Captain’s Drive-in
Last Saturday saw the official start of the 2019 golfing season at West Bradford with the Captain’s Drive-in at 12:30pm. Club Captain Chris McLaren, Vice-Captain Tim Hemingway and President Chris Rodwell all hit good tee shots, watched on by a good number of members and guests.
120 members played in the individual stableford and many also attended the Captains evening do which was a great success! |
|
On behalf of myself and my Pro Shop team, I would like to wish the officials all the best for 2019 and here’s to an excellent year in office!

Bradford Primaries ‘Tri-Golf’
Last Thursday I was involved with a golf festival for 100 primary school children at Tong Leadership Academy in Bradford.
I initially ran a training workshop for a group of sport ambassadors from Tong. They learnt about delivering basic golf skills using ‘Tri-Golf’ equipment (plastic clubs, foam balls, coloured markers and hoops etc.) and had the opportunity to set-up their own activity station ready for the festival.
10 primary schools attended, each bringing teams of 10 (5 boys & 5 girls). The schools rotated around 8 individual stations where they took part in various putting and chipping games. Each station was timed and the children scored as many points as possible.
Bankfoot primary school were the eventual winners, earning a place at the West Yorkshire School Games event later in the year.
For many of the children this was their first introduction to the game, and will hopefully encourage a few of the youngsters to give the game a try!
This week I will be running a similar event at Hanson School in Bradford, helping grow the game in the area.

A driver is a powerful beast, sometimes too powerful if a hole has a hazard within range. In this scenario, you have a plethero of options to choose from, but there is one that is often overlooked. |
Picture the scene You're stood on a par-4 tee box and there’s a water hazard 240 yards away. What do you do? Many of you will reach for your longest iron on auto-pilot, however a custom-fitted fairway wood might just be the perfect solution; getting you further down the hole and closer to the green. | |
|
Why is this often overlooked? A lot of golfers don't have confidence in hitting their fairway wood because, quite simply, they don't use it enough. But with technology to help you hit them better - such as a Tungsten weight in PING's G410 fairway wood that increases forgiveness - it's time you gave them another go. |
Custom fitting is key We're delighted to see so many of you come to us for a custom fit when you're after a new driver or set of irons, but why does it stop there? A custom fitting is so important in ensuring you get the most from any new purchase, whether that's a driver, fairway wood or putter. |
