Captain's Prize

Congratulations go to Neil Thompson for shooting his lowest ever gross score to win the gentleman Captain’s Prize on Saturday.

He scored 43 stableford points and has now reduced his handicap to 12. Second place went to Chris Adams with 40 points. There were then three players on 38 points and they were Messrs Harvey, Massey and Andy Veitch.

Closest to the pin was won by Bill Wrigley who won a bottle of champagne for his efforts. The CSS of the day was 69 and like last week there were loads of twos - we obviously need to get Russ to put the par three flags in trickier positions!

Ladies Mr Captain's Day

It was a busy week for gentleman captain Paul Simpson as it was the ladies Mr Captain’s day on Thursday. Lynette Lodge was on top form to clinch first prize with 37 points.

One shot behind in second was Corinne Veitch and then the following four players shared third place with 34 points: Tessa Day, Min Fishwick, Gwynneth Bramwell and Vicky Chamberlain. The nearest the line prize was won by Margaret Sharp and the nearest the pin by Louise Gerald. The CSS on the day was the same as par, 71. Emma Daynes won the nine hole stableford with a cracking 20 points.

If you’re working hard to get your handicap closer to scratch, it really will pay off to focus on the details, as it’s usually the short game that sets people apart. As you can see with the graphics above, the wrong wedge set-up can lead to an awkward 35-yard gap and more difficult half shots, which is why we always recommend a gapping session or fitting.

With PING you have plenty of options, including this popular Glide 2.0 Stealth wedge, which comes in seven different lofts between 46° and 60°. It means whether you’re looking for a two, three or four wedge set-up in your bag, we can get your yardages gapped perfectly.
