PGA Tankard Final On Tuesday I travelled to Castkerock Golf Club on Tuesday with Ann Spence and Stephen Rogan (pictured below) to compete in the Regional Final of the PGA Tankard. Anne and Stephen had qualified by winning our club competition earlier in the year. It was blowing a gale with gusts up to 70km per hour. The course was fantastic but playing super tough, a big congratulations to Ann who played great golf to finish third in the ladies’ section with 28 points.
I finished runner up in the Pro Event with a +2, 34 points and we finished third in the team event. Thanks for a fun days golf. |

Important notice
This Sunday you may notice on the time sheet that the course is closed from 12:00 - 4.20pm, this is to facilitate for the annual Putter competition where the men play the ladies. You can still play the full 18 holes but members need to be OFF the front nine by 2:00pm as the competition is a shotgun start. The front nine is closed, so play over the back nine will not be hindered.

Promoting better drainage
This week we sanded the ‘problem’ areas of the course to promote better drainage. The tonnes of sand at the bottom of the car park are now spread evenly over large parts of the course. The sand will make its way into the soil and help to break up the thatch layer, hence let the water drain more freely. |
The investment in the sanding of fairways is one of the main reasons why we stay open for play in the wet periods more than most. Many of our local courses nearby are reduced to nine holes play in the winter, we are proud that we can offer a good playing surface all year round. |

Sometimes it's nice to reminisce about the good times. When it comes to golf, the days of persimmon woods, small clubheads and hitting balls which were hard as a rock are long gone - but it can help to take a trip down memory lane to remind us of just how much technology has developed, particularly in the case of drivers. |
Time tunnel
Take TaylorMade for example; you might have been lucky enough to own its iconic r7 Quad driver way back in 2004. The r7 was memorable for introducing the then-revolutionary concept of changeable weights in a driver, which was a massive shift from the conventional 'one weight fits all' approach. The r7 Quad is a classic club, and is certainly remembered with fondness. Fast-forward to the present day and TaylorMade has released its most technologically advanced driver to date in the form of the M3. The M3 really shows just how far we've come in terms of moveable weights, with a Y-Track feature that allows golfers to adjust their settings for optimal trajectory, maximum forgiveness, or less spin. So, whilst it is nice to think about your first ever driver, it's probably time to get up to speed with the latest models such as the M3. Who knows? Maybe in another 10 years time, you'll be looking back on the M3 with as much fondness as the r7 Quad! |
