The Next Generation

Colchester Golf Club celebrated their Junior Section with a presentation evening at the Club.

Losing a number of the older juniors at the end of 2018 allowed the next generation to come through and shine.

Although success in county competitions did not come, a team won the Jason Moss Trophy at Clacton, the team’s scorers were Arian Masud, Micah Blowers, Charley Allison and Max Day.

Whilst team success in County competitions was out of reach, individual talent is coming through the section and to underline this Ed Mason won the Essex Schools Under-Fourteen Boys Championship along with the County Order-Of-Merit Under-14 (Div. 2) boys.

Alanna Mathews showed that her talent was not to be ignored by taking first place in the Under-14 Girls Division. Ollie Baker took fourth place in the Under- 14 (Div 1) whilst Theo Baker at fifteen-years-old, came third in the Under-18 Division! Theo also added the Romford Junior Open to his quiver.

Internally Arian Masud, now playing off three, claimed the Junior Club Championship with two rounds totalling 140, two shots better than the winner of the Club Championship. To this win, Masud added the Centenary Medal and the Remembrance Stableford.

Naturally, the Baker Boys were to the fore. From the main Club competitions, Theo won the Elmstead Cup and the Millennium Trophy and Ollie carried away the Cooper Bland Cup. In junior competitions, Theo did a double with the Junior Elmstead and Ollie won the St.Patrick’s Day Stableford, plus the Autumn Stableford. As if that was not enough he secured the Most Improved Golfer of 2019 and not surprisingly the Junior Order-of-Merit title.

Guy Haines was represented with the Spring Trophy and, along with his father Richard, he won the Barnes Cup for the second time in three years. Haines also won the Junior Captain’s Day.

Another talented pair of brothers are Charlie and Ollie Allison who divide their time between cricket and golf, managing to excel in each. Ollie won the Valentine‘s Stableford whilst brother Charlie won the Halloween Stableford and the Club’s Junior Open.

Cody Zhou was able to pocket the Summer Sizzler Series and the End of Year Trophy was won by Ed Mason.

As a footnote the Professionals at the Club run six-week Academy Courses, which are open to all, and the last few spots for the first course starting on April 5th are still available. Anyone, girls or boys, interested should contact the club on Colchester 853396.

Titleist TS Metalwoods - Faster than yours

Evolution...

It’s safe to say that the technology embedded into today’s clubs has helped us hit the ball further without swinging any harder. For some that might mean hitting the ball as far as we did before the effects of ageing started to take place, whereas for others it means booming drives 300+ yards and reaching par-5s in two.

Just imagine...

If you hit every club in your bag five to ten yards further, your tee shots will be longer and you'll have less distance remaining to the green. So, rather than standing there with a 6-iron you might now have an 8-iron in your hand, which gives you a much better chance of hitting it close.

We can help you!

This can be the reality for a lot of club golfers today, but only if you make sure your clubs are right for your swing. With lots of new products hitting the shelves in the coming weeks, now's the perfect time to try out a few different options and see if we can make a difference to your game.

Rainy season

Hats off to any weekday and weekend warriors out there. It’s great to see that no matter how cold or wet it is, you still venture onto the course to enjoy some time with your friends. We only have one piece of advice for you: be well equipped for what Mother Nature might throw your way!

At least this guy has a brolly! But, when it comes to playing golf in the rain, we're talking about a lot more than simply that. From the latest waterproof suits (jacket and trouser) to bags and umbrellas, it’s all key to staying dry with a smile on your face.

When it comes to your clothing, we recommend wearing Galvin Green's Aaron waterproofs (pictured above). They're completely waterproof, remarkably unrestrictive and are available for you to try on in-store.

Product spotlight

Cobra KING Speedzone driver

The brand's F9 driver was a huge success last year so it's going to be interesting to see how the new Speedzone matches up in a few weeks.

We've seen it first hand when we placed our pre-order and it looks awesome. Not just behind the ball or its yellow and black colourway, but its new CNC Infinity Milled Face really does look the part - and adds extra power and distance!
