It's been a busy week at the club with the golf season fully underway, we had the Notts Alliance here last week, and to quote the Notts Alliance report "Best Course we have played on this season. Well done Stanton - absolutely first class." Its always good to hear praise like this especially on our year of being the county course.
Two interclub matches were played last week, the men played against Mapperly in the Foursomes at Hollinwell and won, but unfortunately the Ladies lost to N
orwood at Newark. Well done to everyone who resented the club, and good luck to the men for their next match.
On Saturday we had the Stableford cup which was won by David Wilkins with 41 points who beat Paul Newell on countback. Gary Lund, Adam Randall, Chris Rodgers and Josh Blackburn all finished on 39 points.
On Bank Holiday Monday, we had a Texas Scramble which is always a fun format and was really well supported. It was won with an incredible Net 54 by James Mounser, Richard Varney, Jackie Gauntley and Georgia Viggers. This is definitely the lowest score I can remember, and they had a bogey!

Hopefully by now you've all got yourself re-gripped as we start to enjoy those longer evenings out on the course. When Ben Hogan wrote "Good golf begins with a good grip," he was talking about where the hands go on the club. But he could just as well have been talking about the handle of the club itself.
Worn grips are one of those things that sneak up on you; and given they directly affect your control of the club, they can have a profound effect. It's not just that your hands are more likely to slip on a worn grip, especially in the rain; it's also that you'll sense this unconsciously, and start to grip the club tighter. That can get you into a whole host of nasty swing traits, usually involving loss of rhythm and power.
Like every other part of the game, grip technology has leapt forward. The latest grips we stock offer a range of textures, hand-specific patterns and moisture resistance. Regrip your clubs with us and we can guarantee you the best connection with the club possible. We can also ensure their thickness suits your hand size - a vital aspect of controlling the club, and one that needs an expert eye.
