Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club

Hello Golfers,

We have had to dust off our waterproofs and find our base layers this week with a much more autumnal feel in the air. This week the lads have finished off micro coring the greens with Badgers and Deer now complete. The mix of sun, wind and rain has made this process a lot easier this year with near perfect conditions to get the job done with little disruption. This should set them up nicely for the rest of September and going into October.

As always we have lots to report this week so sit back relax and if you fancy coming over for a game give us a call! PS – how many have noticed our new welcome sign?

MG Shopfront Charity Golf Day

Over 100 golfers from all over the West Midlands came to Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club for the now annual MG Shopfront Charity Golf Day. Mark Greenfield a member of Cleobury and the owner of MG Shopfronts supports the Promise Dreams and Steve Bull Foundation.

The day which started three years ago has seen huge growth and was sold out weeks in advance. Mark added;

“The two chosen charities are both local and mean a lot to myself and my family, it is important to know the money raised from today’s event would help local people. We got Steve Bull involved last year and this year Steve and his wife have been a great help in helping it expand.”

The day turned out to be a huge success with £….. raised. Pictured from left Suresh Bawa of Promise Dreams, Mark Copson of Mac Surfacing (sponsor), Steve Bull, Mark Greenfield (MG Shopfronts) and Phil Price (sponsor).

Club Championships 2018

Ladies and gents meet the 2018 club champions. Played over two days covering 36 holes this requires mental strength and some great golf.

Grant Carbines shot a very impressive 71 on day one to take a nice lead into day 2. However a congested pack of players behind him, were there to pounce if he slipped up.

In the nett David Bessant, Jez Duffield and Jamie Fearnley led the way. However like in the gross it was very tight.

Day 2 was windy but sunny, the scores were rolling in and whilst some slipped away Ash Cook, Charlie Edwards and Ian Downes made their moves. Jez Duffield however kept his composure to shoot a nett 71 to go with his 65 to take the nett trophy. Grant Carbines who was struggling through the front nine birdie the 10th hole for a fine 38 on Deer Park to take the gross trophy.

Grant added

"I have been trying to win this for 25 years as a founder member. To finally win is a great feeling and I am very proud to be the champion."

Club professional Dave Pain had this to say;

"It must be fate in our 25th year two founder members are our club champions. Jez and Grant have seen the club develop and these two are fantastic champions. A big thank you to all who entered and made the event such a success."

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
Odyssey’s Red Ball putter features some of the most sophisticated alignment technology on the market.

The innovative Red Ball in the scope of the putter allows you to consistently get into the correct set-up position over the ball. Add Odyssey's Versa high contrast technology that helps you align the putter better, and this putter is going to be very helpful for a lot of golfers.

Something different
Alternatively, you might be a fan of Odyssey's O-Works Marxman Red putter, which is also available in a black finish.

If you have alignment issues with your putting then this model has been designed specifically for golfers like you, with a full-length alignment aid extending right to the back edge of the putter for improved performance.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. If you want a lower spinning and higher launching ball off the tee, the TP5x is for you. If you're after a softer feeling ball with a lower trajectory then you need to try TaylorMade's TP5 model.

TaylorMade Project (s)

The Project (s) is new for 2018 and is all about speed, which relates to distance. Still offering incredibly soft feel, the Project (s) delivers low driver spin for signficantly longer drives. What's more, it's available in white, yellow and orange.

Have a great golfing week and we hope to see you at CMGC very soon.
