Welcome back Gary
I travelled to Lurgan Golf Club on Monday to compete in the first PGA Alliance of the year, the weather was fantastic and we had a fun day. My golf didn’t match the weather as I pencilled in 15 pars and three bogeys in a very frustrating round of golf to shoot 73 and scrape a top eight finish. Plenty of practice needed. A special mention to my team member Gary Patterson who is back playing after a long illness, he showed his class by recording a solid 36 points. Welcome back Gary.

An ace week for Master Eddie The British Masters took place at Walton Heath in Surrey last week and was hosted by the local favourite, Justin Rose. The tournament had a stark weather contrast from start to finish with conditions declining and making it a real grind for the players. The caddies were certainly tested during the final round trying to keep their players warm and dry. It was a day of umbrellas, waterproofs and wearing the correct layering, which at this time of year can help or hinder your round. The tournament winner was Eddie Pepperell who dealt with the conditions the best and led from start to finish to claim a two shot victory. Eddie’s highlight of the week was his impressive hole in one on Thursday at the ninth hole, earning £20,000 for charity and a celebratory bottle of wine from the tournament host. Pepperell now moves up to 33rd in the world rankings and with it an invite to next year’s biggest tournaments including his first trip to The Masters at Augusta. If you need help layering up this winter then contact me here. |

What a relief As 2019 comes ever closer, so too do the new Rules of Golf which are to be implemented on 1st January 2019. The changes being made are intended to modernise the game, one of which is the dropping procedure. Drops will no longer have to be made from shoulder height – instead, golfers will be able to drop from knee height when taking relief to simplify the dropping process and speed up play. View all rules changes here. |
Wooly Hat
The Winter Woolly hat started last Wednesday with Ivan Owens taking top spot with 31 points. Julian Patterson took runner up with 30 points with John Sykes third with 29 points on countback from fourth placed Len Carson. The twos club paid out £11.00 each and all monies has been transferred to your Pro Shop accounts.
The Woolly Hat is played all day Wednesdays and is open to all members with a GUI handicap. It’s played over 14 holes (1-13th + 16th). Just book a time and tee it up. Bob always has some great Hat menus on offer for a bite to eat after your round.

Weekend Sweep
The Weekend Sweep started last week, it is run over the same 14 holes as the Winter League and runs over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mark Mckee kept his fine run of form going by shooting 28 points and winning this week’s sweep on countback from Chris Mawhinney. Third place went to Stephen Jefferson with 27 points. The twos paid out £20.00 each and all monies have been transferred into your Pro Shop accounts.

Ladies Winter Stableford
On Tuesday the ladies had terrible weather for their 12-hole competition with my partner from last week Ann Spence continuing her fine form to win with 23 points on countback from runner up Alison Sinnamon. Third place went to Ann Morrison with 22 points. There was a draw for the twos with each one paying out £9.75 each. |
Re-Draw for Winter League times
There is a Re-Draw for Saturday tee times this Sunday, 21 October at 5:00pm. This means DOUBLE the players can tee off in the early morning slots which is definitely the preferred time for many.
The one tee option was not popular with many winter Saturday players and I would like to thank the members who contacted me to let me know this. It will be resolved by this weekend which is great for everyone.
As always if any member needs help with their Saturday tee times please get in touch and if you are not playing on a given Saturday please take your name off the time sheet which is now live online 24/7.

The profile is smaller than the current P770 which will appeal to the better player, they are forged to deliver superb feel with the longer irons(3 - 7) filled with Speedfoam to increase forgiveness and distance through faster ball speeds.

Rain doesn't stop play!
Last Saturday although the golf course remained open for play was somewhat of a washout, pictured below is David Cook, Simon Miskelly and Pat Davis who decided to venture indoors and play ‘the Emirates Club’ instead. In the swing studio, they had a few hours of fun and didn’t get soaked.
If you would like to find out how to book the studio or to find out what we have to offer give me a call on 028 904 83825.

When you step onto the tee with a driver in hand, there are two thoughts in most golfers' minds: "Hit it far, and hit it straight". Both of these were easier said than done, until Titleist released its new TS2 and TS3 drivers earlier this year... |
Both of these drivers are designed to bring more speed to your game, which results in greater distance. It's as simple as that. The Titleist TS2 is all about forgiveness. In fact, it has the highest MOI that Titleist has ever produced, which means it's more resistant to twisting at impact, for longer and straighter shots. However, if you have a consistent miss with your drives, the TS3 will be perfect for you as we can set it up to counter your destructive shot. With two models to choose from, it's more important than ever to come and see us for a custom fitting. What numbers will you be putting up on the Titleist board? |
