Saturday saw the Charity Cup take place, gail force winds meant the scoring was exeptionally bad, taking the Competiton Standard Scratch to +3 (75) this made the competiton reductions only! Dave Machin came out on top with a fantastic round of 38 points, brilliant score in the conditions. James Mounser came 2nd with 36 points, and Barry Dawson came 3rd with 35 points.

Last Wednesday was the second Wednesday stableford of the year, unfortunately due to only 8 entrants the competition was cancelled. Most people seem to be all for these extra stableford competitons, why do you think no one enters them? We would appreciate as much feedback as possible on this as it would be good to make it a success! Click here to get in touch with your opinion.

The Senior's played Wollaton Park on Monday this week and had a 4 - 2 victory.

The Ladies Stableford and 9 hole competiton was played on Tuesday the 6th. Division 1 was won by B Patrick with 31 points, Division 2 saw J Frampton win with 35 points, and Division 3 had M Slater winning with 34 points. The 9 hole competition was won by J Wightman with 12 points.

Well done to all winners!

Invitation Day this Saturday, it's a shotgun start at 9 o'clock so the course should be clear for general play at around 1.30 ish.

So you think you're not good enough to be custom-fit?

There's a perception among club golfers that having your clubs tailored to you is the province of the game's elite. The theory usually trotted out goes something along the lines of: "I'm too inconsistent for custom-fitting to benefit me."

The theory holds as much water as a perched links green. Your swing is a lot more consistent than you think, and technology can prove it. On launch monitors all handicap levels show remarkably similar levels of acceleration, clubhead speed, shaft loading and attack path and angle; whatever you think, your swing has a pattern. That perception of inconsistency is a fallacy, based on the fact a tiny change in the clubface's position at impact can create massive differences in ball flight.

But also, custom-fitting doesn't just refine good shots; it can also tame bad ones. That fact alone makes it relevant to all standards of player. So wherever you are in the game, come and talk to us about custom-fitting: it's a simple process… and it will have a profound impact on your game. Click here to send me your thoughts.
