Scratch league 2019 Update

PMGC v Harlestone 21st September

PMGC 4 : 4 Harlestone

So already in relegation trouble and a must-win game. A withdrawal at 11.30 on match day did not help and this contributed to a team of 7 and 1:0 down before we started!

No match got past the 16th, very rare indeed. After Ryan Thomas and Howard Boylan battled but came second we were 3:0 down and in real trouble. However, wins from Jacob Williams (4&3) and myself (4&3) got us back in the game. In the top games news was better, both James Walters and Chris White ahead. So a close finish was on. Unfortunately, Ian Wicks faced a barrage from his opponent and his game had gone. With James and Chris comfortable winning a 4:4 was the score.

What would it have been with a full team. We will never know. Dropping a point at home and still in trouble!

Man of the Match: Chris White playing a +2 County first team player he had never beaten. A 3&2 win for one of our top performers. Finally got your man Chris!

PMGC V Wellingborough 28th September

PMGC 3 ½: Wellingborough 4 ½

Another must-win game, and the good news we had an 8. Neil Thompson and Steven Smail drafted in.

Rylan Thomas, one of our promising Juniors and getting accustomed to Scratch league golf led off and won a gutsy point 2&1 to get us off to a start. Neil Thompson then played fantastic golf to easily win 5&4. So far so good. Unfortunately, I had a mare, nothing worked and I was truly stuffed 5&4. Ian Wicks also had a day to forget. So 2:2. The news came through that Tom Burgh had beaten their top player and soon to be pro! 8 & 6, a right royal thrashing!

With Jacob Williams bowing out 3&2 it was all on the last match, Steven Smail, 1 up and 1 to play, sadly found water off the tee but played a fantastic third to the edge of the green and made a 5 forcing the opponent to make 4 to get a half and win the game. Bad news, he did. Played a fantastic second to a back pin to about 15’ and casually rolled it dead.

So a home loss and we are staring relegation in the face with 2 games left. A sad day. 2 home losses in the season. Never heard of!

Man of the Match: Two really. Tom Burgh amazing performance to win 8&6 and Rylan Thomas who showed great composure as a Junior to win a close game 2&1.

Robin wins in Jordan

Very many congratulations to Robin Williams who won his debut appearance this week on the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Tour in Jordan.

Robin spread-eagled the strong field of professionals and elite amateurs with rounds of 68-66-66 to win by 8 clear shots and break a number of MENA Tour records in the process.

You can read all about his win here

Well done Robin, the Club is very proud to see your name at the Top of the Leaderboard and good luck next week in Adu Dhabi on the next leg of the tour.

Junior news

Golf Sixes

Congratulations to our young Golf Sixes Team who have finished 2nd in the Northamptonshire Golf Sixes League. A third-place finish in the final event at Northants County at the weekend wasn't quite good enough to secure the league title but there were again great performances all round with Maliha, Hannah and Louis all winning prizes in the skills challenges. The squad is pictured.

It has been a great season and all the squad have really improved their golf this year, well done. Congratulations to Overstone who proved again what a fantastic academy section they have and they ran out deserving league winners and retained the league title.

Golf Sixes is a great new short format game for youngsters and we owe a big debt of thanks to the Golf Foundation, NGL and England Golf for their support of this initiative which is helping us to attract more young people to take up golf right across the country.

Final Golf Sixes league table:

1st - Overstone 14 pts
2nd - PMGC 12 pts
3rd - Northants County 7 pts
4th - Northampton 5 pts

Are you part of the 70%?

The popularity of Distance Measuring Devices (DMDs) has been growing for several years as golfers seek as much help as possible whilst out on the course. Our recent survey indicated that over 70% of you choose to use one, so we thought we'd highlight one of our favourites in this week's newsletter.

Garmin Approach S40 watch

GPS devices are not just about reading front, middle and back yardages. Well, in some cases they are, but not when it comes to Garmin’s Approach S40 watch.

As we know, the course can be played several different ways and the Approach S40 displays distances to hazards and doglegs at a glance, which will prove vital when trying to take your course management to the next level.

In fact, at this time of the year when a wet course is a regular occurrence, knowing your yardages has never been more important. This is where the S40 comes into its own as it allows you to alter the pin's position on your watch so you can get highly accurate distances.

Pretty clever stuff! We have a brilliant review video that you can view by clicking the link below.

A new ball from Titleist

It's not uncommon for brands to launch their products as the greatest thing since sliced bread, however, if you like to play a ball that has an ultra-soft feel and doesn't shirk its responsibilities off the tee or around the green, then the brand new TruFeel could well make a justified claim to that title.

Who says you can't have everything all at once?

We were pleasantly surprised when we gave the new TruFeel a try. It not only replaces the popular DT TruSoft in Titleist's range, but we think it's a considerable upgrade too.

We'll leave it to you to make your mind up when you give this ball a try, but it certainly combines an incredibly soft feel with impressive distance.

Pop in-store to pick up yours today; in the meantime, click the link below to find out more.

Have a great weekend, happy golfing!
