Greetings from Mark Smith
Stamford Golf Club - PGA Golf Professional

Tulip Sunday

In an attempt to grow this amazing game, we were offered the opportunity to exhibit at Stamford Park on Sunday, 26 April. The annual event organised by Staybridge and District Assembly and supported by New Charter Housing Trust, attracts thousands of locals to the annual event with several attractions all offering FREE of charge services to the public.

 

Myself & Assistant Pro Andy Earlam saw this as an opportunity to promote Stamford Golf Club and the game of golf in general and it was a huge success, gaining interest from lots of potential golfers. Our main objective was to make people aware of our existence and to show how approachable we are as a game & club.

If you know of any people who may show interest in the game of golf please send them our way.

Cornish festival

It was my 6th visit to Newquay in Cornwall this year and Stamford entered 3 teams in Britain's biggest Pro Am.

This year Assitant Pro Andy Earlam missed out on the opportunity due to Final Exams. Local Pro’s Grant Hamerton & Kris Andrews paired up with Stamford members as we set off down the south shores of the UK to play 3 of Britain's finest links.

The most successful story came from Professional Grant Hamerton and his 3 merry men, Paul Traynor, Tony Bowden & James Woodcock. From 114 teams they managed a very respectable 10th place, a best finish from any team effort in the 6 years I have entered.

On a personal note, my game suffered for several reasons and I’m not ashamed to publish the results from both the individual & teams, but I’m almost certain I will be returning next year for a better result.

On behalf of all three professionals, I would like to thank the amateurs who took part and I look forward to returning next year should you wish to join us.

Juniors – BMW Junior challenge

Congratulations to Stamford juniors in their attempt to regain the BMW Junior Challenge Trophy. Victory away at Hazel Grove in Round 1 sees the Stamford lads enter their names into the Round 2 draw which is yet to be made, but any win away from home is an added bonus. Well done boys!

Chris HoufeLowe Trophy

The first major of the season goes to Chris Houfe. Chris managed to post a 71 gross, minus his 5 handicap for a nett score of 66 which was 1 shot better than anyone else in the 141 man field could manage.

Runner up was Keith Dockerty with 73 – 6 = 67 and in 3rd place on a card play off was in-form Steve Finan finishing with 82 – 14 = 68.

Well done to all the winners and those who participated.

 
GolfBuddy WT5

New GolfBuddy WT5 watch 

A GPS device might be just what you need to help you go after those pins and shoot lower scores. Slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the WT5 is a sports tech watch that provides yardages to the front, middle and back of the green. Among the many super features there’s a pedometer and scoring function. This watch is just one of the brand’s distance measuring devices in an extensive line-up, and you can check out the full range in our shop.

Srixon balls

What ball will suit me? 

Last week we reminded you how important it is to play with the right ball because we all have different swing speeds. On top of this our own budgets vary and it can be difficult to know if you’re getting the best out of your ball. Ask us about Srixon’s range which covers golfers of all abilities and watch this video to find out more.

PING Cadence

PING video exclusive 

Foremost TV catch up with PING’s Senior Design Engineer, Marty Jertson, to take a closer look at the manufacturer’s new Cadence range of putters. This is well worth a watch, especially if you’re targeting a better season on the greens this year. Over to you Marty…
