Monday was another fine evening but there were only five men! Never mind, that was enough to play a Texas Scramble in five mixed groups. The winners, with 25.95 nett were David Czarnetzki, Shirley Byass and Ruth Grafton. In second place, with 27.45 nett were Bob Hill, Jill Perrin and Celia Russell.

There is no Monday Social next week as it’s a Bank Holiday. Our next meeting takes place on 04.06.18. Entry fee £1.00. The draw for partners is at 4.50. Please book your meal before playing.

Ladies 3 Ball Alliance Open Competition - Wednesday 16th May 2018

81 ladies from 15 different clubs played in the ladies 18 holes 3 Ball Alliance on Wednesday 16th May – the first ladies open for the 2018 season. The warm weather has finally arrived and the course was prepared beautifully for the competition, producing some splendid scores in the 3 ball stableford open with best two scores to count. The winners were:

1st prize - Gilly Cross, Pat Clarke and Lucy Millar (Shrewsbury) = 79 points
2nd prize - Linda Mottram, Chris Nash and Karen Thaw (Shrewsbury) = 77 points
3rd prize - Jane Aston, Mee Ling Yiu and Isabel Graham (Shifnal and Cannock Park) = 73 points

The prize for the best away team who were not in the above prize winners went to Margaret Cooper, Linda Stubbs and Maureen Shepherd from Lilleshall with a score of 70 points.

Nearest the pin 2nd hole - Joy Crosby (Arscott)

Nearest the pin in 2 shots 14th hole - Linda Mottram (Shrewsbury)

A few spots of rain first thing were replaced by an overcast day but, with a light breeze and a quick glimpse of the sun in the afternoon, it made excellent conditions for fantastic golf! And all finished off with a great two course meal!

Many thanks to Dan and his team for their continued hard work in their preparation of the course, to David and his staff for the excellent food (especially the puddings!), to the pro shop, the office team and to our own ladies and volunteers - all of whom quietly carry out so much work to guarantee the success of these events.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

Mizuno Stretch polo

Mizuno 1/4 zip sweater

These Mizuno options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these Mizuno drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels that let us alter your trajectory higher or lower. The GT180 also has moveable sole weights so we can fine-tune your shot shape. You’ll also find both models have a Wave sole that contracts and springs to increase ball speeds and help you enjoy effortless long distance.

I hope you have a great week.
