Ladies Captain's Day

Ladies captains day was a tremendous success

The theme for the day was Country and western and the ladies section embraced this fully. Some more than others...

72 Hole Challenge

A big well done to those completing the 72 hole challenge on the hottest day of the year.

Here is a message from the boys:

Thank you for hosting us so warmly and being so accommodating for the 72 hole golf challenge. We thought you might like a quick update on the outcome!

The team were members Graeme Clark and Stuart Ross along with guests Tom Young (former member) and Ian Murray (guest).

We completed the challenge at 2040 last night (after starting at 0526am); with no blood or tears but a lot of sweat and a few blisters!

We played some great golf in the first round in particular when we steamed around in 2 hours 40 minutes (including an eagle 2 on 5th by Stuart too) and only 1 lost ball!

The 3rd round in the afternoon was pretty punishing in the worst of the heat of the day but we made it.

Some great support, both on and off the course from Salisbury and South Wilts GC members as well as donations along the way too and our online total when tallied with offline cash donations are heading towards £2K. Astonishing!

I will leave the posters up at the club/shop until this Sunday to catch any last donations?

If you would like to donate please click here or on the link below.

The course is in absolutely fabulous condition at the moment; the greens, in particular, are very true. Great job.

Thank you again so much for all the support!

Coaching news

Ladies Get into Golf

Don't miss our Ladies Get into Golf session on August 4th.

Both events are Free

1 gap, 2 gap, 3 gap, FORE!

How confident are you hitting your long irons? The lack of forgiveness can lead to inconsistent strikes and less distance. This is when filling the gaps at the top end of your bag with utility irons or hybrids could be the smartest decision you ever make – but which is right for you?

Titleist’s brand-new utility irons and hybrids are really special, and you’ll be able to get your hands on them through us in no time at all. Why do we like them so much? Well, they are seriously easy to hit and offer unbeatable performance, but there are some things you should know…

U-500 and U-510 utility irons

Quite simply, these offer more distance than a standard iron but less spin than a hybrid. Both come loaded with tungsten for incredible forgiveness, with the U-500 offering workability and precise distances whilst the U-510 boasts a high launch and increased carry from a larger head.

TS2 and TS3 hybrids

It's time to stop thinking of these hybrids as rescue clubs and begin referring to them as scoring clubs. Both offer plenty of distance and an easy to hit nature, with the TS2 providing a higher launch from a wider head and the TS3 giving us more adjustability in an iron-like profile.

So, which route should you go down? Hybrid or utility iron? Let’s give all four a go in a custom fitting session and find the one that offers you the best performance.

A ball for every occasion

Let’s be honest: we're greedy when it comes to our golf ball, and rightly so. We don’t want to have to choose between distance or feel; instead, we want a ball that offers us the lot so we get maximum help on every shot.

Picture the scenario

You’re out playing a round with your friends and you've just used your ball to hit a delicate flop shot over a bunker to a few feet and knocked it in for par - top job! Following a short walk to the next tee, you’re then stood on a par-5 needing to smash your Sunday best as far down the fairway as possible.

This scenario requires a ball that is versatile enough to offer you spin and feel around the greens, whilst providing explosive distance and a high launch from the tee.

Consider RB Tour from Mizuno

Fortunately, the clever folks at Mizuno know a thing or two about golf balls, which is why their RB Tour and RB Tour X balls have made such a storm in 2019.

Here's what you can expect from both:

RB Tour - Low driver spin, very soft and great greenside control
RB Tour X - Mid-to-low driver spin for upward attack angles and great greenside control

These are balls that you simply need to try, so come and speak to a member of the team for more information.

Spotlight | PING Glide 3.0 wedges

Smooth when it's rough

There's no part of your game more important than your wedge play.

If you really want to lower your scores and reach your full potential, improving your short game is key and these beauties from PING will certainly help you on your way - as long as you're fitted for the correct grind and bounce.

The Glide 3.0 produce greater spin, a softer feel and are more forgiving than previous generations. Enough said.

Video of the Week

With the Ashes beginning at Edgbaston this week, we thought this would be a great opportunity to show you this video as Jimmy Anderson took on Stuart Broad in the European Tour's 14 Club Challenge. Who came out on top?
