Recognition for Cathy!

The Professional Golfers Association (South Region) had their annual dinner and presentation of awards at The Berkshire yesterday.

The evening saw Denis Pugh renowned-coach and Sky Sports Golf pundit receive the Life Time Achievement Award and our very own Cathy Panton-Lewis receive the Player Of The Year award.

Cathy played in the inaugural USA Women's Open in July, and she was the leading qualifier and one of only 4 British ladies to make the half way cut.

Well done Cathy!

Tour news

What could have been...

It was all-change at the top of the world rankings yet again, as Justin Rose reclaimed the number one spot after winning the Turkish Airlines Open. The Englishman beat China’s Li Haotong in a playoff after both players finished on 17-under-par.

For Li, it was certainly a story of what could have been after a series of near-misses down the final stretch. To compound his misery further, Li had a makeable putt on the first playoff hole to claim victory, only to race his first attempt a few feet past before failing to hole the one coming back. A three-putt for Li and a second consecutive Turkish Airlines Open victory for Rose, securing his place back at the summit of the world rankings.

Srixon Xmas Ball Personalisation - Option 2

Time is precious

The proposed changes to the Rules of Golf are less than two months away, so we thought we'd look at one introduction which is designed to keep your round moving at a good pace...no more five hour rounds!

Under the current Rules of Golf (27.1c), a ball is deemed lost if it has not been found or identified by the player within five minutes of beginning their search. However, under the proposed changes (18.2a), a ball is deemed lost if it is not found within three minutes - that's a 40% reduction in time allowed to search for a lost ball.

Remember - if your ball strays offline or there is a good chance that you'll have trouble finding it, hit a provisional ball to maintain your group's speed of play and avoid the embarrassment of walking back to the ground behind to replay your shot.

Electric dreams

Winter golf can be very enjoyable if you're fully prepared, but a thing of nightmares if you're not. We know many of you use a Motocaddy electric trolley to transport your bag around the course, but do you have the correct winter accessories attached to get you through your round?

Deluxe Trolley Mittens

Designed to fit any Motocaddy trolley, these are perfect for any golfer whose hands suffer during the winter. As well as providing maximum warmth, these fleece-lined mittens also improve your trolley's control across any slippery surface you might happen to come across.

Hedgehog Winter Wheels

If you play a lot of golf during the winter - either here or at another club - the chances are you'll be asked to use 'winter wheels' on your trolley to help protect the course. They come with an anti-skid tread design, and are designed to reduce turf drag in wet ground conditions.

Universal Umbrella Holder

We all know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be putting your umbrella up and down between shots. With this umbrella holder from Motocaddy, you'll be able to keep yours up for the whole round - just make sure you've got an accessory station if you have a new M-Series trolley.

Video of the Week

What happens when you give four PGA Tour players the day off and leave them on a golf course? It involves blindfolds, inflatables and baseball bats.

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.
