Do you know your distances?

One of the hottest products in golf at the moment are the distance measuring devices (DMD's), the watches from Bushnell and SkyCaddie start from just £129 and they really are an inexpensive way to improve your golf and enjoyment of the game. I've just read a survey by the National Golf Foundation (NGF) that shows some interesting results - it shows that the benefits of DMD's go well beyond the provision of an accurate yardage. The survey revealed that over two-thirds of core golfers in the NGF's panel use DMD devices or apps during the majority of their rounds and derive clear psychological and performance benefits from them when on the golf course.

Crucially, almost 80% of golfers report increased 'shot confidence' while using a DMD. This creates a more committed golf swing, with the naturally-positive effect on the shot outcome evidenced in a related statistic showing that 39% of golfers say they have carded lower scores while using a DMD. Unsurprisingly, over one third of DMD users in the survey also report an increase in their enjoyment of golf, directly attributed to the use of a DMD in their golf game. Another key additional benefit of DMD usage, revealed by the NGF survey, is increased speed of play - 52 percent of golfers reported that their round of golf is faster when DMD's are being used properly as they have a quick and accurate distance at their fingertips.

If you would like to view one of these brilliant devices call in to the shop now and we can show you the range!

Midweek Stableford

The December Midweek Stableford was played yesterday, the winner was Andy Margeson with a fine score of 42 stableford points including a birdie on hole fifteen. Phil Carr had two birdies in his 39 points total to finish in second and third place went to Alan Tayler on 38 points.

Winter League round up

We are now over halfway through the Winter League group stages after the fifth round was played on Saturday, the latest winners were husband and wife Alan and Pauline Nevin who scored 24 points. Antony Green and Dave Johnson fired two birdies in their 23 point total and defending champions James Eaton and Julie Daines again played steadily in placing third.

The next round of the Winter League is on Sunday 11th January.

The top four standings going into Christmas are:

  1. James Eaton & Julie Daines 110 points
  2. Antony Green & Dave Johnson 106 points
  3. Dave Shering & Kieran Underwood 106 points
  4. Ian Daines & Keira Wharton 103 points

After the Winter League Chris Bird held a Captain's Christmas get together in which he provided drinks and mince pies and everyone put lots of effort in with the Christmas jumpers and hats which made for a great afternoon and a good time was had by all. Here are some photographs:

   

   

Golfers profile

Every week we will be bringing you a profile of a member here at Hartford Golf Club, this week we bring you 6 handicapper James Eaton:

How long have you been playing golf and what is your handicap? - 'I've been playing since 2006 and a member at Hartford since 2007, my current handicap is 6'

Your favourite course that you have played? - 'Maybe not the best I have played but definitely my favourite is Southport and Ainsdale, I have so many good memories from playing this great championship links course. - I won a Pro-Am there a few years ago with our club Pro Adam Powell'

Have you ever had a hole in one? - 'Yes just the one, on the 2nd at Hartford. I was playing a friendly round with my brother Gareth and George Abbott (the best butcher in all of Weaverham) and his brother John'

Favourite and least favourite hole at Hartford? - 'Favourite - the third hole!! It's the most strategic hole and played point to point it's the most rewarding hole on the course. My least favourite - the ninth - it's just so tough to par especially now some bright spark had the initiative to dig a pond where those lovely gorse bushes used to be! Standing on the tee it's always the same question I ask myself - Do I drive the ball past the bunker and risk going for a swim? Or play short and safe and leave a testing long shot in?? HELP PLEASE!'

Your best round of golf? - 'Shooting a 66 in the Hartford charity day comp a couple of years ago'

Favourite professional golfer? - 'I've got to pick two - Seve Ballesteros - a genius with a golf club in his hand and the flair and charisma to match and Phil Mickleson - a true sportsman in every sense of the word! (Oh and what a short game!!)'

Who would you play with in your dream fourball? - 'I would go back to 1970's Las Vegas to meet Stu Ungar & Doyle Brunson, they were professional card players but Doyle was also a golfer who organised some of the highest stakes games ever played, in excess of $1 million per round (put in perspective 1st place prize in the 1979 U.S. Masters was $50,000). If I were to take on this pair in a fourball then I would need a partner who is both a good steady golfer and could bankroll the pair of us ….. Yep the only man at Hartford who can fill these shoes is our future Captain & cheeseburger eating champion *Liam Tyrer *(backed by banker Dave)!!'

The Seniors played a nine hole Strokeplay competition on Tuesday, the winner was senior Captain Graham Bower who continued his good form with a score of nett 31. In second place was Ken Powell on nett 33 and another from man Geoff Dodd was third also on nett 33.

Next week there is a seniors roll up over nine holes and the Seniors monthly 18 hole Stableford takes place on Tuesday 30th December.
