A busy week at HGC this week as launched the first Lloyd South Lakes BMW Open Week; a series of Opens brought together inside seven days to help better service our Open events and also get as many people as possible playing our great course.
Firstly, a big thank you to Clubfit Golf and Heysham Golf Club sponsors Lloyd South Lakes. They are a great company to be involved with, and today we are welcoming 100 of their customers in their annual customer golf day. You can see from the pics we have a great line up of BMW and Mini cars, plus the sun is shining.

On Tuesday we had our Ladies Open, yesterday a Texas Scramble followed by a Senior Pairs event and the Gents Team Open on Saturday. You can still get a time for tomorrow or Saturday if you fancy a last-minute entry, but if not look out for this week continuing next year. Full results will be available at www.heyshamgolfclub.co.uk.

Enjoy the rest of this week's read. |
Following in his dad's footsteps
Over the weekend we held our first 36-hole board competition, the twinned Pearce Smith & R.B. Lee events. These 36-hole events are held over the weekend, meaning the course can play incredibly different on both days. As it was, this was the case as Saturday scoring was considerably lower than Sunday. There were still some good scores from Clark Stanley-Jones, Scott Lee and Paul Hodgson on Sunday. However, the full events were won by Tim Barry (Pearce Smith) and Matt Grannell (R.B. Lee). Both these guys have been working with myself as well as Ryan up here, so it's great to see some fantastic scoring from those golfers benefiting from lessons. Terry Keenan and Damien Doyle were unlucky to miss after a couple of lessons with Paul. Well done to all involved. A big well done to Lucas Done for qualifying for the England Schools Championships at Sherwood Forest Golf Club following in his dad's footsteps from 1990.
If you have big golfing news, let me know in the shop and I will feature your story in our newsletter.

A word with the Coach
Despite it being lovely today, it has been really blustery throughout the week mixed in with some rain, this has been a little bit of a blessing as it's meant I could work with my lessons on how to combat the wind. Rather than 'fight it', a few simple set-up changes and a shallower angle of attack can help give the player more chance of controlling their ball in the wind. Don't be scared of practicing when the weather gets rough. In golf club results it was great to see Adi Lockhart shoot 65 on Saturday, recently doing some brain training using our Focus Head Band. However, it's hard to stay focused following a night on the tiles Lockers, your Sunday score didn't quite match Saturdays. Good Old Lockers. My mate Tim Barry playing well and really impressed with his golf and win; must've been our chat last Saturday Tim. Lastly, the County Championships were held last week at Formby Golf Club; a cracking course. One of my students Louis Talarczyk finished fourth, a great performance and hopefully the start of bigger things to come. Some of you may have seen his technique when having a lesson with me, I often use his move through the ball to demonstrate active body movement. Well done to all others that took part in that event. You may not see me in the shop, but ask one of the guys in the Shop to get you booked in with me; see how I can help your game. Ryan |

| Time for a little reflection |
Who doesn’t love the month of June? Long evenings, blistering sunshine (might be a little optimistic here) and plenty of opportunities to hit the course. With much of the season left to go and more competitions on the horizon, it’s time to take note of how you’ve been playing so far this year. |
Scenario 1 Hopefully, you've been playing regularly to your handicap or, better still, shooting under it. If that’s the case then happy days, keep up the good work! But we all know there’s room for improvement. Perhaps you don’t use a particular club as often as you could simply out of a lack of confidence with it? Or maybe you’re struggling with a destructive shot that is impacting your scores?
|
Scenario 2 On the other hand, you might be struggling to put a good score together no matter what you try. Some of you may be recalling a lesson you had from several years back or searching the web for a quick-fix only to be suffering further? Whether you’re in need of lessons, new equipment or a confidence boost, make sure you utilise our professional advice and skill set by speaking to a member of the team in-store. |
