Scratch Team Update

Hi everyone at East Herts golf club this is Mark Lewis scratch team captain with my review of the scratch team’s season. I've run the team for a couple of years now and had 1 successful year helping Ken Hayes win Division 4 a few years back. Last year was really hard to get a team out for games but this year what with some new members joining the club and some other members of the club making themselves available the job of captain has not been so bad.

We started our season with a Thornton cup game over at Epping, we were up in the morning and unfortunately lost in the afternoons singles to go out. We were entered in the plate which is 5 players at home and 5 away we saw James Marshall play his 1st scratch match along with his dad also we saw John Watts play scratch golf for a 5th century for the club. We won through this round to play Toot Hill we won our 5 home games but lost our 5 away which went down to games won and we, unfortunately, hadn't won as many as them.

I think we have had a fairly good season competing well in all the games we have played. I feel there is a more positive vibe this year with new members Harry Tweedy, Justin Bygraves, Tommy Baker, Robert Woolston, Lee Bruce and Gary Crumlish being a big part of that. Also, we have drawn on players who probably don’t want to play scratch but have been there when needs be i.e. Phil Swan and Nick Roberts all these have picked up pts when been called upon.

In this next year, we feel as a team that we shall be pushing for team kit so when we play our matches the team can feel like a team in representing East Herts golf club. We may be looking for some sponsorship to help with this. I feel a proud person to be captain of our scratch team but my aim is to have a solid squad of players willing and wanting to play for the club. I feel we have some good younger players coming through the club, they may want to and be good enough to play and represent the club in the future.

Underneath that Gregg and Ash are building a very good group of young players in the academy which will soon be pushing on as well and they should have a target of where and what the best golf they can play. I hope I haven't bored you too much and I would like to thank everyone who has helped me out this year and supported the team with their time or even just their interest of how we got on.

Daniel has agreed to do some playing lessons with the scratch team and he will publish a few dates soon.

Many thanks Mark Lewis

They've done it again

Without further ado, let us introduce TaylorMade’s scintillating Milled Grind 2 wedge and look at why it's such a good option to be putting in the scoring part of your bag.

TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 wedges

Now this wedge is quite unique. It's all to do with Raw Face Technology, which increases spin and feel compared with the original Milled Grind.

Not only that but whilst the face rusts over time, the rest of the head will maintain its sleek finish.

They look stunning, they perform superbly and there are plenty of options available from a loft, grind and finish perspective.

All that's left to do now is to come and try them out yourself the next time you're down the club.

Winter is coming

Have you ever noticed how much harder you need to hit your putts in the winter compared to summer? As surfaces begin to slow due to longer grass and wetter greens, the need for a little extra effort on your putting stroke becomes clear.

Should you change your putter?

As putts need to be hit harder to get the ball going the same distance as they do in the summer months, using a heavier putter certainly won’t do you any harm.

The thought here is that a heavier putter will do more of the work for you, allowing for a smooth and more controlled putting stroke.

Whilst still being relatively lightweight compared to some putters, Scotty Cameron's Phantom X 12 putter is certainly an option we'd recommend you trying thanks to its optimised weight distribution.

Come and see us in the pro shop and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect putter this autumn.

Spotlight: Boa Fit System

It's not always easy to keep up with the latest trends in fashion or to understand the newest technology that comes to market.

One such thing that we would definitely recommend you trying is the Boa Fit System, which is a replacement for more traditional laces on golf shoes.

We have a brilliant video that explains it in detail if you click the link below but, in short, it allows you to find the perfect fit at just a few turns of the dial - it really is effortless. Come in the shop and try a pair of Boa shoes on to see for yourself.
