Speaking to Lauren after his round, Colin Kalas put his successful game to the new PING G400 Max driver he purchased from Yelverton Pro Shop last week. Now that’s one happy man!

Junior news

Calling all Juniors

Make sure you attend this Sundays Golf access which starts at 3pm. This is an important one, as it’s the last opportunity to get a card in before our Short Course eclectic comes to a close on Wednesday 31st October. The winner will be announced at the start of next month.

With this fantastic weather we have been having over the last few days, it was a great opportunity to get the juniors out on the practice area to unleash. We are now starting to build a great bunch of golfers. With every week, I see them improving and with the Golf Access sessions running alongside the junior coaching, we are well on our way to getting handicaps and looking forward to having a great Yelverton Junior Team.

Pro's news

Adam's news

I am currently in France with Team Yelverton aka Tim Shobrook, Jamie Shobrook and Ed Coombes.
We arrived at Portsmouth late Sunday night for a leisurely overnight sail to Caen where we played our first round of golf at Parc De Golf on Monday. Yesterday we made our way to Paris to play Le Golf National, the home of the 2018 Ryder Cup. It’s hard to believe it has been 11 years since I played there in the 2007 French Open. Truly an incredible course.

Our Yelverton team is currently lying second in the tournament and I’m amongst the front runners in the individual Pro Tournament, so all to play for as we go into our third and final day here at Champ De Bataille. We sail back tonight on the overnight ferry, so I will see you all over the next few days. Hopefully we will be returning as The 2018 Champions! Wish us luck!

Lauren's corner

Don’t worry everyone, I have everything under control whilst Adam is away. I’m bossing it!
Really looking forward to the Medal and Eveline West Trophy tomorrow. I’m playing with Christine Perkins. Let’s just hope the weather holds up.

It has been so lovely, I would hate for the rain to return, especially for a Medal. I’ll be playing off my new handicap of 10. I think I’m going to miss those shots but hey ho, let’s give it a go!

A little help from my friends...

Seeing the 'Holy Trinity' of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler having a great time together whilst playing the best courses in the world can leave you feeling a bit envious. Sure, you and your friends have a good enough time down at the club, but you might want to experience something truly special all together - a golf trip away.

Go the distance

We've all been there - around 75 yards out and faced with a tricky little pitch shot towards a tight pin; danger over the back and a tier just before the flag that will take anything short down to the front edge.

The first stage in overcoming potential card wreckers like this is knowing how far you hit a full shot with each of your wedges. The second is having three different distances that you can comfortably hit with each, adding to your options when faced with this scenario.

Cleveland CBX

One wedge which will offer you the versatility required for absolute precision in distance control is Cleveland’s CBX. The cavity back design gives you the forgiveness you need when faced with a difficult pitch shot, as well as short game versatility. The centre of gravity is positioned behind the face, which aids the feel and also gives you supreme distance control, meaning you’ll be confident of avoiding danger both in front and behind the green.

Video of the Week

The new TS drivers from Titleist have been causing quite a stir around the club since their launch last month, and it's easy to see why when you watch this video review.

I hope you enjoyed our newsletter and if there is any help or advice you need please pop into the shop and we'll be delighted to help. Adam and the team.
