82 and counting...

Tiger Woods won his 82nd career win on Monday to equal Sam Snead’s record and it was his first event since his 5th knee operation only 9 weeks ago.

It’s amazing to see Tiger playing competitively let along winning again, a few years ago it was hard to imagine him winning again.

Having won the Masters earlier this year which was his first major win for 11 years and now this win it will be interesting to see if continues his good form into next season.

Junior Update

It's been another busy and successful half term for the PMGC Junior squad.

Morgan Cresswell is on a good run of form and took the honours in the October junior medal and also won Division Two in the Autumn Stableford with 38 points. Over in Division One Kai Raymond just pipped Shivani Karthikeyan on the back 9, both with 35 points.

In the Academy Division, 5 players played their first 18 hole competition from the red tees and it was Gabriel Bowden who followed in Grandad Tom's footsteps taking first prize with a stunning 51 points(!) and a rapid reduction in handicap from 54 to 45! Sam Mayman came in 2nd with 45 points and sees his handicap fall from 54 to 50.

In the annual Bass/Tenneson Trophy match against Sheringham Juniors, we had a great trip to the beautiful North Norfolk Links and in lovely sunshine, the home team just prevailed in a very friendly match played in the sporting spirit that Keith and Myers would have been proud of.

Ellie Horsted won the Lincolnshire Girls Patrons Trophy with a nett 66 at Blankney and sees her handicap fall to 22 - and with sister Emily taking a ladies pairs title at Belton Park the family home will soon need an extension for a bigger trophy cabinet.

Shivani Karthikeyan blitzed the field in the IMG Junior World Championships qualifier at Woodhall Spa and reward for her second round gross 75 around The Hotchkin course is a trip next summer to US Open course Torrey Pines for the World Final.

At time of writing, Robin Williams is doing well again in the latest MENA tour event in the United Arab Emirates and opening rounds of 69 and 70 see Robin in the top 20 entering the final round. Good luck to Robin who is in good form heading to Spain next week for European Tour Qualifying Stage 2.

Finally, the season was rounded off with a most enjoyable match against the Captains team. The juniors were fast out the blocks to race into a 3-0 lead but the Captain had some wily old foxes down the order and they fought back well to secure an honourable 3-3 final result. Junior Captain Sam Balaam rounded off a great season by thanking the Captain and the members for all the fantastic support the juniors receive from the club.

Thanks

Fitting news

Titleist Fitting

Adam was up bright and early on Monday to have a fitting for a new driver and 3 wood and had this to say about his fitting.

“It’s the first fitting I’ve had in a couple of years and I enjoyed trying the different head and shaft combinations before to find one that suits my swing, the distance was up by 8 yards on my old very trusty driver which surprised me as I thought it would be difficult to beat!

More importantly, my new driver is a lot more forgiving than my current driver, which is great as I found the Titleist was easier to use and more consistent.

Thanks to Titleist fitter Paul Thomson, for his advice and I, can't wait to get the new clubs in the bag!”

Winter Practice

Rain, rain go away

In 2018, only January saw more rainfall in the UK than November. Not the happiest of stats to highlight, but one that shows the inevitability of being caught in a few downpours this month, making a waterproof and spacious bag vital if you want to tackle the unpredictable British weather.

Titleist Players 4 Plus StaDry Stand Bag

The name of this lightweight bag says all you need to know when it comes to its waterproof ability. Add in seam-sealed zippers to protect your personal belongings and six spacious pockets, and we think you'll be hard-pressed finding a better option.

Titleist StaDry Cart Bag

Its big brother equivalent has the same waterproof fabric but in a more spacious cart option. We know plenty of you enjoy using an electric trolley out on the course, and we think this might well be the perfect bag to go with it.

Which do you prefer?

Golf apparel is famous for taking a bit of a knock from other sports and, in all honesty, in years gone by, it did deserve it. However, today’s golf-specific clothing often sets the tone for smart, high-performing sportswear that is versatile enough to be worn anywhere.

Spot the difference

If you've ever been to a fancy dress party, we're sure you would have seen someone dressed as a golfer from the 19th century - plus fours, knee length socks and flat caps.

It does look great and certainly results in a few giggles, but today's golf clothing couldn't be further away as Under Armour's stylish pieces for this winter show.

When it comes to polos, mid-layers and jackets, we have plenty of choice for you in the pro shop. Two of our favourite pieces are Under Armour’s Storm Playoff 2.0 pullover and the matching ColdGear Rush Mock, which you can see above. Click on the blue button below to explore the range or pop by the shop to try a few pieces on.

Spotlight | Callaway JAWS MD5 Wedges

What we love most about Callaway is that each time a new product comes out, it performs better than the one it replaces in the range - something we certainly noticed in the latest Mack Daddy wedges.

Last time out they introduced Groove-In-Groove Technology, which is proven to produce more spin on your wedge shots. Now, they've combined this with a JAWS groove design for even more spin around the greens!

We all know how important our short game is, so pop down the shop to give these a try.

Have a great weekend, happy golfing!
