Get Into Golf Many of you will be aware of our beginner’s membership at the club - £150 which gets you 10 lessons and 5 rounds. It’s been very popular and a great way to boost membership. We’ve had several ladies and gents taking up this deal but its important that after the lessons the member is then integrated into the club and we feel the best way for us to achieve this is to have representatives from each section.
We’re lucky enough to have our Ladies representatives Jane, Ruth and Sheila, they’ve been doing a great job going out with the beginners on the course every Tuesday night to give them a chance to practice the shots they have been learning in the lessons, learning etiquette and meeting new friends.
Below is Janes blog about last nights action. If you’re a beginner and interested in getting involved or if you're interested in helping with gents beginners, please contact Jane or myself.

Janes Beginners Blog The rain was kind and stopped just as we started and it stayed off! It actually turned out a good evening although a bit windy in places. The course was very different from previous weeks due to the change in the weather and it was a lot harder to get out of the semi-rough. Jill, Susan and Lesley went off first with Sheila walking round with them. All were playing well and hitting good balls. We all played 1-6 and crossed at 10 where we then all payed 10 and 11 together as a six. The light was fading and it means we will only get a couple more weeks at this time. We were struggling to see our balls coming down the 11th Joyce used her 7 iron most of the time and her rescue club off the tees, and she was hitting the ball well with her 7 iron. Kristie had some problems with her driver but had a magnificent drive at the 11th to make up for it. Her pitching shots to the green were great and she had a fantastic bunker shot at 5th which I missed! Putting was definitely an area were we could all improve! We saw a deer at the 6th green with Susan, Jill and Lesley about to play to the green and Joyce, Kristie and myself on the tee – I think it was surprised to see us all. I have booked 6.30 next week so hope to see you all there! Jane.

Hat-trick for Koepka What a few years the big-hitting American is having. Since making his debut in the 2016 Ryder Cup, where he won three out of a possible four points, Brooks has secured three Major championships, including back-to-back U.S. Opens and last week’s PGA Championship. Koepka took a two-shot lead into Sunday’s final round and couldn’t have dreamt for a better start; booming a 325-yard drive down the fairway before hitting his approach to six-foot for an opening birdie. A little wobble in the middle of his front nine was quickly addressed with birdies on seven, eight and nine, at which point a certain Tiger Woods was making a charge. But Koepka showed his quality by shooting a flawless two-under-par back nine, holding off challenges from Woods, Scott and Thomas to claim his third Major title in his last six Major starts. There’s always a real buzz surrounding golf's four biggest events, especially in a Ryder Cup year as we eagerly watch on to see who’ll make the respective teams come September, but Tiger’s challenge in last month’s Open Championship and last week’s PGA Championship has got golf back on the front pages once again. Maybe, just maybe, we're beginning to see Tiger getting back to his incredible best, which can only be a positive for the sport. |

[* END *] Introducing Cleveland RTX 4 |
Trying to hit your wedge shots the same way as the pros can be frustrating, especially when you see the amount of spin they achieve from all sorts of lies. Yes, technique plays a part, but so does having a set of wedges that you can trust in every situation. |
A wedge fit for tour Available in September, Cleveland's latest wedge incorporates feedback from some of the world's best golfers, such as Graeme McDowell, to make this their most tour-authentic wedge to date. As the name suggests, the RTX 4 is the fourth generation of the RTX family, with each seemingly better than the last. Cleveland says the RTX 4 will provide ultimate short game control, thanks to increased spin generation from their sharpest grooves to date. So, if you're serious about improving around the greens, come and speak to us about a custom fitting. |
