West Hill has moved up 6 places to number 79 in the Top 100 golf courses in the British Isles in the new Golf Monthly rankings. As 52 of the courses ahead of us are links courses, by my calculations that makes us the 27th best inland course in the British Isles!!!! What a testament to the layout and condition of our fantastic course.
Fantastic news this week as Matthew Fitzpatrick, winner of The West Hill Pro/Am in June 2016, won the DP World Tour Championship to finish 6th in The Race To Dubai, collecting over €1,500,000 and moving to number 29 in the world - and he may well be playing our pro/am again next year!
With Christmas nearly upon us we have designed a simple wish list that you can fill in with the golfing goods/ideas that you would love to receive in your sack this year. You can either pass it on to your family/friends or put your name on it and deposit it with us so that we can point your family/ friends in the right direction when they arrive in the shop.

Don't forget that following the fantastic success of the Titleist 917 Launch Weekend we have been lucky enough to secure the Titleist Tec Man for one afternoon before Christmas on Tuesday 29 November. We have only four spaces remaining. This is your one opportunity this year to try all of the latest shafts in this amazing new Titleist Head which has been in development in the Titleist R&D laboratory for the last two years. Click here to save £30 fitting charge and compare it against your own clubs in a FREE TRIAL.
Following this year's success, I'm organising another Members' Day Out to Sunningdale on 5th October 2017. 36 holes on the Old and New with breakfast, carvery lunch, evening sandwiches and prizes. Cost £250. I have to pay a deposit before the end of the year so please click here if you are interested. Maximum 24 people and I only have 3 spots left.
Swing Studio Fitting News
As you can see from the picture Steve Lewis is very pleased to be collecting his new Mizuno JPX 900 irons. After trying out the ranges from Titleist, Taylor Made and Mizuno there was a standout winner. With an average increase of 12 yards we also managed to get better spin rate, launch angle and shot dispersion.
If you would like to compare any of your equipment with the latest technology click here to arrange a session.
Happy golfing,
Greg.
Congratulations to Jamie Potter who continued his rich vein of form, scoring 38 points to win the Weekday Stableford on Friday, and getting cut to 4.
When you all see me smiling this weekend you'll know it is because Jamie is enjoying a Game Improvement Plan with me!
Second in Div 1 was Warwick Taylor with 36 points and obviously enjoying his new Mizuno custom fitted irons and third with 34 points was Martin Thomas.
Neil Blick won Div 2 and is now 13.5 (lucky escape Neil!) Toddy was second with 36 points and Will Longmuir third with 32 points.
Well done to Gerry Kennedy who won the West Hill Tour to Thailand organised by the Captain - no pictures appearing of the Tourists at the end of their arduous week though!
Whilst the warm up nets are being finished please remember to use our buggies free of charge to nip down to the practice range for your warm up. It takes less than 2 minutes in a buggy and if it's raining we have 6 covered bays. Over two thirds of the entire membership still haven't used their free bucket of balls so pick up a token from the shop and give it a whirl before the Stableford on Saturday and see how beautiful it is down there!
