Gents Club Championship

The Gents Club Championship was held on Sunday under sunny skies and relatively calm conditions. The course was presented in excellent shape, especially the greens which were fast and true.

Congratulations to Dominic Tinsley who successfully retained the title he won for the second time last year. Dominic added a second round 69 to his opening 71 for a two-under-par total of 140, four shots ahead of his nearest challengers. In second place was Richard Brearley (73-71) and third was Henry Brewin, who led by one after a first round 70 and followed up with a 74.

The nett prize was won by Jack Sipos on 138. His highlight was a second-round gross 70, nett 65, which sees his handicap drop to four. In second place was Dean Howitt on 140 and in third Kevin Shakesheff on 141. Prizes were also won for the best gross morning and afternoon rounds not in the main prizes. Ant Fleming won the morning prize from Josh Slade on count-back after a 72, and Aaron Prince was the afternoon winner on 74 from Michael White, also on count-back.

Find the short stuff

If you’re an equipment junkie, there’s nothing quite like standing on the first tee clutching the latest driver – especially, with the marketing promise of faster ball speeds and greater distance firmly in your mind. The question is, should this be your number one priority with the big stick in hand?

With the US Open taking place at Pebble Beach this week, one thing the world’s best will need in abundance is accuracy off the tee. Penal rough, fairway bunkers aplenty and the Pacific Ocean combine to create one of the hardest tests in golf.

Introducing TaylorMade's M5/M6 drivers

Two drivers that will be in lots of golfers' bags this week are these beauties from TaylorMade. As well as the impressive ball speeds and distance gains from its Speed Injection, there are two features on the M5 that will help tighten up your dispersion.

First, Twist Face helps reduce any 'gear effect' that comes as a result of an off-centre strike. Combine this with the moveable weights in the M5's T-Track and we can set up your driver to fight any regular misses you might have.

So, what are you waiting for? Come and have a chat to us in the shop and we can start you on your journey to better golf this summer.
