Ladies Captain's Day

The Ladies Captain’s Day saw a large number taking part in a bowmaker with a twist. Teams of three found scores could be doubled on the par fives depending on height, age and grandchildren. Coming out on top with 84 points were Erica Klim, Kathy Lane and Barbara Hunt. Klim said "Copious quantities of Pimms helped at the Green Room, followed by good team work and plenty of fun." In second place with 81 points were Philippa Gowen, Janice White and Janette Norris.

Nearest the pins were Kathy Lane, Cath Levell and Sue Slade with Jenny Davis being nearest the line on the 16th. Winners of the front nine were Jill Bocquet, Linda Wright and Janet Leverick with Cath Levell, Rose Hallett and Jenny Davis winning the back nine prize.

Ladies Captain Tina Davies thanked everyone for their support during the year and her family for the help during the day. She was presented with a gift from all the ladies.

New arrivals

As of today, we are proud to announce that we now have a HMT Unit fitted to our studio, as I’m sure many of you will not be familiar with HMT it stands for head measurement technology and works alongside the launch monitor we have already. What this means for you is that we are now able to provide the most accurate coaching solution available on the market. This addition is the only bit of equipment that directly measures what happens at the moment the golf ball meets the clubhead. now while I’m sure to many of you this may sound like it could overcomplicate an already difficult game, it is quite the opposite as the information is displayed in easy to understand images which make it much easier for to understand why you hit the shots you do, not only that but it makes it much easier for you to track your progress and see the improvement you are making . Below is an image of some of the data that it provides, during a lesson we would look at one of the data points which is the main cause of your problem shots.
