Competition news

Captain's Prize

The member's flagship competition of the year took place this weekend, The Captain's Prize. There were a whopping 149 players taking part on Saturday and 101 for the Sunday, doing battle over the two days for some wonderful prizes.

Captain Dave Raymond was blessed with some fine weather for the weekend; the Sun was out, temperatures reached mid to high twenties & the wind was somewhat calm...the conditions were perfect for some excellent scoring.

On Saturday we had a tie at the top with two of the R&CPGC faithful on a fine score of 41 points. Setting the early pace was Richard Boiston who, playing off 6 handicap, found himself on 24 points after 9 holes, equivalent to 3 under par gross! Joining him at the end of the day was Barry McNally who opened up with a steady 19 points on the front 9 but put the afterburners on for the back 9 collecting 22 points! All to play for on Sunday...

After the dizzy heights of their scoring the previous day, Richard & Barry couldn't quite re-create their fine form but they could still feature amongst the prizes. The best score of the day on Sunday was yet another 41 points, this time from Ben Meyrick with two solid 9's of 19 and 22 points.

Barry McNally managed 32 points on Sunday which combined with his whopping 41 points from Saturday was enough to claim victory from Dave Stracey by 1 point and become Captain's Prize Champion 2018! Barry bagged himself a Big Max Quattro trolley as well as an invitation to the Prize Giving dinner.

Well played Barry!

One step closer…

This week we had two of our Professional contingency in action at Regional Qualifying for The Open Championship at Carnoustie.

Firstly Jordan Godwin was in action at Wildernesse GC and after shooting 1 under par, found himself just 1 shot outside the playoff which contained 9 players for 8 spots!

The other Professional in action that day was Jack Colegate who was trying his luck at Burhill GC and was good enough to return with a score of 2 under par, which got him into a playoff with 7 other golfers for just 4 places.

I'm happy to report that Jack was one of the fortunate 4 to make it through the playoff and so marches on to Final Qualifying with a number of destinations available. Jack hopes for Prince's GC to be his stop which will take place on Tuesday 3rd July. Once it has been confirmed we shall let you all know if any of you wish to pop along and support him.

Which bracket do you fall in?

There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets.

Bang for your buck
Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. This Callaway Warbird follows the trend by offering maximum distance with your longer clubs thanks to its aerodynamic dimples and high-energy core, giving you lots of power for little expenditure.

The all-rounder
If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag but without the premium price tag, this Callaway Supersoft ball is designed to be long, straight and soft. It doesn’t spin as much as the Chrome Soft, but its low compression core helps create long, high flights that land softly.

Tour performance
The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Callaway's Chrome Soft is their premium option, and it's easy to see why, with a soft urethane cover for short-game spin and a graphene-infused core that boosts ball speed and provides more iron control.

The perfect fit

It’s hard to believe that over half of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes. If we were to ask you, would you be confident you were wearing the correct size? Have you ever been professionally measured for your golf shoes, including for width?

Have you been measured?
You might wonder why all this is important. Buying properly fitted shoes has many benefits, such as holding their shape to look newer for longer, less upper creasing and splitting, and it allows you to use the ground efficiently to create power - and we all know that every yard helps.

The Under Armour Spieth 2 comes in a range of sizes from 6 to 12, so it’s worth coming in to get measured before you buy.
