Richard Crawshaw

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week’s newsletter. The weather just keeps getting better and with the record temperatures set to continue, we could be in the middle of a truly great golfing summer with The Open Championship at Carnoustie and The Ladies Open at Lytham on the horizon and the Ryder Cup to look forward to as well.

Our course is playing really well, as good as we have seen for years and everyone who visits us is having a great time. 2018 is proving to be a good one so far at Wortley GC.

Enjoy the read.

Club news

A sad time for the club...

As many of you know we recently and very sadly lost Chris Sharp. Chris was a good friend over many years and was a special lady who loved golf and Wortley so much. Sharpey, we will all miss you lots. Rest in Peace Mrs.

Competition news

A great weekend of quality golf

This weekend we had another fabulous few golfing days with Saturday been the Pro’s Competition No.3, a Stableford that was won by Gordon Jowitt with an excellent 37 points beating Walter Scott into second place on 33 points. Well done Gordon.

Nearest the pin on hole 16 was won by John Richmond.

Sunday it was the Presidents Centenary Medal which was won by Andrew Collings with a late in the day round of nett 67 off 4 handicap, which is excellent golf on a course that gets trickier by the day. In second place was Mick Carr who led all day with his very good score of nett 68 off 12 handicap only to be pipped at the post by Andrew.

The ladies had their Medal #6 on Sunday which was won by Carole Kelly in card play of over Sandra Carr (Mum of Mick…above ) both had nett 71. Alsison Stenson and Maureen Wasden were next on nett 72.

Coaching news

Are you struggling with your game?

Lots of lessons are been given at this busy time of the year and lots of players of different abilities improving and learning new skills along the way. I have been giving a few more on course playing lessons this year and really do enjoy those lessons. Players can really improve their on-course strategy and learn to get the most from their own games without making too many swing changes. If you fancy a on course lesson just pop in and have a chat to myself or Will in the shop.

Sometimes though it is important to improve technique. The pictures below show a very good player who visits me for lessons. David was struggling with his striking and after a few changes you can see how much he improved his impact position giving him a more consistent and solid strike with his irons, sometimes a little change can make a huge difference. Don’t struggle with your golf, come and see myself or Will and let us help you enjoy and get more from your game.

Which bracket do you fall in?

There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets.

Bang for your buck
Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. The Wilson Staff DX2 Soft carries on this trend by offering incredibly soft feel, whilst the cover is available in several Matte finishes.

The all-rounder
If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag without the premium price tag, this new Wilson Staff DX3 Soft Spin ball aids distance on full shots, whilst increasing spin on approach shots for more control.

Tour performance
The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Wilson Staff's DX3 Urethane is their premium option, and it's easy to see why, with its ultra-soft urethane cover creating exceptional spin and feel.

The perfect fit

It’s hard to believe that over half of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes. If we were to ask you, would you be confident you were wearing the correct size? Have you ever been professionally measured for your golf shoes, including for width?

Have you been measured?
You might wonder why all this is important. Buying properly fitted shoes has many benefits, such as holding their shape to look newer for longer, less upper creasing and splitting, and it allows you to use the ground efficiently to create power - and we all know that every yard helps.

The adidas Tour360 BOOST 2.0 comes in a range of sizes from 6.5 to 13, so it’s worth coming in to get measured before you buy.
