Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter.

I hope you have had a great week on and off the course this week.

Enjoy the read!

Ladies news

A Busy Week

It’s been a busy time for the ladies section with the latest results below:

August Qualifiers

Stableford - won by Marie Eaton with 36 points

9-hole Stableford - won by Jo Fisher with 14 points

Sunday Stableford- won by Belinda Court with 36 points.

Final Stableford Trophy

Congratulations to Leigh Peplow beating the field with a great score of 38 points to win the RW Smith Cup. Well played Leigh.

The Daily Mail Foursomes is an annual competition open to golf clubs in England, Scotland and Wales. The winning ladies pair who will represent the club in the knockout stages are Andrea Kiernan and Jeanette Palmer with a nett 74.5. Good luck in the next round ladies!

Our team of Janice Kerr and Viv Cranton have progressed to the 7th round of the 2019 competition, playing at home against a team from Monmouthshire Golf Club. Fingers crossed for you ladies...

In other news our ladies were unsuccessful in their friendly away match at Gaudet Luce, losing 3-1. Never mind ladies, you can’t win them all!

And Eileen Tolley and Jenny Dalloway represented the club in the Charles Heeley Challenge Bowl final hosted by Little Aston Golf Club. Whilst not in the prizes, an enjoyable day was had, and for those who know the course, with lots of practice getting out of bunkers!

Junior news

18 Hole Competition

Well done to Oli Smith for winning the junior 18 hole comp on Sunday after his lesson and putter fitting with a superb 69.

Oli gets £14.00 on his RGC card.

See the updated Order of Merit from the last few comps inc. the Junior Open... It's tight at the top!

Well done also to our Junior Open gross winner - Ben Lazenby with a marvellous 81 (+9). The nett competition was won by Nathan Wood with a nett 67 (-5).

Gents news

August Sunday Stableford

There were four scores in the 40's in the August Sunday Stableford, though Dan Reed's 42 was top of the shop.

Men's Final Medal

Some excellent scores were posted in the men's' final medal. Joe Adams managed a quite sublime nett 61, excellent golf! Joe is an excellent sportsman, has played a very high level of football and his handicap was always going to plummet now he has started playing more golf.

Tommy Fellows' nett 64 topped the charts in division 1, a long time coming after Tommy has finally seen the back of his chipping woes.

John Uren posted a nett 67 to seal the deal in division 2, again a long time coming, John has worked tremendously hard on his game in the last 18 months after we've worked closely together on his game.

Battle of the irons

Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green?

Red corner - Titleist T300 irons

If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the T300 from Titleist. Not only does it come with added tungsten weighting in the toe for maximum forgiveness that you'll appreciate, but Max Impact technology provides incredible distance and feel across the entire face.

Blue corner - Titleist T100 irons

Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider the T100 model. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!

Video of the Week

We are often left amazed at some of the shots that the world's best golfers manage to pull off, but sometimes the stars aren't aligned and things can go wrong. Enjoy this week's video as we take a look back at some of the unluckiest shots ever seen on the European Tour.
