Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. Temperatures have certainly plummeted over the past 10 days, those who played in the October Stableford on Sunday can certainly vouch for that as the previous week was shorts and shirt sleeves, and this week was waterproofs, woolly hats and mittens! Enjoy this week’s read!

Competition news

October Stableford

With the above said, the field for the stableford was pretty full, only a few withdrawals on the morning of the event, down to injuries apparently……….not the weather!

The weather however was no match for Perry Hanifan, whose fine score of 39 points was tied for the top score of the day with Ian Dawson, with Perry scoring 22 points on the back 9 to win on countback.
In Division 1, Niall Higgins led the way with 36 points, he was also tied by Patrick McCoy, but Niall’s better second nine of 21 saw him take top spot on countback.

Halloween Gruesome Greensomes

The Ladies played a Halloween Gruesome Greensomes event on Tuesday, with 34 players taking part. Well done to Cheryl Power & Aileen Kershaw who beat Ann Greatorex & Carole Gilbey on countback.

1st - Cheryl Power & Aileen Kershaw = 39 points

2nd - Ann Greatorex & Carole Gilbey = 39 points

3rd - Sue Tester & Diana Roberts = 35.5 points

Bags of fun

Winter is coming, but we know that won't prevent you avid golfers getting out on the course to face biting winds, muddy shoes and, most of all, rain. Lots and lots of rain. With this in mind, it's more important than ever to have a golf bag which will keep your clubs and belongings dry during a downpour.

Introducing BIG MAX Aqua Space

This is where a cart bag like the Aqua Space comes into play. This bag has been designed with 100% waterproof material, including nine taped-seam waterproof zip pockets so that everything will be kept dry for the whole round no matter what the weather holds in store.

The nine pockets also mean it's spacious enough for your extra layers (think waterproofs, jumpers, woolly hat, mitts etc) whilst there are specific holders for your umbrella, towel and glove; you’ll be ready for whatever gets thrown at you this winter.

What do you take from this?

As golfers, there's nothing more satisfying than a shot which is perfectly executed - even if it is a rare occurrence for many of us. It could be a booming drive which splits the fairway down the middle, or maybe a wedge shot which stops dead, two feet away from the hole. In fact, when you consider how often we use our wedges during a round of golf - see the graph below - the latter is something that we should all be striving to achieve.

Average % of shots for a club golfer

So, what do you take from the graph above? In our eyes, it highlights just how important your short game is. We see a lot of you spending time hitting balls on the range, which is great, but don't neglect the less glamorous side of the game when practising - it's where your score is 'made'.

We can't stress the benefits of having wedges that are suited to every aspect of your game either. With a wedge like Callaway's Mack Daddy 4, we can take you through a custom fitting to find out which of its four sole grinds will help you strike the ball more consistently, as well as ensuring you have no gaps between clubs for the perfect wedge system.
