Greetings from Mark Templeman
Thorney Golf Centre - PGA Golf Professional

Congratulations to Pete Roberts, Pete won the PGA Medal on Saturday on last six hole count back from Sean Buckle, both scoring very good scores of nett 72 in cold and windy conditions. The Competition standard scratch went up to 74 for second Medal running which means reductions only. Sean scored an exceptional gross 76 to win Division I and the Best Gross, Nigel Bunn 82-8=74 continued his good start to the season with second place, Paul Pamphillon 85-10=75 was third. Dave Whiting 92-17=75 lead Division II from Bob Mason 90-13=77 and Chris Waller 94-15=79. Pete Roberts 92-20=72 also won Division III from Nigel Bryan 95-20=75 and Brian Florence 101-23=78. The Two's winners and qualifiers were Nigel Bunn, Richard Cooper, Colin Shearman & Bob Mason.

The weather on Sunday was much improved and more like Spring for the Pairs Stableford, Colin Burton & Mark Weston 43 pts lead the way from Pete Corley & Andy Everett on count back followed closely by Gary Kew & Gav Heaton 42 pts. Darren Heriot & Andre Pringle 41 pts finished fourth with Paul Pamphillon & Luke Lawson one further back in fifth.

I managed to qualify for the Two's Final(!!) on the 11th Hole, as did Ben Templeman on the same hole ironically. Lee Jones, Brian Harrison, Ady Bingham, Paul Civerton, Keith Manning and Jon Crouch also secured the magic number and a share in the Sweep.

It is not long until the Masters now and the clocks go back this weekend so we should all get a chance to play some more golf, we have a Stableford this Saturday and the first Texas Scramble of the year on Sunday, please give the shop a call or pop in next time you are at the club.

Set your goals for 2015...

What are your goals for this season? How can you improve your performance and enjoyment of the game? Spring will soon be here and the competition season will be off and running. It is a good idea to set your goals for the coming season, if you don't know what you are trying to achieve you will not know how to get there either. Just blasting balls away will not help, but structured practice concentrating on different aspects of your game is much more likely to pay off. Identify your strengths and weaknesses, work on the part of your game that is letting you down the most. If you can't work it out why not book a lesson? A lot of faults are often very easily cured and if you understand the problem then you have a chance.

New Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 Wedges NOW IN STOCK

Cleveland Wedges were the top selling Wedge brand in 2014 and this new version promises even more spin and control, the grooves are now 15% sharper and the new micro milled Rotex face gives these wedges the most surface roughness allowed. Wedges come in Low, Standard and High Bounce, the right bounce for you're particular swing type is crucial, too high can cause thinned shots and too low fat shots. Along with needing the right loft to fit yardage gaps, the correct bounce plus the options of two different finishes and either blade or cavity back, being fitted for a wedge is very important. This year we have invested in a Cleveland Wedge fitting cart to enable us to tailor your wedges to youe own individual needs. To book a fitting please click here.

NEW 2015 Wilson DX2 Soft Golf Balls

This ball is the 'World's Softest' with groundbreaking 29 Compression, it is designed for Distance off the Tee with less spin but with exceptional soft feel around the green and off the putter. Wilson are that confident in this ball that if you buy a dozen at the very reasonable price of £18 they will give you a Free Two Ball Sleeve, if after trying the two ball sleeve you do not like the balsl you can return the unused Dozen and swop them for something else.

New Wilson D200 Clubs Now in Stock

The new Wilson D200 range of Drivers, Fairways, Hybrids and Irons builds on the success of the previous D100 range, offering very lightweight easy to use equipment. The whole range is aimed at golfers needing extra distance especially from slower swing speeds. The new D200 Driver is adjustable in loft giving Draw options as well, we have a good range of Demos and fitting clubs available in the shop.

     

Nike TW 15 Golf Shoes-Just Arrived

This is a very technical shoe designed with input from Tiger, it has the Flyweave technology that originated from Nike's ground breaking Magista football boots and offers the ultimate strength and support in a very lightweight single layer. They also have the Flywire system which gives a Dynamic fit, effectively wrapping the foot, as well as the Nike Free outsole which delivers Freedom of movement while maximising swing power. They also come with a Two Year Waterproof Warranty.

PING G30 LS Tec Driver- Now in Stock

The PING Driver has proved very popular since its launch and PING have now expanded the range to include a new lower spinning version the G30 LS Tec. This is aimed at higher swing speed golfers who may generate a little too much back spin and compliments the G30 SF Tec which encourages a draw flight as well as the standard G30 Driver. We have a full range of demos so if you would like to try one please ask in the Pro Shop or book a fitting next time you are at the club.

NEW PING Cadence TR Putters -Now in Stock

The new Cadence TR putter range utilizes different weight face inserts to fit golfers for their stroke tempo and feel preference. Traditional weight inserts (blue in colour) typically fit mid-to-faster tempos and can improve lag putting and the Heavy Inserts (black) match slower strokes and can make for better short putting, both inserts have the next generation True-Roll technology which helps with off centre hits to give a consistent ball speed.

Nike Vapor Range - now in stock

The European release of the new Nike Vapor range was Saturday 31st January. This range of clubs will continue on from the success of Covert over the last couple of years, Covert especially with the Driver has seen excellent growth since it was released, but having been lucky enough to test the whole new Vapor range at Nike's Performance Centre at Archerfield GC at the release event last September, this range will move the bar even higher.

There are three different Drivers; Vapor Speed, Vapor Flex and Vapor Pro - which was the Driver Rory McIIroy put straight into play to great effect at the Ryder Cup. All of these Drivers continue with the Covert Cavity Back design but with the addition of FlyBeam and a Compression Channel to enhance the NexCOR face, this gives an even more stable and forgiving club but generates even more ball speed, they all have FlexLoft so can be fine tuned to your exact launch conditions.

There are also two different ranges of Fairways and Hybrids, Vapor Flex which has adjustable loft and Vapor Speed which is fixed. There is also three new irons; 1. Vapor Pro which has major design input from Tiger, this is modern muscle design and the blade replacement. I must say though that it is the most user friendly blade I have ever used, so much so that I will be playing this club while in the past I have always played the Pro Combo. 2. Vapor Pro Combo is a combination of Precision and Power offering a great looking precision club with some forgiveness and then there is 3. the Vapor Speed iron which is all about Power and Distance, this is really a phenomenal golf club, it is very easy to use and just flies.

With all golf clubs it essential to be fitted for your launch conditions and individual swing characteristics, this range is no different so I would definitely recommend that you book a fitting. I am very confident that I can find you extra distance and consistency within this range of clubs.

Nike Lunar Control III - now in stock!

Rory McIIroy had a major input to the design of this new shoe for 2015, by moving the spikes more to the outer edges and the addition of an extra spike these shoes are exceptionally stable to the ground, the shoe also has a wider base and is lower to the ground than the existing shoe creating a further feeling of stability, with the addition of a new carbon fiber mid foot shank, the shoe is very laterally strong, this lateral support is added to with the improved Flywire technology that wraps around your foot, the sole still has full length Lunarlon cushioning for responsive cushioning. It is amazing how much research and development goes into golf shoes as well as equipment.
