Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Wortley Golf Club's weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week both on and off the golf course.

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

Who's been winning what?

Thursday Stableford was won by Callum Bethel with 37 points beating Andy Wright on a countback. Liam Dawson was in third on 32 points with Paul Hutton fourth on 30 points.

Congratulations goes to Phil Archer for his hole-in-one on the ninth hole, a lovely shot so I’m told and well worth the huge bar bill! Well done Phil.

Saturday, we had the final Winter Stableford of the season, and with it, we crowned the winner who had the best three of six aggregate scores.

The day started with what seemed like an unassailable lead for Paul Hutton, an aggregate score of 114 after rounds of 37/41/36 had him nine-points clear of Tom Beaumont, Chris Goodchild and Steve Osguthorpe. One of those guys had to shoot 41 points or better to tie or beat Paul and one man...well, boy did just that. 15-years-old Tom Beaumont had a great round and scored 42 points to get to 116 points, two clear with aggregate rounds of 37/37/42.

A fabulous result for Tom who loves golf and works hard on his game whenever he can, he even had a lesson with me after his 42 points on Saturday. I’m sure he will keep improving and be a great asset to Wortley Golf Club in the future.

A great month of lessons...

A great mix of lessons this month with the mild weather, I have had ages ranging from 8 to 74, coming down trying to improve and increase their enjoyment of this fabulous game. We have had girls, ladies, juniors, left-handers, beginners, single figure hcps, we have worked on putting, chipping, driving, wedge gapping, course strategy and everything in between.

Don’t wait while the season has started to get your game in shape, start early and be ready for the season. Quite a few have already started so don’t get left behind.

Come and see myself or Will and get your season off to a quick start with some pre-season tune ups on your swing, your game, your putting or just a general pre-season check. We are here to help you improve your game and have more fun out there playing golf.

Pushing the boundaries

Driver technology continues to be the hot topic of conversation in the golfing world, as brands search for ways of giving us more forgiveness, greater distance and better accuracy off the tee. So, which drivers are really pushing the boundaries this year?

Introducing Black Cat from Lynx

This driver has been around for a few years now but has been updated for 2019, and doesn't disappoint. Cup face technology generates impressive ball speeds off the face, whilst also creating less spin for optimum performance off the tee. We also love its smart effective energy transfer (EET), which enlargens the sweet spot at impact to help with those less-than-perfect strikes (and we all do those from time to time).

Finding the right club for you can be a serious game-changer and sure-fire way of lowering your scores, and the best way of doing this is by taking advantage of our professional advice during an eye-opening custom fitting.

Bags of fun

As we enter March, you might be tempted for a quick nine holes after work as the days lengthen. That means time is of the essence, so a lightweight carry bag is ideal to take from the boot straight to the first tee. So, guess what? We have done the hard yards for you and come up with the perfect solution...

Titleist Players 4 stand bag

Impressive is one of the many words that spring to mind when you take one look at this bag from Titleist. Not only for its great looks but small details like its dual-density foam ensure maximum comfort throughout your round - vital if you manage to squeeze in the full 18. It easily carries 14 clubs and with several colour options available, make sure you pop in store next time you’re down the club and take a closer look.
