Welcome to the latest edition of my newsletter. It has been a slightly less busy week here at East Devon Golf Club. I had the pleasure of attending the Captain's Dinner on Friday night and a very enjoyable evening was had by all those who attended, both the food and the guest speaker were excellent.
26 teams of 3 made it back on parade the following morning for the Captain's Challenge, some a little worse for wear! The star performers on the day and lifting the trophy for 2014 was the team of Matt Stone, Will Hendry and Julian Reynolds with a tremendous 78 points.
The ladies were out in force on Tuesday for a Greensomes Stableford. In a closely contested contest the pairing of Hilary Greenaway and Anne Boyle came out victorious with a fantastic 44 points. 38 pairs entered.
Enjoy your golf this week.
Ask most golfers what the biggest difference is between a scratch golfer and tour pro and besides the bank balance they'll tell you it's the short game. If you're going to work on anything over the winter then head to the short-game area. Yes, a solid long game and the ability to hit big, booming drives is something we all want, but you can save so many shorts developing a better touch around the greens - and this applies to the single figure golfers out there, too.
Some of the industry's leading brands are doing their utmost to help us improve our short games, which leads us to ask you this question: Have you ever been fitted for your wedges? If the answer is no, you could have gaps in your bag, not to mention lofts and lies that will hinder, not help, your game from 120 yards and in.
Speak to us about a wedge fitting; seriously, you won't regret it…
