Lombard Trophy 2018

This year the qualifier for the Lombard Trophy was held last Tuesday at Little Aston Golf Club and what a day we had partnering Dave Humphreys.

As the highest placed Lombard Trophy entrant in the May Medal I was privileged to partner Alisdair in the first of the Regional Finals at Little Aston Golf Club.

This is a fully-fledged PGA Event complete with scoreboards and announcements onto the tee which make it an occasion to remember, as well as testing the nerves!

The course, selected by Al, was stunning. Plenty of trees to be stymied by, the rough tough enough to hamper but not so bad as to make finding balls difficult and for those who found them, fairways and greens of the highest order!

With putts rolling in from all over the greens, stunning shots from under trees, and the odd routine holes we managed 7 birdies (some of them Nett) and some frustrating bogeys and the odd double to finish on a respectable 1 under par. The pair from Notts took the honours on the day with a superb 8 under to secure their place in the Final in Portugal later in the year.

I would like to add my personal thanks to Al whose advice and guidance helped make the day so enjoyable.

We had a great day out in superb company at a great golf venue. I would highly recommend entry to this event for the opportunity to experience a great day with the chance of a trip to the sun!

Which 50% are you in?

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the key to unlocking lower scores lies in improving your short game. Having the correct technique is one part of the journey to achieving this. The other is making sure your wedges are the correct grind and bounce for your swing, as well as having a set of wedges that are evenly gapped to cater for any distance.

Poorly gapped wedge system

Correctly gapped wedge system

50% of you are like the first graphic
If you’re working hard to get your handicap down to single figures, it really will pay off to dedicate more of your practice time to your short game and the shots you need to improve in the scoring zone. As you can see with the graphics above, the wrong wedge set-up can lead to an awkward 35-yard gap and more difficult half shots, which is why we always recommend a gapping session or fitting.

With Mizuno you have plenty of options, including this popular S18 wedge, which comes in 18 different lofts between 45° and 62°. It means whether you’re looking for a two, three or four wedge set-up in your bag, we can get your yardages gapped perfectly.

Pick it up and go

Longer days and better weather are resulting in more and more of you playing a quick nine holes in the evenings. With time of the essence, it’s well worth considering a lightweight carry bag to help you get round faster.

Park your trolley
Some of you reading this will be avid trolley users, whether that’s due to their ease of use or the many health benefits, but a lightweight carry bag can be the perfect twilight companion, allowing you to move faster and take shortcuts where trolleys can’t go. Take this DRI LITE 7 bag from BIG MAX for example. It weighs just 1.7kg, yet it still boasts waterproof zips and fabric to keep everything dry, plus a spacious four-way top and four practical pockets.
