Junior news

The busy summer is not over yet!

Congratulations to our Golf Sixes Squad who have racked up two good second placed finishes in the events at Northampton and Peterborough Milton in the last week. This means we are second in the league just one point behind Overstone with all to play for in the finale at Northants County at the end of September.

At Northampton, Isaac Hedger and Thomas Glover were first out and led from the front winning the best score of the day with 41 points, well done! Adam Symonds and Jack Lemmings came in with 38 points and it was a great Golf Sixes debut for Lily and Hannah Eagling with 35 points.

Adam, Thomas, Isaac, Jack, Hannah & Lily

At the Milton event, Isaac and Thomas couldn't quite match their Overstone form although Thomas bagged the long drive prize. Adam Symonds and Beau Bowden had Milton's best performance with 39 points, Gabriel Bowden and 7 year old Tom Symonds (great debut Tom) had a very good 36 points. Hannah and Lily did well again against much more experienced opposition and Hannah hit a stunning shot to a few inches from the hole to win the nearest the pin prize. Congratulations to the Overstone team who are playing great golf at the moment and won both events to take the lead at the top of the table.

Golf Sixes League Table (One event to go)
1st - Overstone = 11 points
2nd - Peterborough Milton = 10 Points
3rd - Northampton = 6 points
4th - Northants County = 4 points

Over in the Northamptonshire Junior League it is Peterborough Milton's C team who have joined the B team in the semi-finals next month. The A team's last putt defeat at Kettering last week meant that the C squad (Shivani, Rylan, Ollie, James, Oscar) could not be caught at the top of the table but honour was still at stake in the final league game in the all Milton "A v C" showdown. And it was the A team who took the honours, Euan beating Shivani 3&2, Morgan beating Oscar out in the country and finally Kai beating Rylan on the last green to crown a great performance by the A team but it was not quite enough to catch the C team who had already secured the semi-final spot with stunning away wins at Kettering and Overstone.

Finally thanks to Adam for very generously sponsoring the Junior 3 club challenge. Ellie Horsted posed the question "who needs 14 clubs" by getting a very creditable winning 33 points with her choice of 6 iron, wedge and putter. Kai Raymond's 31 points secured second place.

Revealed: Our top driver of 2019

Looking for a new driver this year? There is plenty of choice out there so why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Callaway’s Epic Flash has set our pulses racing this year?

“The Epic Flash offers excellent ball speed”

Not for the first time this year we are raving about Callaway’s Epic Flash driver, where Artificial Intelligence has played a major role in creating a radical face design known as Flash Face:

“Flash Face is designed to give you maximum amount of ball speed across the face”

And it certainly does that, especially on off-centre hits! One swing of the club and we reckon you'll be hooked as the added bonus of the beautiful green, black and yellow colourway leaves us drooling when taking it out of the bag.

So, now is the time for you to come down and demo the Epic Flash driver and let us correctly set-up the club to suit your swing during a custom fitting session.

Flop shot required

Type ‘flop shot’ into Google and Phil Mickelson’s name will be at the top of the search. The five-time Major champion is the go-to guy when it comes to shots around the green, especially the flop shot. So, if you want to follow suit and impress your golfing partners, here’s our guide to this magical shot.

Technique

The first thing you must do is accelerate through the ball and stay aggressive. It's when we get a little scared or take our eye off the ball that things start to go wrong, all of which we can explain during a short game lesson.

Wedge

Your wedge plays a vital role with worn grooves and incorrect bounce leaving you at risk of a bladed shot through the green. Nightmare!

TaylorMade’s Milled Grind Hi-Toe wedges are arguably the best around to execute this shot properly as the 4-way sole in the higher-degree wedges enables you to get the ball popping up in the air and stopping quickly.

Spotlight | Titleist TS hybrids

TS2 or TS3?

You will probably recognise these names from the new drivers that Titleist released last year. Well, they've carried on their pursuit of speed and have conjured up these two beauties as a result.

Both offer extreme yet controllable distances, along with more forgiveness when compared to previous Titleist hybrids.

The TS2 has a larger head and is arguably easier to hit, whilst the TS3 comes with the SureFit CG for ball flight control.

Video of the Week

There aren't too many Guinness World Records when it comes to golf, but here's a video of four European Tour players trying to get their hands on one of them! Enjoy.

Have a great weekend, happy golfing!
