Latest Games

Chris HorsfieldOn Friday the 19th of March I played golf with Chris Horsfield. Here is an introduction from Chris; 

"My name is Chris Horsfield and am married with two teenage daughters. I live in Owlsmoor, Sandhurst and have lived there for the past 20 years. I own a construction company (The Construction Partnership) with offices in Hamble (Southampton) and in Hersham (Surrey). We act as a main contractors on projects ranging from £1m to £4m, working mainly in education, housing (not private clients), health care, commercial and industrial sectors. I am currently half way through a two year course to become an adjudicator so I can settle construction disputes. 

I've been playing golf for the past 25 years and mainly play during the week with clients and consultants. I have been a member at WH for almost two years and currently play off 17 with the aim of reducing this to 13, which was what I was playing off a couple of years ago. On Friday (19.3.16) I played golf with Guy, the rumours were definitely unfounded - he's a really nice guy, and wow, can he play golf! Unsurprisingly I lost 3 and 2 but thoroughly enjoyed our time on the course and look forward to doing it again in the near future. Thanks again, and happy birthday for Sunday Guy." 

I am also looking for one more member to join me at the Hayling Pro/Am on Friday 13 May. Please click here if you are interested.

Swing studio 

Custom Fitting in The Swing Studio 

Mark Davies (pictured below in green) came for an iron fitting in the Swing Studio. Using the Mizuno DNA fitting system and analysing ball flight with the Flightscope radar ball tracking we established that Mark hit the KBS Tour C Taper shafts with the longest and most consistent flight. He loved the look and the feel of the new TaylorMade M2 irons and is hitting them really well. 

Mark    William

Last week William Hewett (pictured above with the cap) came for a driver fitting with Greg. After trying the latest from Mizuno & TaylorMade the new M2 out performed the others with a lower spin rate which gave an average increase of 11 yards.

Coaching in The Swing Studio 
Keith
Keith Stanley has already improved his ball striking significantly and is now working on eliminating the fade or pull shot. As you can see in the left hand picture his downswing was too steep so with one simple improvement in his transition from backswing to downswing we were able to make his downswing much shallower ( right picture ). From here the club will attack the ball from an inside path eliminating the pull shot.


Junior news 

Here is a report from our junior organiser, Jonathan Hewett

The Juniors have played two matches this season. Our first outing this season in the Guildford and District league ended in defeat at Farnham but we scored a resounding victory in the first Under 14 Rookie Tour League match, taking both points against Surbiton. Our team played some exceptional golf with Joe Wood playing off 5 and Rio Marsden winning 5 and 4 and Will Hewett and Sam Wood walking in from the 12th! 

This Saturday we play we at Royal Wimbledon and the following Tuesday we host the Berkshire at West Hill. New players are always welcome and any Junior members wishing to play in the club matches please e mail Alison.hewett@zen.co.uk
