Competition news

November Medal

We played our November Medal on Saturday and it was another decent turn out for a winter competition, the course was in fantastic condition as usual and Course Manager Dave has the greens in pristine condition. They were true but also pretty quick for the time of year which gave a few members a surprise early in their rounds!

Scoring has been excellent in the last few competitions and on Saturday there was another good winning score as Tim Barnes returned to winning ways with a 44 point score, it's fair to say that Tim had a pretty quiet summer and his handicap had been drifting the wrong way as he was on the verge of going up to 11. This is no longer the case now though as he played some great golf on Saturday with a front nine of 23 and back nine of 21 points.

Tim scored back to back birdies on holes 5 and 6 but the real basis of his round was an excellent short game, on several occasions he found himself in trouble off the green but hit some brilliant chips to make four or five crucial up and downs from precarious spots. Tim's long awaited victory sees his handicap fall to 9.7 and his golf is going in the right direction again!

Interestingly Tim was also playing with a new ball model - the Titleist AVX ball, and he put this down to why his chipping and putting was so much better at the weekend, it could well be a ball worth trying for many of our readers!!

15 year old Ben Barrow has been in good form of late and this continued on Saturday as he took runners up position with a 40 point total, Ben didn't even score on the 3rd hole but that was his only real blemish as he had a birdie on the 8th hole both times around. Ian Daines was his usual steady self as he scored 40 points in third position and he also augmented his lead in the Order of Merit as he looks to achieve the double after a summer success.

This Saturday we play the third round of the popular Winter League, and don't forget our fun rules night social event at 7:30pm on Friday 23rd November - there is a sign-up sheet on the notice board.

Seniors Section

It's a long course for the seniors at the moment, the fairways have softened and the yellow tees have been quite far back but we will begin to move them forward each week as we really get into the winter season. Nevertheless there were still some good scores in last Tuesday's 18 hole Stableford and top of the pile was Pete Dawson with a 41 point winning score, Pete played very consistent golf and the key to his success was that he scored at least 1 point on every hole. The highlight of his round was a birdie 3 on the sixth hole and his handicap has now fallen to 16.

Graham Bower had an up and down round in scoring his 39 points in second place, from the 2nd to the 6th holes he went...3,9,3,5,3 so there were a couple of 4 point holes in there, the back nine was a bit steadier however and he couldn't quite match Pete's winning score. Alan Nevin was the only other player to beat his handicap in third place on 37 points.

Electric dreams

Winter golf can be very enjoyable if you're fully prepared, but a thing of nightmares if you're not. We know many of you use a Motocaddy electric trolley to transport your bag around the course, but do you have the correct winter accessories attached to get you through your round?

Deluxe Trolley Mittens

Designed to fit any Motocaddy trolley, these are perfect for any golfer whose hands suffer during the winter. As well as providing maximum warmth, these fleece-lined mittens also improve your trolley's control across any slippery surface you might happen to come across.

Hedgehog Winter Wheels

If you play a lot of golf during the winter - either here or at another club - the chances are you'll be asked to use 'winter wheels' on your trolley to help protect the course. They come with an anti-skid tread design, and are designed to reduce turf drag in wet ground conditions.

Universal Umbrella Holder

We all know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be putting your umbrella up and down between shots. With this umbrella holder from Motocaddy, you'll be able to keep yours up for the whole round - just make sure you've got an accessory station if you have a new M-Series trolley.

Spotlight: TaylorMade P760 irons

When two irons are replaced by a single model, you can guarantee the new iron is going to be something special.

The P760 - which replaces the P770 and P750 - delivers both accuracy and distance within a forged players iron. The scoring clubs (PW-8) are clean and compact, whilst the longer irons (7-3) are filled with SpeedFoam for increased ball speed at the top end of your bag.
