Coaching news

Putting Biomechanics

On Thursday, Sam spent the day learning at the Belfry. His course was on putting biomechanics and was run by putting specialist Paul Hurrion. Paul teaches a huge amount of the top tour professionals and was able to pass on the knowledge that gives Sam even more ways to make putting as simple as possible.

If you want to put a programme in place to get your putting where it needs to be for the 2020 season, have a chat with Sam and make sure you get yourself booked in.

Junior news

PMGC Juniors Secure a second League and Cup Double

Our Juniors did the Club proud on Saturday to win both NGL Junior League semi-finals, meaning an all Milton final and securing the league title for the third time in four years. By also winning the CAGU Cup earlier in the year it's another League and Cup Double, repeating the feat of 2016.

The PMGC C team were all giving shots to mainly older and big-hitting opponents from Collingtree Park but played great golf to win 3-1. Rylan Thomas (4&3), Shivani Karthikeyan (4&2) and Oscar Bell (4&2) all came out of the blocks fast to build early leads and solid golf from all of them secured the victory. Only Ollie Clark slipped to defeat (4&3) against an opponent only dropping a handful of shots.

Pictured left to right are Oscar, Shivani, Ollie and Rylan

PMGC B played a Kettering team made up entirely of County Boys players but were not daunted by the prospect. Charlie Pearce holed crucial putts on 17th from 30 feet and on 18th from 15 feet to secure a crucial 1 up win in the opening match.

With Megan Chandler and Ellie Horsted slipping to defeat to opponents playing very good golf it was Emily Horsted who won 5&4 to leave the match 2-2 and force a play-off.

The two lowest handicap players (Charlie PMGC and Ed Keech from Kettering) headed down the 19th and Charlie calmly rolled in a 4-foot par putt to extend the playoff.

With Ed finding a ditch with his tee shot on 20th a calm 2 putt par from Charlie was good enough to secure the win and spark celebrations from the watching Milton contingent!

PMGC will host the all Milton final in October. Watch this space for details, spectators very welcome!

NGL Order of Merit

On Sunday in the NGL Junior Order of Merit Finals at Kettering, Shivani Karthikeyan capped a great season, shooting 78 to win the NGL girls gross Order of Merit Trophy.

Well done also to Shivani who has caught the eye of national selectors and has been invited to England squad regional trials this weekend.

Well done also to Jacob Williams who finished runner up on countback in both the nett and gross boys NGL Order of Merit categories with a fine 72-4=68.

It was a great weekend for Jacob who also won the John Roe Cup Singles Knockout with a last putt 1 up victory in the final against Kai Raymond.

Tip of the week

Fix your Slice

Cover story

This might sound a little complicated but just give us a chance on this one...

Urethane vs Ionomer? Both are materials used on the cover of golf balls but what is the difference between them and how does each affect your game?

TaylorMade TP5 - Urethane cover

You'll usually find that balls at the premium end of the market, like the TP5 and TP5x, have Urethane covers due to its noticeably softer feel and fantastic feedback, which is why they're the go-to choice for many Tour pros.

TaylorMade Project (s) - Ionomer cover

On the other hand, Ionomer is cheaper to produce which is why you'll find them on less expensive balls, like the Project (s). These balls tend to spin less off the tee, which is why Ionomer features on balls that prioritise distance over feel.

A warmer option

As we begin the inevitable slide to Christmas (yes, I said it), it's time to ditch the shorts for some warmer layers. Fortunately, we have a range of mid-layers and jackets available through us that will keep you warm and dry whilst successfully battling the elements this winter.

Layer up with Under Armour

There used to be a time when 'layering' meant chucking on as many clothes as you possibly could in order to keep warm on a winter's day, which regularly resulted in problems when it came to swinging a club.

Luckily for us, today's golf clothing has come a long way in recent years. Not only will you be proud to wear outfits from Under Armour's collection above, but you'll need fewer layers and won't be restricted or overheat whilst playing either!
