John Newton and John Sowden along with Alan Brooks. Although we had a thoroughly enjoyable day, we were a long way off any prizes, but a tip for any of you who play there in the near future, stay out of the trees left of the second, just ask John Sowden………

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with PING

Why not try combining the long irons of PING's G700 series with the short irons of the G400? The G700 contains low and deep weighting, which gives you higher launch and more forgiveness - ideal for your long irons. Combine this with the G400, which has a hydropearl chrome finish to help maintain the launch and spin rates of your short irons in all conditions, and you'll be feeling confident through the whole bag.

Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for?

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer that will guarantee you comfort and protection on the course is Under Armour’s Storm SF Snap Mock pullover. There’s no danger of getting wet thanks to its Storm technology, which repels water whilst also maintaining a good amount of breathability - two key performance benefits in the winter months.

Spotlight: Titleist TS drivers

The hugely exciting Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers have been the cause of some phenomenal performance gains for club golfers and tour professionals alike.

Titleist say it's stripped the driver down to its vital essence before building it back up to be faster, longer and better in every way possible. Well, there's only one way to find out - come and see us for a thorough custom fitting and put the TS to the test.
