Stretton's news

Good afternoon. As you open up this week’s newsletter I shall be on my way back from Chessington after my fitting for clubs at Callaway. I shall let you know how I get on next week. A long way to go some of you might think, but having clubs correctly fitted really does make a difference.

I know a lot of people now buy off the internet, but do you really know what you are getting. Rees Brown at the end of 2016 bought a set of irons online from a reputable supplier with the spec he asked for.

Rees has struggled with his game since and so last week had these very same clubs checked out in the shop here at Hornsea. They were all 4 degrees upright and strong in loft by 2 degrees.

No wonder Rees was struggling. These clubs have now been adjusted to how they should have been. You might think it is better to buy online as you might save a few pounds, but are you really getting what you think?

So many clubs now sold online are found to be fake. It is an old saying, but a very true one. Golfers who know, buy from their Pro. Doing this means you know exactly what you are getting.

It's back again!

So, on Tuesday morning we had a covering of snow up at the club which unfortunately meant the course was closed again.

It really has been a long old winter now and I for one can’t wait for it to end. I really can’t remember the course being closed so often and when it has been open, for most of the time, the course has been very wet.

Not like Hornsea at all, but when you look around nearly every golf course across the North of England is in the same boat and we have actually faired better than most.

European Tour Fantasy Race To Dubai

Well hardly any change this week as it looks like we all struggled. Dave Prescott came out the best of us all though, but nobody really picked up big points. Paul Gibson is not looking good though as he is still struggling to find the same sort of performance that saw him lift last year’s title.

There is a long way to go though. So far 21 of the 29 entered have paid for the sweep. Before long I shall remove those that haven’t paid from the league so at least this year we will know we are all in contention.

Silver Tee Challenge

Great to see that the start sheet for this event is now nearly full.

Just a shame that so many that normally play every Sunday do not want to support this. It is winter golf and this is just a bit of fun.

Good luck to all and may the best golfers win.

Lost On The Course

Last weekend one of our members lost a pitch fork with a ball marker attached with the same logo as this. It holds great sentimental value and they would really appreciate it back. If you did pick it up can you please hand it in to the Pro Shop and we can get it back to the person concerned.

Comfort is a must

Much has been made of the benefits of golf on our physical and mental health in recent years, with a study by Edinburgh University even claiming playing regularly can increase your life expectancy. Part of their research found that golfers typically burn around 500 calories during 18 holes, which isn’t surprising given the distance we travel.

Illustration

How far are you actually walking?
A recent R&A experiment suggested the average total distance walked was 6.6 miles, with factors such as the number of shots taken (depicted in the illustration) playing a key role.

If you were to go on a seven-mile walk you’d certainly make sure you were wearing your most comfortable shoes, so why is golf any different? Consider this FootJoy ContourFIT that is built on their softest ever cushioning, with an achilles pad that ensures lasting playing comfort.

Titleist improve their range

If we were to ask you which brand of golf ball is the most popular worldwide, we’d be pretty confident that you’d say Titleist. Whilst they’re best known for Pro V1 and Pro V1x, they also have some hidden gems in their range, including these two new balls for 2018.

Tour Soft

Tour Soft
For years Titleist has had the NXT Tour ball in their range but 2018 signals time for a change. The brand new Tour Soft replaces NXT Tour and delivers extremely soft feel, impressive distance and excellent short game performance for the golfer who is a bit more budget conscious.

Velocity
The new and improved Velocity ball is perfect for those of you looking for distance over everything else, achievable thanks to surprisingly low spin and a high flight on all shots. Better yet, the Velocity is available in a range of high-visibility colours to add a bit of fun to your game.

PING
PING add Max to the family

If you're looking for more forgiveness to improve your accuracy off the tee, PING's new G400 Max driver is one of the most forgiving drivers we’ve ever seen. It joins the popular G400 family of drivers that includes the standard model, the Straight Flight (SFT) option which counters a fade, and the Low Spin (LST) driver that produces a lower spin flight.

With four drivers in their range for 2018, plus the G Le, which is specifically designed for ladies, there's bound to be an option to help improve your game.
