Junior news

D&C Junior League Champions

Congratulations to our junior team who are the new D&C Junior League Champions! It is a lovely trophy that has been presented since 1981 and Reddish Vale have never won it before so it’s a first for Reddish Vale.

Before Monday’s match at Romiley they trailed Bramhall by 13 shots and after Romiley had won by 8.

What a team! Thank you to all players who have represented Reddish Vale in the league - Daniel Myers, Harry Darby, Cole Parkinson, Luke Parkinson, Josh Beeby, Callum Smith and Tom Powell.
Special mention to Harry Darby who won best nett with a 67, and Daniel Myers who won best gross with 76 in the final league fixture.

The juniors have still to play the final of the D&C Knockout, against Bramhall! I haven’t arranged the date or the venue with Bramhall’s Junior Organiser yet but I will keep you posted.

Social Media

If you are on Facebook please check out ‘Andrew Myers Golf’ because you can keep up with everything that’s going on. The news of the juniors win in the D&C League went down well, so thank you for all the supportive comments. Trevor Bate posted a nostalgic picture of the junior section back in the day; I think Trevor said it was from 1979. Other members of the team also commented on what great days they were, and I am glad we are able to give our current juniors that same experience. You may be able to recognise Trevor or others in the photograph?

Pro’s Stableford

There was a low entry due to the Reddish Vale Trophy, but the winner was Richard Howard with 35 points. There were no twos so the pot rolls over to the next Pro's comp, and so you know the next two Pro’s comps that are qualifiers will be played on Sunday 1st September and Sunday 29th September. These competitions are open to all club members with a handicap, and these will help you maintain your official handicap.

  • Division Three Winner – John Devenney (Snr) - 40.

Twos £6.75.Don’t forget that on Wednesday 28th August is the Frank Brown shield, re-arranged from two weeks ago.


Big weekend ahead

This weekend is The Victory Trophy, Club Championship and Seniors' Championship so three top board comps rolled into one. If you have missed the draw, but wish to play there is the odd space so please contact us in the pro shop. It is very good to win any of these, and it is actually possible to win all three; but to do this you need to be a minimum of 55 years old and a good player! John O’Neill nearly did it a few years ago, just coming up short in the Club Championship. I can think of at least a couple who are capable of doing that now. Good luck to all players!


 
 
 
Back to basics

There are any number of online tutorials giving you the 'perfect advice' as to how to cure a specific problem you may have with your game. However, the key to solving most issues in sport (golf included) is to go right back to where it all began - the fundamentals.

Back to basics
Check your fundamentals

The way you set-up to the ball writes the script for the swing. This may be one of the more basic elements to the game but yet it is also one of the most overlooked – and that can be dangerous for your scorecard.

Jack Nicklaus once said:

"If you set up correctly, there's a good chance you'll hit a reasonable shot, even if you make a mediocre swing. If you set up to the ball poorly, you'll hit a lousy shot even if you make the greatest swing in the world”

Who are we to argue with the Golden Bear? So, if you'd like a check-up of the fundamentals, get in touch with a member of the team using the button below.

The most beautiful shot in golf

If we were to ask you this question what would you say? We think some of you would say the ‘Tiger stinger’ but a good proportion would say the pitch shot that takes a couple of bounces before stopping to a halt. It looks sensational but how on earth do you play it?

Wedges gif shot stop

The key to making this shot is simple – your wedges. Yes, technique is key and is certainly something we can talk you through during a lesson but without the correct equipment you stand no chance.

Callaway MD4

Try Callaway Mack Daddy 4 wedges

If the grooves on your wedges are worn or dirty, it's time to either clean or replace them.

We love these Mack Daddy 4 wedges from Callaway, which boast Groove-in-Groove technology.

Essentially, it increases the number of contact points between the ball and club to impart more spin than ever before. Add in the wedge's Nip-It groove at the bottom of the face and your control around the greens will increase massively.

Mastering this shot takes practice and a little coaching, so book in with us and we will give you all the guidance you need.
