Rob Humphrey

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to this week's newsletter.

I hope you all managed to watch some of The Open last week. It was a fantastic tournament with a brilliant winner in Francesco Molinari.

I heard a couple of Tyrrells members had backed him on Saturday at 66/1, drinks are on you chaps!

Hopefully you didn’t back my pick, Rickie Fowler who was in decent position until a triple bogey 8 during Saturday’s round put an end to his championship and my 20 quid!

Enjoy this week's read.

Course news

Course Maintenance week

Please bear in mind next week is our large course maintenance week.

Paul and his team will be hollow coring greens, approaches and tees. During the week all green staff have priority, so if they’re working on a hole please pick up and move to the next hole. It probably goes without saying but next week isn’t the idea time to play a match – you have been warned! The first tee will be closed until 10am on Monday. Please contact the Pro Shop for more information.

It’s going to be a busy week on the golf course as the re-design of our 14th green gets underway. The plans look fantastic, and I can’t wait to see the results.

Danger!

Are you the type of golfer who considers the danger ahead of you and plans accordingly, or do you pull a driver from the bag on every par-4 and par-5 without a blink? If you’re the latter then you need to read on.

Consider the danger
You hear pros talk a lot about the ‘smart shot’ in their post-round interviews. If you’re on the tee and there’s a bunker, ditch or other hazard around the distance that your driver or fairway wood normally flies, then make sure you change club to one that takes the trouble out of play, as displayed in this graphic. While you’ll have a slightly longer shot to the green, you’ll greatly reduce the chance of a big number.

Know your numbers
Of course, key to all of this is knowing how far each of your woods carries. If you’re looking to add more distance and control to your game, come and test the Cleveland Launcher HB driver, fairway and hybrid. If you have a fitting we can hit all three in a range of different specifications until we find your ideal set-up for the course.

Which model is best for you?

It goes without saying that each brand has several iron models in its range because each one offers something different. This is where tapping into our expertise can be really useful. During a fitting we can explain the pros and cons of each iron set and help you to discover the model that is perfect for your game.

Lynx Prowler VT iron

If you’re looking to upgrade to a more workable iron as your handicap gets lower, you shouldn’t overlook the Lynx Prowler VT model, which looks like a classic blade but is hollow for plenty of forgiveness. During a fitting we can test it in multiple shafts and against other irons to see which look, feel and ball flight you prefer.

Lynx Parallax iron

If you’re seeking maximum distance with plenty of forgiveness, we think you’ll be drawn to the Lynx Parallax iron, which has a larger headshape and a powerful thin face. During testing we can look at your consistency and yardages with this and other heads and shafts to ensure you leave with a set that’s ideal for your game.

Spotlight: Callaway Chrome Soft TruVis

If you were a fan of the previous generation TruVis, which helped to increase focus and visibility by maximising your view of the golf ball, then you're going to love this.

The new and improved 2018 Chrome Soft has greater ball speed and reduced long-game spin compared to last year's model, increasing distance throughout the bag. Couple this with two TruVis colour options (white/red and yellow/black) and you have a ball that will be going in a lot of golf bags this summer.

In our final Tips from the Tour video, we take a look at how to play out of the bunker when your ball is plugged. Remember these few simple tips and you'll be getting up-and-down in no time.

I hope you enjoyed this week's newsletter. As always, if you have anything that you'd like to contribute please speak to one of the pro shop team. I'll see you at the club over the coming days.
