Junior news

Strength to strength

Our juniors continue to have great success on the course and a very big thank you to Coach Chambo for the junior squad coaching (pictured) which is really paying dividends.

This summer Adam has concentrated on how to get the most from practice sessions and congratulations to Jake Lawless who has been the first junior to complete and log a full practice plan for the summer holidays - winning a dozen Titleist golf balls.

The big test of how those games have improved and how routines will stand up to pressure comes this Sunday with the boys v girls Milton semi-final showdown. PMGC A (Kai, Morgan, Euan, Harry plus squad members Sam, Rajeev and Adam) and PMGC C (Jade, Shivani, Emily, Hannah plus squad members Megan and Ellie) have both topped their leagues in the Northamptonshire Junior League and face off in the semi-final on Sunday morning at Rushden. may the best team win!

Another big thank you to the Pro Shop for generously sponsoring the inaugural Junior 3 Club Competition, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all the competitors. Showing that it's not all about smashing your driver 300 yards, were boys winner Adam Barker (40 points) and girls winner Lisa Johnston (37 points) - two great scores with only 3 clubs.

Away from the Milton fairways, well done to Kai Raymond who finished a creditable 20th in the national final of the Wee Wonders Tournament at St Andrews. Ellie Horsted was part of the winning Northamptonshire handicap team at the Midlands South Girls Championships. Jade Roberts and Shivani Karthikeyan both won their matches as Northamptonshire Girls Scratch Team won the Midlands South Regional Final.

Milton's juniors continue to play well in the Northamptonshire Junior Order of Merit with Oscar Bell and Jacob Williams having several great results in the boys event, Shivani Kathikeyan winning again in the latest round at Cold Ashby to head the girls standings and Isaac Wakefield also winning at Cold Ashby to move into the grand final reckoning for the 9 hole academy players.

Finally good luck to Robin Williams, who has recently been selected for the Junior Ryder Cup in a couple of week’s time, and also heads off to Finland this weekend to represent Great Britain and Ireland Under 18s against the Continent of Europe in the Jacques Leglise Trophy. No doubt the 2019 Walker Cup selectors will be watching closely. Play well Robin and let's hope GB&I bring the trophy home.

Setting your sights

How many times do you find yourself lining up your shot and thinking "this is about an 8-iron from here to the pin", only to find that you end up 10-15 yards short of the hole? Being able to utilise accurate yardages is a key step to taking your game to the next level, which is why we'd recommend using a GPS device to ensure you always know exactly how far you have left to the pin.

Information at a glance

If you are yet to make the step into GPS assistance, why not try out the Garmin Approach S20? The watch's high-sensitivity GPS receiver gives you the distance data you need to fire away with confidence and hone in on the pin. You'll have distance to the front, back and middle of the green, as well as hazards, doglegs and layups.

We're here to help

The season is coming to a close and that means it's more important than ever to work hard on the parts of your game that are letting you down. Maybe you aren't getting enough distance on your drives or perhaps your chipping simply isn't up to scratch - either way, we're here to help.

Lessons and coaching

If you find yourself making poor decisions time and time again, why not book yourself in for a playing lesson so that we can help you to think your way to a better score? Alternatively, come and speak to us about a long-term plan - we offer various lesson packages which we can tailor to suit your needs.

Have you been custom fitted?

Custom fitting is particularly helpful and it's not just for low handicappers either - the more you struggle with distance and accuracy, the more there is to gain from playing with clubs that are tailored to your swing. We stock several brands in-store, each with a model in their line-up to suit mid to high handicappers, so come and challenge us to improve your game - we're certain we can.
