Mixed Weekend

36 golfers and a further 7 non-golfers enjoyed a busy three-day stay at Stoke by Nayland last weekend. Playing three rounds of ‘social’ golf over their two testing courses through the rolling ‘Constable countryside’ and in very pleasant weather conditions was surpassed only by the enjoyment of the associated non-golfing activities! Playing three different game formats resulted in the equal collective points winners being Chris Hunt and Richard Field. Well done to both!

More importantly, £190 was raised in fun-fines and generous donations going towards the Little Miracles Captains’ charity funds, for which Mike and Karen are most grateful. At the final prize-giving Vice-Captain Paul and Ladies Vice-Captain Sandra announced that the 2020 mixed weekend would be hosted at The Forest of Arden near Coventry, in early September next year.

Thanks - Mike

Junior news

Junior update…

In the last Junior Academy 9 hole competition of the summer it was 8 year old Sam Mayman who took the first prize with Isaac Hedger second and Thomas Glover third. All of our academy players have really improved their golf over the summer, well done to all of you!

In the annual match with the Ladies for the Christine Patrick Trophy, we again played a mixed Am/Am format and a good day was had by all. Taking the trophy home this year with 85 points was Roz Cuthbert, Rylan Thomas, Morgan Cresswell and Chris Laxton. Second place with 80 points went to Karen Trevor, Bernice Bandaranaike, Emily Horsted & Kai Raymond, just pipping Anne Lowrey, Mary Martin , Euan Herson & Finlay Hume on countback.

In the Junior Goblets, a strong 42 points saw Shivani Karthikeyan and Hannah Talbot put another trophy in the cabinet. Ollie Clark and Kai Raymond finished second on 40 points, just edging out Rylan Thomas and Morgan Cresswell on countback.

Well done to all the junior squad for a very successful summer holidays and with important semi-finals and finals still to come in September, we are looking forward to a great season finale!

Revealed: Our favourite trolleys of 2019

Push trolley or electric trolley? Do you have a preference or have you not really thought about it that much? We have both covered as we reveal the best trolleys money can buy in 2019, and both of these winners are available through your very own pro shop.

Push to pass - Motocaddy Z1

Happy to go around under your own power? Then you can’t go wrong with Motocaddy’s Z1 push trolley.

The Z1 is our top pick when it comes to value and practicality from a push trolley, not just because its lightweight nature is a joy to handle around the course, but also because the easy-to-fold two-step system makes it quick and easy to transport.

Go electric - Motocaddy S1

Want to take a load off and let the trolley do the bulk of the work? Then there are none better than Motocaddy’s electric S1.

A whisper-quiet 200W motor provides ample power throughout your round, allowing you to stay fresh for the back nine. Its stunning high-resolution LCD display has been updated for 2019 and keeps you ‘up to speed’ with battery life and speed settings.

Why the recent surge?

Here’s some homework for you: the next time you're watching golf on TV, keep an eye on the number of pros using putters with larger heads. Whilst some golfers still prefer the traditional blade style putters from years gone by, over 60% of PGA Tour players have a larger headed putter in their bag today – the question is: why?

High MOI putters

These are all to do with stability, feel and alignment. When you take a look at Scotty Cameron's Phantom X 12 and 6 models (pictured above) you will see what we mean.

The larger head style of both putters is designed to increase MOI, which is crucial as it means the putter face will twist less at impact, especially when struck away from the sweet spot.

How do they work?

It's all to do with the additional weight in the extremities of the head when compared to traditional blade style putters, which helps to keep the face stable through impact.

You might also find that a heavier and larger putter is easier to control, therefore improving your stroke. Either way, we have a great selection of putters waiting for you to try in-store.

Video of the Week

Golf equipment has come a long way in recent years but is there a more beneficial technology than the Boa Fit System? If you haven't tried shoes with Boa on yet then we couldn't recommend it highly enough, and here's a video detailing why they make such a difference compared with traditional laces.

Have a great weekend, happy golfing!
