Member news

The Medal winner is…

Congratulations to Richard Carlson who won the medal on Sunday with a nett 67. Rich was the first member to take up the annual unlimited coaching offer with me this year and is already seeing the dividends of developing every aspect of his game with me. Already cut from 22 to 20 - let’s see where we can get to by the end of the year Rich!

David Wilkinson finished second in Division 2 with nett 69 and Julian Hodnett was third with nett 70. Jim Reid had a two hour Performance Analysis with me on Friday and we worked on improving his strike and to get rid of a weak shot to the right. He then went out on Sunday and shot nett 68 to win Division 1 of the medal - how’s that for instant results!! Second was Peter Yearsley who has just had a putting lesson with me and has swing coaching with Greg, third was Clive Morgan with nett 69 who is also on a Game Improvement Programme.

Thought for the day…

If you are one of the 70% of the membership who are still to collect their FREE 2019 range card with 12 FREE buckets of balls then perhaps this is the time? You can enjoy improving your game or even just warming up before a competition by enjoying hitting a few balls on our fantastic range.

Remember - my buggies are always available for you to whizz down to the range - otherwise it’s only a 450 yard/ 4 minute walk.

Bank Holiday Mixed Foursomes

The scoring was amazing in the Bank Holiday Mixed Foursomes with Patrick Dawson & Ellen Yates winning with 42 points on count back from The Captain & Ruth Mackay. In third place were Tim Christopher & Sonja O’Sullivan with 40 points.

Well done again to inform Ian & Jane Kimber who won the 14 hole Mixed Greensomes & Supper with a brilliant 37 points - their coaching with Greg is paying off well. In second place were John & Jan Gilkes with 33 points.

Members on Tour…

Brian Morris, Keith Stanley, Chris Smith, Anthony Mills, Nick Millar, Ben Wilkinson and Alistair Wooster played the excellent Chantilly, Chateaux Raray and Club du Lys (Les Chenes) last weekend.

Ladies news…

Unlucky to the Pearson Trophy Team who lost 5-2 at home to Windlesham on Tuesday. Let’s hope they can do a Liverpool and Tottenham comeback at the away fixture coming up.

Well done to Lynne Daniel who won the Weekday Stableford last week with 39 points. On an excellent scoring day Helen Atkinson, Anne Trew and Gina Rivett were all tied second with 38 points.

Message from Dan - Can you support this event?

Next Friday 17th May Merrist Wood College are hosting an annual Golf Day to remember Jade Morgan, a student who sadly took his own life many years ago. Through the great work of Dave Osborn and the help of the college students, each year they setup a Golf Day to help raise money for the Jade Morgan foundation whereby each student has to bring a team of 4, play a round at Merrist Wood and try to raise as much money as they can.

This year is no different and Dave has asked me if there are 3 West Hill members who are available on the day to support the college and play in my team. There will be all sorts of fun prizes on the day with two nearest the pins, longest drive and plenty of top four ball vouchers to be won. It will be meet there for 8/8:30 for bacon rolls and coffee with tee times starting from 9am onwards. The cost on the day will be £35 which will go straight into the foundation. Apologies for the late notice and colliding with the invitation here, I know the date is not perfect but if you haven't got a spot here yet and fancy a game then give the shop a call on 01483473172. I look forward to hearing from you.

Iron out your game

It doesn’t matter whether you struggle to break 100 or are targeting rounds in the 70s, a set of custom fitted irons will go a long way in helping you achieve your goals. For those of you who think you're not good enough or haven't been fitted before, here's a rough guide to how a custom fit session works.

The rough guide to a custom fitting

• Step 1 – Let’s talk. We use this time to familiarise ourselves with your golf game, your goals and about your current set of clubs.

• Step 2 - You take to the floor. Yes, it's that simple - you hit some golf balls with your own irons so we have a baseline for comparison.

• Step 3 - Hit the latest and greatest. Once you're nicely warmed up and raring to go, we'll give you some irons to try that we think will strengthen your weaknesses and improve your strengths. Take Callaway's Big Bertha irons (2019) for example; this super game-improvement iron is their easiest to launch distance iron that is packed full of forgiveness.

• Step 4 - Time to dial in. When we've found an iron model that is outperforming the rest, we'll try out different shafts and lies until we get the perfect make-up for your game.

• Step 5 - Your new irons. Once you've got your hands on your new set, we'll keep in touch to make sure you are 100% happy with your new purchase.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s take your iron game to the next level in 2019 with a custom fitting and let’s give Callaway’s Big Bertha irons a go to see if they are right for you.

Battle of the bags

You may remember in the middle of April we brought you the battle of the shoes. Now, as we enter May, it’s time for another contest as we pit one each of Motocaddy's stand and cart bags up against each other in the ultimate ‘Battle of the bags.’

AquaFLEX stand bag vs Pro-Series cart bag

In the red corner, we have the brand new AquaFLEX stang bag. For those of you who like a lightweight carry bag, you now have this fantastic option from Motocaddy that weighs in around 2.2kg - that's roughly the same as 22 Blueberry muffins.

Facing off against it in the blue corner is the updated Pro-Series cart bag for 2019. This premium offering comes with a jumbo putter well as well as 14 full-length dividers for ultimate organization.

Whether you like to carry your clubs around the course or want a larger bag to sit on your trolley and house all of your belongings, we have plenty of options for you to choose from in-store.

What happens when you throw five of the world's best (and longest) golfers together with brand new drivers and ask them who can hit it the furthest? A competition of mega proportions ensues…

I hope you have a great week. If you need any help of advice, please visit the golf shop and we will be delighted to help. Guy and the golf team.
