Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter.

I hope you have had a great week on and off the course this week.

Enjoy the read!

Pro's news

Mark's Blog

Hi everyone,

Some extremely nice weather returned to us over the weekend and it definitely got you all out on the golf course as Jordan was rushed off his feet all weekend. A busy Saturday followed by Sundays Members and Guests day definitely earned him a couple of days off.

Over the weekend I was invited to the Inner Sanctum groups annual away outing which was being held at Portpatrick, followed by Stranraer Golf Club. We could not have asked for a better weekend to get away and I would just like to say thank everyone for the invite.

My golf was alright over the two days which made the trip even more enjoyable. I must say well done to the winner David Ashton, before teeing off David was busy telling everyone that he had never won the away trip before and never would, looks like you were wrong there David. I hope you enjoy organising next year’s trip.

Gareth was also away playing in a tournament this over the weekend down in Dumfries. The two-day event was a bit of a mix with a +3 first round followed by -1. Sadly this finish was just one shot off the money but not a bad performance considering the first round.

Sadly Calum had to pull out of the event due to an injury last week, hopefully, that heals up fast so that he can get back on the course.

Hope you have a good week’s golf.

Competition news

Members Guest Day

There was no medal this week, unfortunately, especially with the improvement in the weather over the past few days.

However, Sunday saw the return of the annual and popular Members Guest day. Once again there was a brilliant turnout this year as we saw more than 180 players taking advantage of one of the warmest days in a while.

Congratulations to Robert Malcolmson and his guest who carded an amazing nett 59 to win by 1.

Ladies locker

East Kilbride

34 Ladies enjoyed our outing to East Kilbride in what was a dry but windy day. The format for the day was a best ball Stableford in teams of 2. The winners were:

1st - Mara Lindsay and Linda Nairn (36)

2nd - Katie Hodge and Sheila Shedden (35)

3rd - Moyra Withycombe and June Dempster (34). After countback.

Solheim Day

The ladies also competed in a Solheim Day that was incredibly successful.

18 teams competed on the day, 9 for team Europe and 9 for team USA. It was very windy and testing conditions for all the ladies who competed, however, that did not spoil the enjoyment throughout the day. In the end, Team Europe came pout on top and were victorious with a score line of 15 to 12 which we hope is an omen for the upcoming Solheim Cup.

Well done to all the ladies who played and braved the conditions!

Revealed: Our top driver of 2019

Looking for a new driver this year? There is plenty of choice out there so why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Callaway’s Epic Flash has set our pulses racing this year?

“The Epic Flash offers excellent ball speed”

Not for the first time this year we are raving about Callaway’s Epic Flash driver, where Artificial Intelligence has played a major role in creating a radical face design known as Flash Face:

“Flash Face is designed to give you maximum amount of ball speed across the face”

And it certainly does that, especially on off-centre hits! One swing of the club and we reckon you'll be hooked as the added bonus of the beautiful green, black and yellow colourway leaves us drooling when taking it out of the bag.

So, now is the time for you to come down and demo the Epic Flash driver and let us correctly set-up the club to suit your swing during a custom fitting session.

Flop shot required

Type ‘flop shot’ into Google and Phil Mickelson’s name will be at the top of the search. The five-time Major champion is the go-to guy when it comes to shots around the green, especially the flop shot. So, if you want to follow suit and impress your golfing partners, here’s our guide to this magical shot.

Technique

The first thing you must do is accelerate through the ball and stay aggressive. It's when we get a little scared or take our eye off the ball that things start to go wrong, all of which we can explain during a short game lesson.

Wedge

Your wedge plays a vital role with worn grooves and incorrect bounce leaving you at risk of a bladed shot through the green. Nightmare!

Cleveland’s brand-new CBX 2 wedges are arguably the best around to execute this shot properly, as the C-shape grind provides the perfect option to get the ball popping high up in the air and stopping quickly.

Spotlight | Titleist TS hybrids

TS2 or TS3?

You will probably recognise these names from the new drivers that Titleist released last year. Well, they've carried on their pursuit of speed and have conjured up these two beauties as a result.

Both offer extreme yet controllable distances, along with more forgiveness when compared to previous Titleist hybrids.

The TS2 has a larger head and is arguably easier to hit, whilst the TS3 comes with the SureFit CG for ball flight control.

Video of the Week

There aren't too many Guinness World Records when it comes to golf, but here's a video of four European Tour players trying to get their hands on one of them! Enjoy.
