Course news

Greenkeepers update

Over recent weeks you may have noticed the greens team working on the 7th and 8th greens on Badgers and this week on the 4th of Deer. The works they have completed are repairs to the drainage on the perimeter of these greens, as over the years they have experienced some silting up which has caused some puddling after heavy rain.

Luckily with this spell of good weather the old drain has been dug up repaired, reinstated and the turf re laid with minimum disturbance. The surface should now settle down and be in great condition going in to winter.

The greens have also all been vertidrained, top dressed and treated with a special Autumn fertiliser ready for winter.

Every little helps...

The lads have also asked to maintain these four key points to help them as much as possible.

Repair your pitch mark and one other on every green.
Don’t jump the fences looking for balls in the fields, this is private land and not the clubs.
Rake the bunkers.
Every tee has a box of top dressing, please add a little to the ground after you have hit, this helps the grass grow and keeps a thicker coverage for longer.

Competition news

October Stableford Results

We all love a true underdog story and after over a year of trying the underdog has got his win!

On Sunday we hosted our October Stableford, with the sun out the fantastic scoring over recent weeks continued as Lee Glasby shot 39 points to win division one and in division two is was a game of two halves for Ross Ashcroft aka “Underdog”.

Ross has been close to winning all summer and was slowly turning into the Rickie Fowler of Cleobury with constant and consistent scores. Amy then nicknamed him “Underdog”, as anyone who has played with Ross will know the potential he has.

This all changed for Ross on Sunday, who after 14 points on Deer Park found a completely different gear to shoot 26 around Foxes Run to finish on 40 points and win.

Ross had this to say, “It is great to get the win, Amy, you can now call me Superdog!”

Weekend roll up

The weekend before saw Adam Winnall, playing off 6, shoot 39 points to take top spot in the weekend roll up. After a blip on his 12th hole Adam showed great bounce back ability with birdies on 13 and 14 to finish ahead of Jem Jones on 38 points and Neil Brydon on 37 points. Adam has had a fairly quiet season by his standard but he could be one to watch in the winter order of merit with strong displays like this.

They are here!

As mentioned last week the new DT TruSoft is here! To celebrate the launch we have 12 special bonus balls packs! That means for just £6 you get 4 balls instead of 3! These are our biggest selling Titleist ball at CMGC and for just £20 a dozen, it is easy to see why.

Why you should try it:

It has been redesigned with a new core and a new cover delivering longer distance on all shots. Add this to being the softest feeling Titleist ball (yes, even softer than the Pro V1).

It is soft by the new larger, low compression core giving the soft feel, but also low spin which is what makes it go further.

For £6 give them a go… You won’t regret it.

Yet to be beaten!

Our half-priced re-spike has gone really well so far with 12 pairs coming through the door in 5 days.

We are yet to be beaten, managing to re-spike every single pair, the best so far was these FootJoy Classics which we think are older than Josh.

Bring your shoes in and we will re-spike them for just £7.50!

Get them done now for extra grip going into the winter.

Ladies Pink Charity Day

Twenty ladies signed up to play in Our Ladies Pink Charity fun competition. This day was first started by Pat Darby whom sadly passed away last January, on the day Sian Hawes payed tribute to Pat and dedicated the day to Pat’s memory.

As always, a great deal of fun was had by all, we played a Stableford Waltz in teams of three.

The wining team was Wendy Duncan, Beryl Eastwood and Annette Juckes.

There were two nearest the pins, which were won by Sian Hawes and Judy Sant. On the day all the money raised went to Breast Cancer UK, the total sum was £190.00!

Thank you all for your support and generosity.

Friendly Matches

We have had two friendly matches in the last two weeks, the first was Cleobury Mortimer vs Ombersley, where we had a very enjoyable match and the result was Cleobury ladies 4 Ombersley 0.

Monday 2nd October was our second match Cleobury Mortimer vs Kidderminster, where again we had a very friendly game against Kidderminster as the wind picked up to add to the challenge, but Cleobury ladies played well to see the score come in at 3.5 to 0.5.

This was the last friendly match of the season and we would like to thank all the ladies that have taken part in the matches throughout the year. We have had a good season!

Have a great golfing week everyone and if your looking for a game or lessons please get in touch.
