Welcome to another edition of our newsletter recapping a former World Number one winning his first European Tour victory in four years and looking at why it's important to know the rules. Enjoy the read! |
Keep an eye out
I was out and about last week seeing some new products for next year, and some of it just looks incredible. I’m not allowed to say too much about the new Callaway range until January, but I can assure you, that you will be very impressed. I was also shown the new Mizuno range of woods which will arrive in store around February/March. One thing that Mizuno have always struggled with is producing woods to match the quality of their irons. However, they have made huge strides in rectifying this in recent years and the new range for next year will be their best yet. We will have a full range of fitting products for both brands again in 2019.

It keeps on getting better and better Between now and the 31st December 2018, if you purchase a new Motocaddy S-Series Lithium trolley, you'll be able to claim a FREE Motocaddy cart bag worth up to £199.99. But that's not all! In addition, we'll slash £50 OFF the price of S3 PRO and S5 CONNECT models during the promotion. What's not to like? |

Winter wheels
As the wetter, colder weather is really starting to appear, we would again request that all electric trolleys are fitted with winter wheels.
These can be fitted for as little as £25, and the difference they make to the course, and the life of your battery, is huge. Our main priority is to provide the best playing conditions for our members for as much as the year as possible, and winter wheels significantly protect areas of the course that would normally suffer from extreme damage caused by electric trolleys.

Amazone Collector
We have managed to get use of the Amazone Collector machine again this year, for collecting leaves and reducing areas of over grown shrubbery. Unfortunately, we only have it for one week but I’ve attached some photos of the work it has been used for. |
Saturday Stableford
Due to a rather small field, there were only prizes for first place in each division. Please see the results below. A Division
- 1st Place - Colin Drummond - 33 Points (bih) - £8.25.
B Division
- 1st Place - Les Conlin - 41 Points - £8.25.
The bonus ball was number 53 for the second week in a row and, again, nobody chose it. Therefore, there will be a £54 rollover next week. |
Westwood wins again Lee Westwood rolled back the years to claim his first European Tour title since 2014, as he shot a flawless final round of 64 to win the Nedbank Challenge. The Englishman carded six birdies and an eagle on Sunday, finishing three shots clear of overnight leader Sergio Garcia, who finished on 12-under. Westwood, who is a former World Number One, mentioned in his post-round interview that he has "got a bit of a process" he’s going through with his golf swing, which is helping him see and hit better shots. It goes to show that it’s never too late to make swing changes, even if you’re a top golfer.

Just remarkable... With the new Rules of Golf coming into play in January 2019, it’s more important than ever to pay close attention to the laws of the game; something which European Tour hopeful Gian-Marco Petrozzi found out the hard way last week. Petrozzi missed out on a potential place in the final stage of Q-School, after being penalised two strokes for ‘improving his line of play’. The Englishman was playing his final hole and had to hit a shot over a fairway bunker – to pace his yardage, he walked through the bunker and then raked his footprints in the sand before hitting his shot, resulting in an infringement of Rule 13-2 (improving your line of play). If you’re ever unsure of a ruling whilst out on the course, be sure to give the pro shop a call or come and speak to us after your round.

Tick another off your list

It's time to stop putting it off - Christmas is getting closer and closer, so you need to consider what will be going under the tree later this year. We're not just talking about the presents that you buy for loved ones and friends, but also what you want to be unwrapping come December 25th. |
 | | Garmin Approach S10 | A golfer who is not utilising the immense help that a GPS device provides is putting themselves at a major disadvantage over their playing partners. Knowing how far you have to the green (front, middle and back) as well as hazards is vital to hitting your next shot with confidence, which you can get from the Approach S10. |
 | | Garmin Approach S60 | If, however, you want a little bit more style and information from your GPS then we'd suggest Garmin's Approach S60. The choice of straps means you can choose one to suit your lifestyle off the course, whilst its full-colour maps and touchscreen face eliminates any guesswork during your round. |
