Hello Golfers,

Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we explore who will be battling it out at the European Tour's flagship event this weekend, we look at ways of combining several layers to create the perfect outfit, and we discuss one simple way of achieving extra distance off the tee.

Enjoy the read.

Competition news

Men's Team Golf

We know the season is in full swing once the first and second teams get this year's campaigns underway. The first team played at home last Thursday night against Knowle Golf Club. The scoreline of 1.5 - 3.5 to Knowle doesn't really reflect how close the match was with quite a few games going to the 18th hole!

Clevedon also played a Somerset Bowl tie at Cannington on Sunday. This time the boys in red ran out as 4 - 1 winners. Well done indeed.

Juniors vs. The Players Club

Congratulations to the juniors who had an impressive 4 - 1 win against The Players Club at home on Sunday. A great win considering every one from the Clevedon team had to give shots to their opponents.
Well done and keep it going!

May Madness

This event returned this year after an absence over the last couple of years. The event was a 4BBB with a few twists including joker holes (double points), pieces of string to be used as life lines and even a cricket bat!

Roger Burns and Steve Buckland scored a whopping 65 points for a two point victory. A run down of the top ten can be found here.

All eyes on Wentworth

What an amazing weekend of sport we have ahead of us: the first cricket test of the summer takes place at Lord’s as England host Pakistan; Liverpool face serial winners Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and tennis’ clay court season comes to its climax as the French Open gets underway at Roland Garros.

But, more importantly, the European Tour returns to our shores as Wentworth hosts the BMW PGA Championship. Last year’s victor, Alex Noren, will be looking to carry on his stellar form and make it back-to-back victories in this event but faces stiff competition from other Ryder Cup stars and past winners like Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

These Galvin Green options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these PING G400 drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels that let us fine-tune your trajectory higher or lower. The more compact standard model and the more forgiving G400 Max driver also feature aerodynamic shaping with turbulators and Vortec Technology so you can increase head speed and enjoy effortlessly long distance.
