12 Hole Academy Course Competition

Last Sunday we held a 12 hole competition to allow members an opportunity to play our Junior 12 hole Academy Course. The short par 3 course is designed to give our juniors an opportunity to get out onto the golf course, but the challenging course layout tested our member's accuracy playing 12 par 3 holes consecutively, some of which were over 175 yards. The results were as follows:

First place - Christopher Strickland, Christine Gee and Mike Gee - 58 points (£14).
Second place - Mike Magrath, Gill Magrath and Bill McCollum - 54 points (£7).
Third place - Grant Rogers, Simon Elliot and Roy Elliott - 52 points (£4).

All prize monies have been put onto your accounts in the professional shop. A big thanks to our members who supported the event as part of the entries go towards funding our excellent junior section.

Loft and Lie Service

One of the most important, however, overlooked aspects of your golf clubs is the lie angle. There are many different degrees of lie angle but the aim is to have the sole of your club sitting flat to the ground at impact when hitting the ball. Here are the three common expressions for club lie angle and what effects it has on the golf ball.

• Standard - Ball flies on target
• Upright - Ball will fly LEFT of target
• Flat - Ball will fly RIGHT if target

The lie angle has a direct influence on direction and accuracy so if your clubs aren't custom fitted correctly your golf could be heavily affected.

Loft and Lie Check up - £25. Please speak to a member of staff for more information on this service or call 01749 679059
