Enjoy the read. |
150th Celebrations
Saturday saw a terrific day with the start of our 150th celebrations. The double shotgun went seamlessly and, with the sun shining, the feedback on the event has been superb. With invited guests and members entred, both the Captain and Vice-Captain headed-up both events with Alan and Sean ensuring everyone was catered for in the clubhouse.
There was only one casualty due to an on-course injury during play, and it was great to see two full fields playing in a very competitive yet fun day. As those who played are aware, I took plenty of photos and once they all have been checked we will supply a link, so please keep your eyes peeled!

150th special products
Some special items are coming your way in the shape of Lundin bottled Gorse Gin and a special Whisky, so be sure to reserve your bottles at the club!

Practice facility
From next week the practice facility will be closed between the hours of 8am and 11am every Wednesday to ensure the team can have a maintenance window to create as little disruption as possible, should this change we will advise.

Early morning golf
Could we please ask all the early morning golfers to be aware of the green staff when out on the course. Now we have brighter and warmer mornings the course has become busier and to ensure Willie and his team can have the course ready for the days play the green staff have been advised they will have priority.

Ireland triumph as others impress
Whilst many of you spent the Bank Holiday weekend basking in glorious sunshine – and we don’t blame you – 16 pairs battled it out in the second edition of GolfSixes. Split into four round-robin groups to begin with, only the top two pairs from each could proceed to the quarter-final stage, which saw both all-female teams (England Women and European Women) and England Men make it through to the final eight along with Ireland who came out the eventual winners!
Ahead of golf’s unofficial fifth major taking place at TPC Sawgrass this weekend, Australia’s Jason Day has returned to world’s top 10 after a superb display at the Wells Fargo Championship. Taking place at Quail Hollow – the scene of last year’s PGA Championship – Day shot a gritty 69 on Sunday to finish two clear of his nearest challenger, admitting afterwards that he ‘had no idea where the ball was going, especially off the tee.’ For those of you wondering, yes Tiger Woods did play but he finished tied 55th. |
Perfect for cooler rounds Yes, we've enjoyed a record-breaking Early May Bank Holiday weekend without a sweater in sight, but the reality is temperatures will soon get a little cooler over the coming days. To combat the chill whilst on the course, especially early mornings or late evenings, consider a ProQuip quilted windproof, which provide lightweight warmth whilst blocking out any wind. |

Let’s face it: we all want to hit the ball further. Being able to hit longer drives gives you less club into the green, making everything that little bit easier. There are many ways you can try and generate more power during your swing, and nearly all of them start from the ground up. |
Trust your footwear Despite his small frame, tour star Rickie Fowler is renowned for his power. As you can see in the three images above, he pushes off from his right foot through impact and relies on great grip and stability to ensure the power his body is creating doesn’t come at the cost of control. Having a strong base is something we should all aspire for. The FootJoy Tour-S can help you do this thanks to its PowerStrap that enhances support, plus its nine cleats per foot that offer maximum stability across a range of terrains. |
