Competition news

John Cullen is the man of the moment

The Stewart Smith Challenge Cup has been played for since 1909. This year’s entry was full with additional tee times added.

The day started murky but soon changed in the afternoon to glorious sunshine. With a top prize of £250 the battle was hard fought. After 18 holes there was a tie between Nathan Slater of Bewdley Pines Golf Club and John Cullen of Redditch Golf Club. Rules of the competition mean a sudden death playoff.

The holes chosen by the Club Captain were 1,2,12 and 18. The first was halved in 4, the second in 5 with both players shaving the hole for birdies. On hole 12 both players comfortably drove over the fairway bunkers to leave short shots to the green. Nathan missed his birdie but John Cullen rattled it in to become the current holder of the Stewart Smith Challenge Cup. Well done John.

P.S. in the photo Nathan is on the left.

A early morning knock to blow the cob webs out

On Monday I played in the mid summer madness. Having just got back off holiday the day before I was very stiff and tried but had a great morning with my Dad, Mark Baker and Phil Brookes. We all played Ok and came in and out quite well and managed to finish with 16 under par which I thought would have a good chance of winning, how wrong was I. In second place with a superb knock of 56.4 was Liam Nock, Craig Williams, Greg Lavery and Tony Tench. The winners on this morning were Adrian Sharpe, James Hale, Richard West and Richard Salters with a great knock of 53.6.

Sue and George in the winner enclosure once again

The first mixed Trophy competition was played on Sunday 27th May. Good scores were returned and the winners were George and Sue Baylis with 40 points.
In second place was Kevin O'Connor and Sandra Hinton with 35 points and in third place was Malcolm Brazier ( Mr President) and Wendy Ray (Madam President) with 32 points.

The next mixed trophy The T Harmen Smith will be played for on Sunday 26th August.

Coaching news

Junior half term coaching

Another great half term junior camp at KidderminsterGC completed. Despite the weather we used the studio for a hour and then outside for the rest. Noel delivers another great junior camp. Are you interested in joining our junior academy?? Contact us now and be part of our junior academy.

Why choose us?

When it comes to purchasing golf equipment there are many factors that you need to take into consideration. One such factor is your shopping destination, so here are just a few reasons why we should be your number one stop for all things golf.

There’s only one choice
Unlike buying blind from the internet and hoping the specs you choose match up and nothing goes wrong, here in the shop you can test a vast range of products and see all the stats for yourself to help you make an informed purchase that you can have total confidence in.

It's our custom fitting ethos that really separates us from buying elsewhere, which is something you really should take advantage of.

Two of the latest iron models that are proving very popular with our members are the TaylorMade M3 and M4. The former is packed with technology like Face Slots, Speed Pockets and tungsten weighting to suit better players looking for more distance, while the latter enjoys all these benefits in a larger head that is very forgiving.

Summer's calling

This week takes us into June, which means the hottest months are on the horizon. It also means we’re likely to see more of you making regular appearances here at the club and at this time of year, there is one accessory that is a huge asset, both on and off the course.

You can’t beat a pair of Oakleys
Whether it’s to track your drives in low sunshine or for summer comfort away from the course, we can find a frame shape and lens style to suit you. Both the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL (worn by Cabrera-Bello above) and Oakley Targetline models you see below come with the option of Prizm Golf lenses, which separate similar colours to enhance the differences between grass lengths and highlight subtle breaks on the green.
