AGM
At the Club AGM, Erica Klim rounded off an excellent year and passed the Captain's baton to her successor Stuart Mann. Mrs Klim worked very conscientiously in her role and her highest profile activity throughout her year was on behalf of her chosen local charity, Heads Up. A very significant sum was raised and she will present this to them in early January. Mrs Klim is the first female Club Captain in Somerset and at Wells Golf Club, and her endeavours have made for a very successful year. Stuart Mann was elected the new Club Captain and his chosen charities are the British Heart Foundation and a local charity which will be the Atmospheric Trust based in Coxley. Mann has been a member of the club for 17 years.
Chairman Geoff Ead summarised the past year which has been very successful and leaves the club in good shape and financially sound. Available financial resources have been spent on the course and members are now reaping the benefit as the course playing conditions have never been better. Greens Chair, Philip Slater, and his committee have done an outstanding job in conjunction with the greenkeeping staff. Financial Director, Mike Shave, highlighted the financial strength of the club and the importance of membership levels which have shown good growth this year once again. The Club Vice Chair, Mike Magrath, has headed up a focus group which is pulling together a five year plan. Magrath gave some early indications of the direction of the focus group.
Elite Sports Psychologist James Lambdon delivered a session on the mental side of golf. Jack Heginbotham and James Keitch also assisted with course management and practice techniques to aid golfing development. Prior to joining Team Bath, Lambdon combined a number of teaching and applied sport psychology roles at St Mary's Twickenham, Southampton, Solent and the University of Chichester, with a role as Head Coach of the Elite Development Programme at Chelsea Football Club. He also works with the Welsh Golf Union Elite Squads and many elite sports athletes.
A useful question and answer session followed the presentation and members look forward to putting ideas into practice.
An indoor golf studio incorporating the latest screen simulator technology is also being built. It will provide an indoor teaching/practice/training facility, for use night or day throughout the year, including simulated golf on golf courses from all over the world. The new simulator facility will be available for hire by the hour by both members and non-members.

For years the most popular golf balls on the market since 2000 have been evolving to become better and better. As you may already understand the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x have dominated most of the Professional Golf Tours all over the world and are trusted by many top golfers.
Titleist has set out to achieve the best golf ball on the market which can be used to maximise your golf game anywhere on the course, whether this be distance off the tee or spin control around the greens. Both models feature a new urethane elastomer cover that delivers distance and consistency on long game shots and more control and even softer feel around the greens - plus prolongs the life of the cover. Especially with sharp grooves on your wedges!
What does each golf ball achieve?
Pro V1 - The Pro V1 has a softer feel off the clubface creating slightly more long game spin and a more penetrating trajectory that is great for control around the greens.
Pro V1x - The Pro V1x offers a slightly firmer feel, lower long game spin and creates a much higher ball fight.

Christmas Raffle - Who will draw the 1p ticket?
This year's Christmas raffle was a new idea introduced by the professional team and its fun twist has left limited tickets remaining. The draw has yet to see the owner of the 1p ticket, however somebody has claimed the unfortunate £5 ticket. Therefore, why not get stuck in for a chance to win some fantastic prizes before all tickets are sold out?
The tickets are numbered 1 - 500 and the amount you pay for your ticket is based upon the number of the ticket you draw out of the hat at random. Every ticket number is the amount in pence you pay for your ticket e.g. if you pick ticket number 20 you will pay 20p for your ticket, pick ticket 380 and you pay £3.80 for your ticket. Therefore, the minimum you pay for a ticket is 1p and the maximum is £5. The prize table will be worth over £1,000. The draw will take place on Saturday, 17 December after the 12 Hole Professional Shop Shotgun competition.
