Tour news

Turkish delight for the world number one!

Justin Rose returned to the top of the World Golf rankings last weekend with another sound display in the Rolex series event in Turkey and the run-up to the final of the Race to Dubai. The Englishman was handed the title by the Chinese No1 Haotong Li after he missed a series of putts on the 72nd hole and during the playoff. It is amazing what pressure can do to the mind and body just when calm is required. Rose was previously No1 for a fortnight and had been "ribbed" about the period he was there. He now intends to stamp his authority on his position and see it through for a longer stretch. He has been so consistent for what seems many seasons now and is only getting better with age. He does however only have one more Major than you and me! OK he has every opportunity to increase that and let’s hope he does. He is a model professional who is willing to give his time no matter how well or bad he has played, a real class act. Keep up the great golf Justin, it is a pleasure to watch.

Product spotlight

We are highlighting products that are both in store and new on the scene. This week is the turn of the new putter from PING, the Sigma 2 Fetch. So what is different about it then? It features the following:

A shaft that can be altered to any length just with the turn of a key from 32 inches all the way to 38 inches. The face is one of the softest in the putter business due to multi-layer technology giving anyone the response and feel they would want from their most important club in the bag. The putter head can pick a ball up with the circle on the bottom, great for those with a bad back and even better, it fits into the hole on the green so there is no need to reach in and struggle to get the ball out. This also would allow players to stand further from the hole reducing crowning when the greens are softer.

All in all it is a very impressive putter, it has only just become available and was already in Lee Westwood’s bag at Valderrama, Spain two weeks ago. So if you want a custom fitted putter, we can help you decide with this one. If you need to preserve your back then this is definitely for you. Take a look next time you are in the store.

Rain in Spain!

Last week Phil and I took some members to Portugal to play in the annual Essex PGA 3 Day Pro Am. I am pleased to say that Phil's team finished 3rd and we were 4 points behind in 6th. A good week even with the unfavourable weather, 25 mile an hour winds and rain all day for the second round. Well done to them.

Presentation Afternoon

If you can make it here to the Club on Sunday, it is trophy presentation afternoon. All the men`s and mixed competition trophies are awarded so come along and see what you could win next season. It all starts at 1.30pm and I look forward to seeing you there. Have a great weekend's golf!

David,

Electric dreams

Winter golf can be very enjoyable if you're fully prepared, but a thing of nightmares if you're not. We know many of you use a Motocaddy electric trolley to transport your bag around the course, but do you have the correct winter accessories attached to get you through your round?

Deluxe Trolley Mittens

Designed to fit any Motocaddy trolley, these are perfect for any golfer whose hands suffer during the winter. As well as providing maximum warmth, these fleece-lined mittens also improve your trolley's control across any slippery surface you might happen to come across.

Hedgehog Winter Wheels

If you play a lot of golf during the winter - either here or at another club - the chances are you'll be asked to use 'winter wheels' on your trolley to help protect the course. They come with an anti-skid tread design, and are designed to reduce turf drag in wet ground conditions.

Universal Umbrella Holder

We all know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be putting your umbrella up and down between shots. With this umbrella holder from Motocaddy, you'll be able to keep yours up for the whole round - just make sure you've got an accessory station if you have a new M-Series trolley.
