Competition news

What a wonderful achievement

On Saturday we held our annual Men’s AmAm, with nearly 2 months of rain the week before it was touch or go if the competition would take place. The green staff did an amazing job to get the course not only playable but to have feedback saying the course was in excellent condition and visitors saying it’s the best they have seen our course for years.

The AmAm went off without a hitch and 168 players enjoyed a wonderful day.

Congratulations to the 4 lads from Enville coming in as the last team shooting 92 points and winning by 1 from a team from Kings Norton with our boys finishing 3rd and 4th - Well done to all involved.

Brian and Gail win at Moseley

Congratulations to Brian Pinner and his wife Gail for winning the Moseley seniors mixed open. A great score of 39 points was enough to win on a countback - Well done to the both off you.

Pro's news

Another athlete in the family…

Macey competed in her sports day on Wednesday and she only went and won her race!

She was amazing - She must take after her dad as athletes go.

Wow. What a strike

How good does it feel when you strike the ball right out of the sweet spot? Pretty special, right? As much as we'd all love to, striking the centre of the clubface on every shot isn't realistic, which is why opting for some irons with added MOI could make all the difference.

What is MOI?

An iron’s actual sweet spot is no bigger than a pinhead, with anything struck outside resulting in the clubhead beginning to twist at impact – this is what is commonly referred to as MOI. The higher a club's MOI, the more stable it is through impact and therefore more resistant to twisting. So...

Higher MOI = More forgiving

The secret to better strikes

So, here's the secret to getting that special feeling more often with your irons:

Coaching – Yep, let’s take some time to assess your swing to ensure you're giving yourself the best chance of success

Try out Mizuno's JPX919 irons – All three models in the range (Hot Metal, Forged and Tour) boast a unique stability frame to enhance MOI across the face; plus, the Swing DNA will fit you into the perfect model for your game in just three swings

Let’s start getting a little extra forgiveness back in your game with a fun-filled custom fitting session with your local PGA professional – that’s us!

Battle of the balls

It’s time to bring you aheavyweight contest as two brilliant models of golf ball duke it out for your attention in a bid to convince you they should be making their way into your bag. Let the battle commence...

Which ball will come out on top?

TaylorMade Project (s)

TaylorMade’s focus on lower driver spin and impressive distance is clear to see when you tee off with the Project (s) golf ball.

Even on slower swing speeds this ball offers blistering pace, making it great for those of you seeking distance over anything else.

Compared to its challenger, the Project (s) comes in at a cheaper price point but is also available in matt orange and matt yellow if you're after something a little more snazzy.

TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x

New and improved for 2019, TaylorMade's flagship balls have been hugely successful on Tour thanks to the likes of Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson putting them into play.

Both are constructed from five layers, with the TP5x performing slightly better in the wind whilst the TP5 offers a lower launch.

It's easy to see why these balls come in at a premium price point when you put them into play. If you haven't tried them yet it's about time you do.
