Adam's news

Last week I attempted to play my first ever Pro-Am with a tooth abscess! I travelled up to Woodbury for an 8.00 tee time and made a swift visit to the dentist straight from the 18th green.

Golf is a lot more interesting trying to tee your ball up with one of those in your mouth I have now discovered! Fair to say my golf wasn’t great!

Earlier in the week, my Yelverton Team managed a sixth place at the Bowood (in Wiltshire) Pro-Am, again I didn’t add many points to that card I left that to our secret weapons Karl Bowen and Kevin Norris.

Ladies corner...

Firstly, we want to say massive congratulations to Caitlin Evans Brand who came first in the Ladies Club Championship with a fantastic score of gross 143 over 36 hole. Karen Friendship came second with a gross 161, which also secured her first place in the handicap Trophy. Third place went to Gilly Jarvis with a gross 163. Rosamund Kikadas took fourth place with a gross 171. Well done to all our ladies who took part!

Today is Mairs Lady Captains Day. For a donation to The Lady Captains Charity, Adam will be taking the first tee shot; I might ask him how much he will charge for 18!

Danger!

Are you the type of golfer who considers the danger ahead of you and plans accordingly, or do you pull a driver from the bag on every par-4 and par-5 without a blink? If you’re the latter then you need to read on.

Consider the danger
You hear pros talk a lot about the ‘smart shot’ in their post-round interviews. If you’re on the tee and there’s a bunker, ditch or other hazard around the distance that your driver or fairway wood normally flies, then make sure you change club to one that takes the trouble out of play, as displayed in this graphic. While you’ll have a slightly longer shot to the green, you’ll greatly reduce the chance of a big number.

Know your numbers
Of course, key to all of this is knowing how far each of your woods carries. If you’re looking to add more distance and control to your game, come and test the TaylorMade M4 driver, M4 fairway and M4 hybrid. If you have a fitting we can hit all three in a range of different specifications until we find your ideal set-up for the course.

Which model is best for you?

It goes without saying that each brand has several iron models in its range because each one offers something different. This is where tapping into our expertise can be really useful. During a fitting we can explain the pros and cons of each iron set and help you to discover the model that is perfect for your game.

Titleist AP3 iron

If you’re looking to upgrade to a more workable iron as your handicap gets lower, you shouldn’t overlook the Titleist 718 AP3 model. During a fitting we can test it in multiple shafts and against more forgiving irons like the 718 AP1 or more compact irons like the 718 AP2 to see which look, feel and ball flight you prefer.

Titleist AP1 iron

If you’re seeking more distance and forgiveness, we think you’ll be drawn to the Titleist 718 AP1 iron, which has a larger headshape and powerful face. During testing we can look at your consistency and yardages with this and other heads and shafts to ensure you leave with a set that’s ideal for your game.
