How to reap the rewards of club fitting

An example below posted on our Facebook page:

Fitting the new Titleist 818 H2 hybrid today was a really easy one with one of our very promising junior golfers at the club.

Ensuring a good gap between the 3 wood and 4 iron was key.

Gaining optimum trajectory, spin and ensuring the perfect landing angle was also at the heart of the fitting.

Enjoy the new club Cameron

Scratch team with an amazing win over top of the league club

The scratch team played a home match against the top of the table team from Leven Thistle. After a little concern that the match would be off due to frost the course opened on winter greens.

The guys pulled out all the stops to record a terrific 3-1 victory to inflict Leven's first loss of the campaign.

Group 1. Ryan Walsh and Scott Findlay lost 1 down
Group 2, Bob Robertson and Jim Imrie won 1 up.
Group 3. John A Anthony and Darren Guild won 3 and 2.
Group 4. Mark Johnston and Kenny Rattery won 2 and 1.

My congratulations go to everyone who played. I walked round to give the team some support and the level of golf on show, from both teams, was amazing.
Can I also pass on my heartiest thanks to the new catering of Will and Caroline, as the food presented to us after the match was first class.

Resurgent Bubba?

It’s hard to know whether the quirky American is best known for his pink driver or for winning two Green Jackets, but seeing Bubba Watson struggle over the past 12 months – so much so that he was on the verge of retiring at the age of 39 – was a sad sight.

He plummeted from being a staple name inside the world’s top 10 to being well outside the top 100, so you would have been forgiven for not expecting much from him at last week’s Genesis Open. However, the 39-year-old returned to the top of the leaderboard and secured a two-shot victory in fantastic fashion.

So, what happened in those 12 months in between? Well, Bubba switched golf ball to a brightly coloured ball from a different manufacturer. Only recently has he reversed his decision and went back to the old faithful that helped him win two majors, and almost immediately he wins his 10th PGA Tour title. Coincidence?
