Society news

Great day out for the WGA Society at Leckford 15th June 2018

Congratulations to our Society members who enjoyed a great day out at Leckford last week. Well done to Chris Wilson who took first place with 35 points, not to mention the ‘shot of the day’ as he holed out from 140 yards on the 2nd hole.

Well done to Carmine Brudenell for coming in 2nd place, and 3rd place to Rob Farley – both on 34 points only separated on countback. Rob won closest the pin – just 2” away on the ninth hole.

There are still places on our last Society Day before the summer break – 18 holes at the outstanding Silvermere Golf Club in Cobham followed by a two-course meal on Friday 6 July 2018 – total cost is £60.

Call us on 01962 885254 or email Jane on admin@winchestergolf.co.uk if you’d like to join us. It’s a great way to experience a new golf with a group of friendly faces!

Winter vs summer

Summer golf throws up different requirements and skill sets to that of winter golf, and you’ll often find yourself in positions or playing shots that you wouldn’t necessarily face at the other times of the year. The checklist below highlights the main performance differences you’ll notice between seasons, with an emphasis on distance in the winter and control in the summer.

A great option all-year round
These factors can make settling on one ball confusing, so here are our thoughts on why the TaylorMade Project (s) could be your perfect option. Not only does its large inner core deliver faster ball speeds for winter distance, but it also boasts a low compression that helps slower swinging players generate the high spin needed on firm summer greens.

Don't be 'that' player

Golfers have it tough. Not only do we need to focus on hitting a variety of different shots, but we also have to be clued up on all of the rules – both written and unwritten. Having good etiquette is very important, especially if you want to stay on the good side of your playing partners.

Meeting and playing with new people can be one of the most rewarding aspects of golf. The easiest way to guarantee your smooth transition into a new group is to follow some basic etiquette guidelines, such as not moving while someone is hitting a shot like above.

Most golfers find movement in their periphery very distracting. The correct etiquette is to always stand to the side and behind of somebody hitting, to keep still and to watch where a shot finishes, which will also help reduce the time taken for ball searches and speed up your round.

There were many stories to come out of last week's U.S. Open, but we just can't look past Mickelson's major moment of madness. What did you make of it?
