Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition of the weekly newsletter bringing you all of the latest goings-on from around the club.

Tour news

It's Ryder Cup Weekend

The most exciting weekend of the golfing calendar is now here, with the top 12 Europeans lead by Thomas Bjorn taking on the top 12 Americans lead by Jim Furyk, over the Le Golf National course just outside of Paris.

With the first fourball matches due to go out at 7.10am ( UK time ) on Friday 28th, you can watch the event live on the giant screen here at the golf club from the very first tee shot.

Thomas offering me the position of Vice Captain at the PGA Dinner last December, sadly had to turn it down, but wished him and the team all the best.

Golf Club Results

Sadly last Saturday’s grudge match between the golfing Rugby and Football players was postponed due to the forecast and the correct decision was made between Ross Taylor and Andy Parry, with heavy rain sweeping across the course from 10.30 onwards causing the greens to flood up. The re-arranged match is now on Saturday 3rd November from 10.00am to 12.00noon.

New irons to improve your game

Buying a set of clubs is exciting, but can be a tricky decision - you might love the look of the short irons, but feel a bit daunted by the longer clubs further up the set. However, you can always mix and match your clubs so that your long irons are more forgiving and your short irons are more workable, allowing you to strike approach shots from any distance with confidence.

Mix & match with Mizuno

Why not try combining the short irons of Mizuno's JPX919 Forged series with the longer irons of the JPX919 Hot Metal? The latter's enhanced forgiveness, with its stability frame open at the heel to improve launch and give you loft-appropriate flight, makes it an ideal candidate for your long irons. Combine this with the JPX919 Forged model, which features a more refined profile at address to give the feel of a player's iron and you'll be feeling confident of finding the green with every club in your bag.

Could mixing sets be the answer you've been looking for?

Layer up, autumn's here

Normally when you watch golf on TV, you see the world’s best showing off their golfer’s tan in their polos. When the Ryder Cup gets underway this week in Paris however, things will be a lot colder, and we’ll see golfers on both teams ditching the short sleeves and going for a golf-specific mid-layer to help them stay warm.

The middle man
One mid-layer that will guarantee you comfort on the course is PING’s Kelvin fleece pullover. It features moisture movement performance aimed at keeping you dry, whilst PING’s Sensor Warm technology ensures that you’ll be kept at the ideal temperature on the course with minimal weight from the extra layer.
