Message From The Captains Ian and I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who supported us on our recent Charity Day. We had an amazing day raising approximately £13,500 for Hunts Community Cancer Network (HCCN). These days don’t just happen and we have many people to thank. A very big thank you go to Lynne and Richard Fitzjohn who were the front runners of our team, June Cowper (still the best raffle ticket seller!), Rachel in the cabin who donated her profits from the day, our auctioneer Doug Poole and everyone who made donations, bought tickets and auction prizes. I know there are many more of you who helped and we thank you all. The charity workers stayed with us until the end of the day and were totally overwhelmed by your generosity. We know that all this money will be ploughed into helping local people in the community. Elaine and Ian

This is a competition organised by England Golf. They now go on to the national finals being played on the Eden course at St. Andrews in September.

The winner and ladies club champion for 2018 is Belinda Borneo with a magnificent gross of 149 (72 and 77). Fay Allison was second with 162 gross, closely followed by Kay Osbourne 163 gross. The Davies Shield for the best nett score was also closely contested but was won by Roz Bartlett with a nett 145. The Sapphire trophy played over 18 holes was won by Debbie Wastling on 37 points. Very well done to all players who took part. Excellent news, I hope you will all join me in congratulating Caroline Richardson and Diane Aloia on winning the area finals of the Coronation Foursomes with a magnificent 41 points. In September they are off to play at St. Andrews in the National Finals. Our congratulations and good luck wishes go out to them.

When tour pros are playing in big events, like the PGA Championship this week, they’ll always have relatively new wedges in their bag to maximise their spin, because worn wedges mean less control.
|
| Why do grooves matter? The grooves are the sole contact point between your ball and the club, imparting backspin to help lift the ball into the air. R&D testing has revealed that after 125 rounds, wedges spin 2,000rpm less than wedges with new grooves and consequently roll 14 feet further on landing - which is huge. What causes wear? All grooves will wear slowly over time due to a number of factors, including gradual wear from play, but golf's equipment manufacturers work hard to limit this. |
| Need to upgrade? Grooves are particularly important on wedges, where pinpoint control is crucial. If yours are looking worn like on the first image above, why not consider the TaylorMade Milled Grind wedge (above), which has ZTP grooves. This design sees grooves with steeper side walls sit closer together, allowing an additional groove to be added to produce more spin than on previous models. Advanced surface milling techniques also ensure precise, consistent performance from wedge to wedge. |
